Sunday Stamps on mainland Asia

I had quite a lot to choose from for this week's Asian theme but settled for stamps from just two countries.

I imagine we all know something about the first country - but I have no information on the stamps.
Vietnam 
I've shown a flower stamp from this country before.
Mongolia 
Four of these show animals native to the country and the fourth commemorates the 1960 Rome Olympics.

    Like most children I collected stamps when I was small and still have an interest.

    Mattias; I've had stamps since I was in short trousers but haven't been an avid collector. Last went out of my way during the 1960s/70s until stirred up by Sunday Stamps.

    Very unusual countries! Vietnam I have come to realise is now more accessible but Mongolia still seems as remote as ever.

    I am watching the evolution of the new blog setup. You now have a sidebar, but what I find interesting and useful is that your comments seem to be distinguished from visitors'. I like that feature.

    oh, glad to see someone else has Mongolia for today! Means I have got it right and fitting in "Mainland Asia"

    Great choice of stamps...always nice to see rarities around!

    Btw, I also like this feature of your comments being distinguished from the visitors'. Can you share the secret widget please? :) Thanks!

    Sorry Ana, there's no secret widget that I know about. The distinguishing feature seems to be an integral part of Blogger's dynamic view template.
    You couldn't get much more mainland than Mongolia I think.
