World Stamp Exhibition

So, hi everyone! On August 5th 2017, I went to World Stamp Exhibition that held in Bandung, specifically in Trans Studio Mall. I went there because one of my junior asked me to come to a Postcrossing Meet Up in there. I was soooo happy to go to the exhibition and the meet up event, because it was amazing! You can see a lot of stamps and postal things from other countries and also make some new friends from the meet up event hahaha. I also surprised because there were a lot of people came to the event and they were so enthusiast to see and buy some postal things. I can't believe that there're still a lot of people who care about those postal things in this modern era, hehe.


As you can see, this was the queue for the daily stamps booth. Many people came to get the daily stamps. I didn't get the daily stamps because the queue was that long :(


And yeah, this was in front of the booth. You can see that it was that crowded hahaha. After passing the booth, I went to the meet up location. There were a lot of people in there and they were exchanging their cards to be signed by each other. There were also a lot of foreigners came to the meet up event.

After that, I went to the exhibition area. There were a lot of stamps booth from other countries and you could buy some stamps or postal things in this area. I was amazed at the first because finally I can get some stamps from the rare countries lol and those stamps are soooo pretty. I was kind of confused, which stamps that I should buy lol. Oh, the sellers were originally from their countries too, so you could interact with them to improve your language skill, haha!




Stamps from North Korea, one of those rare countries! (for me haha)



I was really happy to see a lot of pretty postal things and meet another postcrosser from other countries! Glad that actually, there are still a lot of people who love postal things too (yes, I saw a lot of people buy stamps and other postal things!). Oh, I got a lot of stuffs from the meet up event and also I bought some stamps from the booth. I was that happy that day!


Those are the things that I got from the meet up event and some stamps that I bought. I was happy because I could get those things for free! Hahaha (for some stuffs, of course). Hope that later I can join this kind of event again and don't forget to save some money first hahaha!
