Postcard issued by Myanmar Comedian's Association

On 7 July 2023, Myanmar Post's post offices began selling a fund raising postcard, although it should be noted that this postcard is not an official Myanmar Post product. Instead, it was issued by the Myanmar Comedian's Association for a fundraising initiative. The postcard features images of renowned comedians from the past, along with a delightful poem. This postcard is printed on light gsm art card.

Myanmar Post did not release any commemorative postmark to accompany this special postcard. However, collectors who were eager to acquire this piece resorted to using the pictorial Yangon GPO postmark to cancel.

This unique collaboration between Myanmar Post and the Myanmar Comedian's Association has garnered significant interest among collectors and supporters.

Postal Museum Japan

Recently, on June 2, 2023, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Postal Museum Japan. Situated on Level 9 of Tokyo Skytree Town, the museum showcases a fascinating collection of artifacts dedicated to postal services and communication. Among its impressive exhibits are an astounding 350,000 stamps representing various countries from around the world. During my visit, I captured some captivating photos, which I am excited to share with the readers of this blog.
