snail mail artifacts

Friday, January 16, 2009

I am not a true-blue philatelist but I have my fair share in postage stamp collecting.  This hobby started during my stint in Riyadh when a Sri Lankan colleague asked me for the stamps attached in the mails I received from my country.  I was amazed to see his collections of postage stamps from different countries.  Since then, I have earnestly kept all stamps I chance upon.  I have also bought some sets from bookstores and collector shops.

It’s been said that postage stamps can be regarded as a reflection of a country’s history.  I do agree.  Browsing my set of postage stamps is like reading a history book.  It gives a feeling of going back in time.

See my stamps in multiply.
