Mail from Ejva - Shanghai - China arrived

The envelope sent by Ejva from Shanghai, China, arrived in Breda without any problem. Also part of the ZALOP project running on the IUOMA network. I even made a small video from the envelope so everybody can zee how it looked like:

Mail to Amo Mao - Shanghai - China

On the IUOMA platform (see: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/) there are 44 visitors from China. One of them is a member of the IUOMA and lives in Shanghai. So I am please to have her mailing address and am sending this into the mail today. Because of the Social Network I can keep trach directly to if the mail arrives or not, and even get comments on the process. So a first connection to the mainland China.

Amo Mao wrote that mail-art to Hong Kong is different to the mainland. Because of the British history of Hing Kong the regulation in that part are different. So that is why this first test is an important one. Shanghai is a large city in China. There are so many artists in that city. Would be interesting to have a first communication by traditional mail.

Contribution from Nico van Hoorn (Netherlands). Not an indication of where to find Chinese Mail-Artists yet. But a nice ides is the Chinese Word "Mail-Art" almost like a sticker or rubber stamp. Maybe I need to make something like that to try to make contact with Chinese mail-artists. Actually the final goal of this Mail-Art research project.
