Let me just start by saying that I love the postbox that I’m presenting today. Out of the 5 postboxes that get my vote, it is quite possibly my most favourite! Titled “rolling hill”, this very fun and cheerful postbox at carpenter street gets my final vote in the STAMP...
In my five-parter blog series on STAMP, I am featuring this yellow postbox with the fourth design that I’m voting for. This postbox has a cultural feel to it and has been painted to resemble a giant antique tiffin carrier (food container). Back in the olden years, people used this...

Kumamoto, Japan Sender: Mayu Distance travelled: 4562 kilometers The Japanese are an extraordinarily creative bunch who pay great attention to aesthetics.
