St Patrick`s Day but No Sign of an Irish Card

BLOG #1453

What day is it anyway, that`s the question .




Hey I'm back again, consecutive day updates, that's rare here on GemsWorldPostcards. I only have two cards for this time. First is this Map card from Albania. More than a map card , it`s like a mini encyclopedia of Albania. All the Albania facts you need to know can be found on the front of the card.



Indrit used a stamp issued in 2018. It is 1 of 3 in a set commemorating Historical Events. This particular stamp commemorates the 100th Anniversary of The Fourteen Points.
The Fourteen Points was a statement of  Principles for Peace that was to be used for Peace negotiations in order to end World War I . The principles were outlined in a January 8, 1918 speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson.

  


Today`s second card arrived from Hong Kong. It shows one of the many large markets in the city.



Victor used a number of stamps on his card.
The left stamp was issue in 2014 and is 1 of a set of 12. The set was called Landscapes of Hong Kong and this one shows Basalt Island. The middle stamp is one of a long running Hong Kong skyline definitive set. The right stamp, from 1997, is 1 of a set of 6 highlighting the establishment of Hong Kong as a special administrative region of the People`s Republic of China.


 

That`s it for this time. Thanks to Indrit and Victor for today`s cards.
Once again - Be safe, wash your hands and don`t touch your face.
