Kowloon Walled City, UPU at 150 , a Painted Lady

 Blog # 1670 --- Day 1360 ( That's One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Days ) Since the Start of the  Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .      




Happy Saturday to all.

Today's first card is from Hong Kong and shows a jet flying over Kowloon Walled City in 1994.
Kowloon Walled City was an extremely densely populated and largely lawless enclave of China within the boundaries of Kowloon City.
The walled city had a population density of approximately 1,255,000 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,250,000/sq mi) in 1987, making it the most densely populated spot in the world.



Jean Pierre used a postal label from a vending machine located in the airport. 




My next card arrived from Lithuania. The sender describes herself as a bookworm, tea sipper, flower lover and crazy cat lady  who lives and works in Siauliai, in northern Lithuania.
Strangely I have nothing to say about this card, I leave it to you readers to interpret it as you wish. But it is a nice painted lady card !


Edita used 2 stamps on her card. Both were issued in 2023. The small left stamp is 1 of 3 in a set of Lithuanian Rulers. The right stamp shows a sailing boat.





The last card for today is a Maximum card from Sri Lanka. It celebrates 150  years of the Universal Postal Union  ( UPU ). 


And here's the matching stamp that Ravindra used.  


There you go, the last of it for this time. Thanks for today's card go to Jean Pierre, Edita and Ravindra.
