Registered Cover From Myanmar

A lovely registered FDC from Myanmar. I love the cover very much as its a genuine FDC posted from Myanmar. I guess all philatelist will love covers from Myanmar. In addition, the ms is cancelled correctly. What do I mean?

Not all will agree with me but if you ask my opinion, I believe a ms has to be cancelled both on the stamp (refer to the CDS) and on the cover itself (refer to the blue cancel). This is because you can always used a CTO on the cover and if you ask me that is not genuine. Franking a cover with CTO is practiced in many countries even in Malaysia. Though many collectors/philatelist take lightly of this scenario, I tend to appreciate if friends could put 2 cancels on a ms.

I would like to know what others think about this? Please comment.

Myanmar Philately - A New Approach


This is my first postcard from Myanmar and to my surprise its actually an invitation to a philatelic workshop in Myanmar. Sadly, I'm just too busy with my work and couldn't spare time to go there. Im sure I would have love to meet my Myanmar philatelic friends especially Thitar. However, my dearest friend Vera and Bob went to Myanmar and they definitely had the time of their life. Vera was there to give a workshop on thematic collection . In addition, there was an exhibit entitled Myanmar Philately - A New Approach which truly is a WOW factor.

I really hope to come to Myanmar one day and have a great meeting with all my philatelic friends there. Im sure we will have much in common and so much to learn from each other.
