Hong Kong World Stamp Exhibition PRAGA 2008 FDC

Registered air mail and Express priority mail. Which one should be quicker in your mind? These two FDCs were sent from Hong Kong to me on same day, the registered air mail cost 5 days and the express priority mail cost 9 days. Express priority mail, it doesn't deserve this name.

Italy Malatestiana Library FDC

Italy FDC never has beautiful illustration and is always small size, so it's hard to glue all of the valid materials (registered label, additional stamps etc.) on the face side.

Thailand International Letter Writing Week FDC

It seems that Thailand Post always uses a special postmark during their "International Letter Writing Week". You could see the similar postmark on last year's FDCs, the only difference is the postcode, this time is "10230", but "10700" in 2007. I don't know whether they use it in only one post office or many post offices every year.

This guy must have a significant storage problem. To have every FDC posted by every nation in the world is no doubt a daunting task...but I have to ask, "Where in the heck would you put all this crud?"

Good question. What about the storage issue, Soccer? Could you say something about this or do you never bother to look at this forum, other than blindly posting more and more and more and more items to your thread?

Jesus! Too many strange words in this article, so it's hard to understand it clearly. How about your feeling?

KentuckyJ

> How about your feeling?

I think it is inappropriate for you to use "Jesus" in the context you did. There are many other much better ways to express your feeling. Of course, it appears from your past posts and continued use of this free space you do not care any at all as to how your fellow forum members regard your presence here. Is this typical of the new China? We did see similar attitudes expressed by China during the Olympic games.

Soccer, you can edit your previous post to remove your offensive religious reference. You might also want to apologize for the inappropriate remark. You are a guest here, although it appears you have zero respect for the visitors to this forum.
