France, Year of the Rat;

I got this mail with two beautiful minisheets: Year of the Rat issued by LaPoste. They look so beautiful, not only the color but also the stories on the stamp. One shows rat marriage, a very well-known story in Est-Asia such as Vietnam, China,.... The another shows a rat with a lotus running, maybe to give his bride.

Merci beaucoup Jean!

Australia, Year of the Rat,

I really love Rat year stamp design. At first look I thought it show a traditional story in Vietnam and China about the Kitchen Genius (Táo quân). But actually they are 3 types of main characters in JingJu (Kinh kịch).

Thank you so much czp9336!
