I thought I would work south this week down towards Australia ready for next week's theme at Viridian's Sunday Stamps.
First a collection of stamps from a country we all know.
 |
| Japan | |
Then a stamp from a country that became a Crown Colony in 1946..
 |
| North Borneo |
North Borneo changed its name to Sabah in 1964 and is now part of Malaysia.
My final stamps are from an island at the south of the Malayan peninsula, formerly part of the Straits Settlements.
 |
| Singapore |
Singapore was part of the Malaysian Federation from 1963-1965. It's now an independent republic within the British Commonwealth.

Hi Bob .. it's fascinating to be reminded of historical facts .. and to learn a little more about different countries - love these posts - thanks Hilary
I started out to do a post on Singapore stamps but changed my mind.
Japanese stamps are always so pretty. Nice trip through geography and history, look forward to you casting anchor next week.
A nice journey through the area. I have only a couple of nice stamps from Singapore but decided to save them for another time.
Thank you for participating! Always neat stamps.
Hey Bob!
I got an award for you, please stop by to pick it up.
