Chinese Year of The Pig
September 18th, start of the Chinese New Year. They have the year of the Pig, see my earlier writing and very nice Mini Sheet of Canada. Now a lot of states give issues of stamps, or CTO’s or cinderella’s to celebrate this new year. Also Indonesia will issue some stamps for this Pig Year. However they will not show a pig because in Islamitic lands they find pigs unclean. Now they have a lot of Chinese people in Indonesia, even celebrate the New Year of the Chinese since 2000 as a national holyday. But why stamps for the year of the pig if there is no pig involved? Hope there is a rooster (some like this picture) in that issue, could be, not? Looking forward.
