Sunday Stamps | Roads

Two stamps issued in Malaysia in 2011, dedicated to Underground Engineering Excellence. I find rather curious the second stamp, featuring a schematic cross-section on the SMART Tunnel.

The M4 Viaduct stamp belongs to the 1968 British Bridges series.  

This is also a post for Sunday Stamps, today's topic being Roads.

Chinese Postcrossing Postcards

Postcard sent by Rouris, featuring the beautiful city of Wuyuan.

This postcard was actually sent from Penang, in Malaysia. It is a creation of the sender, Kang Wei, and shows a Chinese tradition, explained in the back:

On the ninth day of Chinese New Year is the Birthday of the Jade Emperor, so we usually set up offering table for him the night before, using  a pair of sugar cane to tie on the sides of the table.
