snail mail...finally!

we finally received a personal mailing address here in doha!! for a 5 QR fee we are able to have mail delivered directly to our door which is SO convenient! the postal delivery service is a bit different here - only businesses receive postal delivery their door. residential addresses must hire a po box at the local post office and it is the resident's responsibility to check their mailboxes. a tad inconvenient as the post office would be a car ride away.

(no, it's not beverly hills tower, 90210, hehe)

so, get those letters coming...did i mention how much we LOVE getting mail :))) here are the costs taken from the canada post website. i believe standard service takes about 10-14 days.

Hi Mike & Krista,

Thanks for the "snail mail" address - that's a lot better than sneding stuff to Mike's work address. Now we can send pics too.

Love,
Mom & Dad M
