1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #244

- GPO Stamps, Thimphu

 

(Of all the novel things we have done so far in our travels, this one is right up there amongst the Top3 - yes, having our own personal stamps done with our faces on them! And yes, they are totally legal-tender. We sent out 10 stamps on postcards at this Thimphu General Post Office, and had another set of 12 minted fresh for 300 ngultrums - about S$6. What terrific keepsakes these are! We were told it will take 6-7 days for the postcards to arrive at their destinations, and true enough, they did - after we have arrived home. Bhutanese stamps are famous globally for being bold and beautiful - just look at those King-Queen Anniversary stamps)
