Have you ever thought that if there was no mobile network in today's time, how would you convey your message to the people? Now people have become so dependent on mobile and the internet that they cannot even imagine living without it. But there was a time when people were living their lives without phones and internet.
In today's time, everyone has left their families and set out for jobs in cities. If there were no internet and mobile phones, you might have had to wait for a letter to know the condition of your family. There was a time when people used to wait for months and months to get a message from their family.
Today, even though a message can be sent from one corner of the world to the other in a jiffy, in those times, a letter arriving at the doorstep with a delay of a month was very special. But time passed, technology advanced and this medium of post got lost somewhere in the depths. In today's article, we are going to tell you about a post office which is the highest post office in the world.
