Food On Stamps!

Hi Tevokkia - does that mean "olives, salsa & chips"? I had look in a bit, but didn't find any. Good luck.

Following sweets collection in the previous page, here I am adding one more chocolate! These stamps are designed by Italian graphic designer, under the theme of "Switzerland through the eyes of foreign artists". That is very Swiss attitude, I think.

Is Soba become a part of international vocabulary in the near future? This strange denomination ¥18 (= £0.11 or $0.14 from today's exchange rate) came from the "balance" figure to make inland usage stamp for oversea.
