stamp world!

- i'm going to california. do you want anything from there?
       - my girl friend is comin' next week. do you want anything from Japan!?
       - my family is comin' here from Thailand...

(bla bla...)

-of course yes! stamp stamp and stamp!
 it doesnt have to be such an expensive one! the cheapest is enough! thank you, thank you and thank you!:)

that's the usual conversation of me! :)

exactly believe in magic of stamps&post offices! these are the besties to discover a culture,country,what it is about&where you are at..
still remember, at duty-free store, even tough i was broke, bought mixed stamp box used all over the Europe 50, 60 ,70 years ago! they still smell history, happiness, hope,sadness! and what the people wrote inside...
or
tryin' to buy new ones from post offices of the countries i am at! really enjoy with that!

and yesterday, bought new ones used 100 years ago!!!
happiness, happiness! happiness!

searched some information about stamp&its history.
many years ago, shipping cost of sending mail was being paid by receiver instead of sender like cargo is being done now. as you predict,it had some problems. receiver refused to accept the letter to pay the shipping cost by some reasons.( the receiver was not the true one..., the receiver didnt want to read what the sender said.{there might be a "brokenheartedness":)}, or the envelope wasnt loved :} all these are my own scenarios.. bla bla..oohh! almost forgat! there was a different detail: some  people believed not having enouhg money for shipping. thats why they developed a new communication system: sender put a secret messageonto envelope. i'm fine,all goes well - so so) and these signs were enough to understand how the situation goes there. postal company was out of pocket, it  was quickly needed some change.

welcome to a new world: receiver do paying! to prevent all mixups, postal company started to label envelopes:  "it was already paid by sender, even tough you dont wonder or wanna take, it's yours:) " hahahha:) style of label was gradually changed & modernize: ink, signet and then "stamp"! welcome to another world,people!

                                                                            &
  

 then you witness to how the stamps were developed and capitalized.
welcome to the last world,people!
regards...
