Just noticed this part of the forum. I live in Munich, Germany since 1976. Before that I lived in Thailand and Iran. I have been collecting stamps since I was a kid in the early Sixties. Most of my stamps are German, followed by US, Swiss, Iranian, Austrian and Thai stamps. These are basically the countries I prefer although I keep other stamps as well.

I collect mostly used stamps. Later on, I would like to trade stamps with people from around the world, although I will need another couple of weeks (at least 10) to get my stamp collection organized.

Regards,

George

Hello Geroge,

What a pleasure to have you here. And I get to be the first to welcome you!

I lived in England for several years and got to visit Germany a few times - It is beautiful!

Hope you enjoy the good company here.
When you get your 40 posts in and are eligible to do trading, I sure will be interested.

Take care,

Welcome George. It looks like I'll also be looking forward to you being 'trade qualified' and, understanding full-well the need to get organized.

Welcome George

About two years ago I was in the same "boat" as you are now. I have since met some great friends to trade with. I'm still not as organized as I'd like to be but I'm getting there.

Yahooo ! Someone from Munich.



We have a member from one of my favourite cities !

A special welcome is in order.
I didn't know they had Stamp Collectors !

But they do have nice Post Boxes...mostly custard coloured !


Some in scenic locations !

...and some not.

And if you collect ATM's, even those machines are like custard !
and they start this interesting collecting area at a very young age in Munich !



As are the Bicycles of the Post persons...



...and the Express mail vans....



Yes, they all look like Custard !
But the food is great !

Currywurst !

....Schnitzel !

...Tuna Steak in Parma Ham

and......

...Schweinhaxn, KartoffelKnudel and sauerkraut ! {nice T-Shirt, I've seen that before somewhere?}

If you get boar-d whilst eating, take a look at the decor.



Yes, you get REAL Bavarian hospitality in Munich...



...and if you are there at the right time of the year you can always pop along to the



...and have yourself a beer



...and an oversize Bagel thingy



Or you can go sightseeing to the City centre



and buy some unusual veggies in the Viktuelienmarkt



But if you walk too much and come upon a Red Post Box, you must be in the east !



So get that train back to the centre and visit the Hauptbahnhof. It makes a three-storey shopping centre look like a Corner Deli...and it's even got a Stamp Shop !



But if you cannot find it because of the masses of crazy tourists [and Germans], then just nip on down to your local post office and get all your Philatelic Goodies from that Custard-coloured stamp shop !



Yes, anyone from Munich is welcome here....even Stamp Collectors !

Londonbus1.....Proste !

Now, that sure is some welcome. I don't even need to walk outside anymore, I guess I can stay right here and Londonbus is going to show me everything. Really nice pics.

It will still take quite a while until I have an overview of my stamp collection. I inherited a collection from my father and got another one from a person not interested in stamps anymore. There is quite some work in getting those 3 collections sorted out.

I sure prefer the hospitality of your forum here to all the German ones - although German stamp collector forums are a lot friendlier than many others. Still, nothing like you guys here. Psst .. I guess most of you know anyway - many Europeans are kinda rude ...

Regards,

George

Thanks George !
I took the pics last September when I visited a friend and her family. I hadn't been to Munich for almost 20 years, so it was a great trip. Especially planned to take in 'The Fest' which I had never been to previously.
And this May, they are coming to visit me.
I will certainly go back to Munich in the near future....I look forward to it already !
