Poste Restante

If you’re on the road, receiving mail may be a problem. Enter the Poste Restante service – a system where you send your letter or package to a post office. They then hold it for the recipient till they pick it up. It is pretty cool that this still works – I haven’t heard of anyone using this service outside of 1930s books, but today I found myself at the Kuala Lumpur main post office.

 

Me: any poste restante for Martin Engstrom?

 

Malaysia Post: sure, here’s your parcel.

 

Me: Thanks.

 

Couldn’t be smoother. We like it.
