04.08.2008, this was a busy day for Thai philatelists, Thai Post issued 3 sets stamps on this day. For me, I was so happy that 4 FDCs reached to me together.

India Aldabra Giant Tortoise FDC
250 years old. It's a legend. If the description of Adwaitya is true, it would be the oldest creatures of modern times.

Canada British Columbia's 150th Anniversary FDC
Canada Post made too many machine postmarks on this FDC, but they still forgot to cancel the left two stamps. BTW, the illustration of this FDC is very special. Could you see James Douglas Map?

Thailand 125th Anniversary of Thai Postal Services FDCs (2nd Seiries)
This series is very interesting. I think we should give it another name "Thai Postal Services' Olden Day and Present Day".

Poland Beijing 2008 Olympic Games FDC
Polish Post really did a good job. They know Chinese likes number "8", so you could find many "8" on this FDC. BTW, I received this FDC on 14th Aug. and Polish athletes won their first gold and silver medal on 15th Aug. Is that a coincidence? This FDC brought the good luck for them, lol

Estonia Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Sheetlet FDC
After Olympic Games, I have realized why Eesti Post uses Discobolus' feature for this set. It's for Gerd Kanter, their only gold medalist in 2008 Olympic Games. lol!

Latvia Beijing 2008 Olympic Games FDC
I have received FDCs from all of the Baltic states about 2008 Olympic Games. Latvian athletes did the best job in Baltic states, they have won 1 gold medal, 1 silver medal and 1 bronze medal this time. BTW, Latvia Post has used new type registered label (barcode). So Finland Post needn't add a big label on it when they transit it.

Philippines Beijing 2008 Olympic Games FDC
This set should be issued on 08-08-08, but my friend said this FDC was sold on 20-08-08, he didn't add anymore stamps to send this FDC by registered mail, that's meaning Philippine FDC's postage is valid for a long time after issue day.

Russia Nicholas I FDC

The minisheet is more beautiful than the single stamp. it has a special printing technique on peacock's ocelli, but I don't know its name. Who knows?
