Can you remember the days when we used to receive letters from the postman? Many collected stamps from the envelopes and stuck them on albums made especially for this purpose. In this age of online platforms, when the postman hardly even makes his visit, it may seem that stamp collecting is a dying hobby, but many are still passionate about collecting stamps. On this World Postal Day, we examine the hobby of collecting stamps — the passion that is so closely tied to the postal service — and explore its rich past, glorious present, and possible future.
For several decades, Federation of Inter-Asian Philately (FIAP) has been holding the largest philatelic exhibitions in Asia, but since the onset of the pandemic it came to a standstill.
