Say HELLO to your furry friend from down under!! :) I don’t understand it either, but if you must know, the first Koala cards was actually the very FIRST postcard I received from Australia… therefore Postcrossing-wise, Koala has been the icon for Australia to me ever since…
From Glenasena. First, Koala isn’t a Malaysian domestic animal.. so to me they look quite foreign. 20 years ago one of my cousins came back from studying in Australia and she had this a Koala soft toy…. it was the first image of Koala I have seen, but my first impression was, Koala looked SCARY! That soft toy… I don’t know, has become somewhat a nightmare to me…. if I had to go somewhere in the dark.. I was praying hard that I wouldn’t encounter something looking like a Koala!
From Misterteapot! A RAS card for RAS 1st Anniversary! :P (and I remember Mr.Teapot first introduced his RAS thread using those Koalas cards and stamps too!).. hahaha and well I am no longer scared of Koalas.. well they can be cute too… if you look pretty well.. :P
From Glenasena. I was excited when I received this card… probably because it was a cartoon form of Koala. I didn’t notice Koalas had big ears until I saw this particular Koala with polka dot orange pants!
