未来的变化究竟如何，没有人能预知，但却无法掩盖心中的好奇，如果有时光机，我们都想窥探五年十年后的自己。来这里吧，给自己定一个时期，并想象在那段时间内自己将会成为怎样的人，然后给自己寄封明信片。这间小店可以成为在通往未知的路途中，扮演提醒你的角色，让过去的你和未来的你相互沟通，有梦想就有希望，这里会是幸福温馨的停歇点。

Paper Pepper... A very interesting cafe with a theme of postcard which is getting less and less familiar nowadays. Still remember the last time you send a postcard to someone? Or you not even send a postcard before. Then you should visit this store and start to send one.

寄给未来的一封信或一张明信片

我们晚餐后，在乔治市古迹区一圈一圈绕，来到Paper Pepper这家小小的店（前身是DeYard Restaurant），门口挂着一个招牌布条，写着“明信片与咖啡馆”，我立刻想到了写一封明信片给未来的自己的概念，被吸引的我们于是走了进去。这篇文章不太想写食物与服务，毕竟与对的人在对的情境做对的事情，没有什么是不美好的。

Actually this was our second stop of our night after having our dinner at Joyuex (Jalan Nagore). After several rounds in heritage area, we finally made a decision to pay a visit to Paper Pepper. Very fast we get attracted by the banner in front of their shop, which is "Postcard & Cafe". The first things that come to our mind is write a postcard for the future you which is quite a meaningful concept. For the food and drinks, overall we are quite impressed with it and so far no bad comment was given that night. So, just give it a try!!!

二楼的空间宽敞，颜色鲜艳，是个很好玩的地方

这间小店有个特别的经营概念：可在里头挑选本地艺术家创作的明信片给“未来的自己或朋友”写封明信片，一天一个月一年不等，限期为十年，写完之后店员会帮忙保管，把明信片放在一个写着限期的大橱柜，等时间到了再寄出去。和“未来的自己或朋友”进行对话，是一种非常内心的独白练习，好像时刻提醒自己的梦想，等日后看到以前的自己，会是一种更完整的自我反思和整理。

You can choose a postcard that designed by local artist and send it to the future you or your friends. The sweetest things is they can help you post it within a days, months or years which a limit of 10 years. Once the date that you preferred to post arrive, the owner will help you to post it out. Sounds interesting right?

给未来的自己写些文字是个很棒的概念。王丹曾经在《自由时报》发表一篇文章：“有没有想过给未来的自己发一封电邮？如果你觉得这个主意还不错的话，可以上一个叫做 futureme.org 的网站。”这个网站的发起人是Matt Sly和Jay Patrikios的突发奇想，目前已经累计数十万封信件而且还在持续增加当中。除了通过这件小店，还可在通过网站来写一封信给未来的自己：
