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!

Vietnam, Love stamp,

I met designer of Vietnam new issue (Love stamp) today and he gave me a pretty gift, a set of postcard shows his other designs for Love issue but did not choosen to release.

Please note that this is the first time Vietnam post releases stamp for the love day (Valentin) and plus, it has a rose smell.

Some words to me from designer :
