As I child I used to wonder how letters could be sent from one country to another when one only paid postage in one country. Who paid for the letter being forwarded in its destination country? So I imagined all the post offices all over the world meticulously keeping track of how many letters from each country they transported, and then at the end of the year they would bill each other.
