Macau, Year of the Rat 2020;

I got this mail recently with souvernir sheet inside. So wonderful the sheet. It shows a family in 4 generations celebrating the lunar new year festival. 

We can see a lot of symbol for this festival. Hongbao, red lanterns, bonsai, flowers...

Thank you Holly!

Year of the Pig 2019

There is a group on postcrossing forum whose members are from countries that issue lunar new year stamps. I don't know for how long that group exits but I begun joining that group in the end of 2014 for the Year of the Goat issue. It is a group that each member send the card to other by using the lunar new year stamp to each other, once per year.

This year, Year of the Pig, I continue this project as representant of Vietnam.

Here are some thing I got from this group:

 Thank you SSLiew for this Thailand  card. He used the both issue Year of the Pig for this card. One issued in Pig year 2007 and the center one is the new.

Thank you MariceNZ for this zoo postcard. The pig is so cool. And the first day postmark is perfect!

Thank you hazelyc for this prepaid postcard. The jade pig is really beautiful. I think you don't know but Jade is my favorite one. Thank you for the first day postmark.

Thank you jannepungar for this Pooh card. I read story about Pooh when I was a youngboy.

Thank you Maxxie for the Shanghai card. I know a litte chinese and I can read the character Shanghai on the postmark. I love your city a lot.

Merci beaucoup Véronique pour ta carte. Très jolie. J'aime bien le timbre comme la couleur, le design sont assez interesant pour cette année. Je déteste autocollant timbres comme quelques années précedentes.

 

Thank you magenta for this special card. When we touch on the card, we can feel something quite interesting. :D

Thank you Kayjin. The round pig looks so cute!

Thank you phoebe! Macau card is always one of my favorite. I love Macau current lunar new year stamps.

Thank you all and hope to see you again next year for the Year of the Rat issue.

Cover#183 Czech: Regis letter with Monkey Year issue of Macau,

Macau Post always has interesting issues for lunar new year event. This one is an evidence. The stampset and Maxicard set represent 5 elements of balance: metal, wood, water, fire and sols. As this year is Year of Monkey of fire, they designed the element of fire on the minisheet with the highest face value , a monkey using a handfan from a well-known story in the Est: Journey to the West. This fan can blow out any type of fire.
