German postboxes? - NOT amateur radio

We were in Berlin for a week and had a great time. We posted just one physical postcard from the hotel sending our other friends a digital postcard with a collage picture we hoped they would enjoy.

In all our time there we did not see one postbox. 

I know they are yellow. If they were there, they were not obvious! I don't mind as it probably saved me many Euros in postage and postcards. Also, from abroad some postcards take ages. By email, they got them very quickly.

Mrs Merkel back? - NOT amateur radio

Exit polls suggest Mrs Merkel will continue as German chancellor. What is worrying is the support for the AfD, extreme right, anti-immigration party.
