Moving on with my mailbox, here’s a lovely cover from Singapore (send by Edmund)… Very few people know this, but I have a long time “love relationship” to Singapore (as well as with other “Asian Tiger” states). In the early 1990’s (meaning “pre-internet era” in my life), I was studying in local business school. Part of those studies was to select a topic or theme to follow for few years – for some reason (which I can’t remember) I chose Singapore. All I can say that it did prove to be quite interesting and usefull – especially since I’m currently a small business owner with worldwide customer relationships.

The other two stamps on the cover are Greeting stamps with topic “Let’s celebrate”. These were issued in February 2009 and a full set contains 5 different stamps. All stamps in the set have a nominal value of 1st/Local.
