A lovely block of four stamps of Shanghai Expo 2010 (2007-31, 2-1 and 2-2) was used. Each stamp come with a face value of 1.20 Yuan. Therefore, 4.80 Yuan was paid for the postage. It was sent from Fujian Xiamen Lujiang (Shoutou) 3 on 12.4.2009. Very clear and nice postmark... it is read as 福建 厦门 鹭江(收投) 3 the Chinese. "Shoutou" means receiving by hand.
