July 15 was really a busy day to me. Both Hong Kong Post and Macau issued stamps on that day. Hong Kong has the "Biodiversity" stamp issue, while Macau issued the "St. Augustine's Square". This Macau stamp issue was designed by Mr. Lai Ieng. I very much like the stamps designed by him. So, I did not mind to spent some time to visit Macau and sent a FDC to myself. Hope he would continue to design more and more beautiful stamps.
