The combination of screech, metal against metal, followed by the sound of wind is actually a combination of sounds we look forward to daily. M was the first to make us aware of this pattern and timing. The mail is delivered by bike throughout the village.
The brakes screech at every stop. The mailboxes are metal and encased in the perimeter wall surrounding each house. The box contains two locked doors. The external side allows the mail person to use a key to put larger packages inside or uses the slot provided to deliver envelopes. The internal side is located inside the property and also contains a door with a key for the owner to retrieve their mail. After the letters or packages are delivered the mail deliverer pedals off, causing a wind sound, to the next box. Some boxes are even decorated. Mail will only be delivered if the name is listed on the box. In order to mail a letter it has to be sent from the post office in the village center.
You cannot mail a letter using your at home mailbox.
