THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

Actually, I do remember a time when Airmail envelopes were necessary objects. Since a very young age I started fantasizing about travel and hence developed a number of global pen pals. Japan, Bulgaria, Greece, Haiti, Great Neck (no need for an airmail envelope)... I don't know what we wrote about but I do remember the need to use an airmail envelope when posting. Using a specific envelope made the effort all the more exciting. I am not sure if I was drawn to the graphics (aesthetics) or the idea of the postman clearly prioritizing my letter which was so loudly marked for special VIP via air delivery (function). Quite common in Hong Kong, the envelopes really took me back, they say "travel" and "exotic" in one glimpse.
