I know I'm not the only one around here with an interest in old maps. So for our common reference here is a page with conversions for obsolete units used on maps.

Numbers Don't Lie

postcards

I've known that I've traded the most postcards with people from Finland. I was bored so here are the nubmers of cards I've send and received from each country. You can see that Finland is at the top with a large margin.

I think it would be interesting to create a map of the world and color each country by the number of cards I've traded with that country. And now, the data:
