Nagorno-Karabakh


















Oh,.... this is a diamond in my collection, it's Nagorno-Karabakh!!!!!!!! WOw! Wow!

It is a territory officially part of Azerbaijan but in fact fully independent and backed by Armenia. I don't want to talk about politcs here: just consider that the only way to officially send a letter from here is using the stamps of Artsakhpost. Letters take their way through the Armenian postal system. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh

Afghanistan


To topped it all, I got here a cover from Afghanistan. Yeah,...I know what your feel..... :-)  It's Afghanistan!!! It's Afghanistan! I can't believe I have a cover from Afghanistan.

At first, I really doubt the postal system in Afghanistan but when I received this, I was very very very happy! Finally! I got a cover from Afghanistan. For me, this is priceless!

Peggy visited Afghanistan last May 2010 for a volunteer work that's why I got this cover. I asked for it and she was very kind to do so. Thank you so much Peggy!! According to her, the taxi driver don't know where's the post office and it took here an amount of money for the fare of the taxi. She also said that the clerk in the post office don't know where is the Philippines. She added that the streets in Kabul city was no joke to them as foreigners. Upon reading her story thru e-mail,I doubt that I will ever receive it. But, hey I got it! She is now in Texas, USA. I don't know if she'll be back in Afghanistan.

Tokelau
















I love this cover!!! It's from Tokelau! It's a gem in my collection!!!!!!

Tokelau is a territory of New Zealand that consists of three tropical coral atolls with a combined land area of 10 km2 and a population of approximately 1,400 in the South Pacific Ocean. The atolls lie north of the Samoan Islands, east of Tuvalu, south of the Phoenix Islands, southwest of the more distant Line Islands (both islands groups belonging to Kiribati) and northwest of the Cook Islands.
The United Nations General Assembly designated Tokelau a Non-Self-Governing Territory. Until 1976 the official name was Tokelau Islands. Tokelau is sometimes referred to by Westerners by the older, colonial name of The Union Islands.

North Korea
