Stamp collectors, by our very nature, are people who are perhaps more attracted to nostalgic looking items.Thus recently when I was in ShangHai, this nostalgic looking postbox (信筒）caught my attention. I think the Chinese are still using such old-fashion postboxes. This post box is located at a fairly touristy location and not some old forgotten street. The post box denoted 3 collection timing (which is 1 more slot compared to Singapore Post):
1st Collection - 9:46
2nd Collection - 14:16
3rd Collection - 17: 46
Partly inspired by the postbox, I decided to mail to myself some letters from ShangHai. It took quite a while to reach my home, and the postage is actually more expensive compared to posting of international letters by SingPost. For memory sake I guess it is worth it.
