The world's first three-dimensional postage stamps were issued by the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, way back in the Sixties. The 3D effect was provided by a ridged plastic overlay and the stamps are still traded on eBay.
Great to hear from you. Will definitely check out your site.
Yes, I have been planning a trip to Bhutan for a year - but I sent an email to a classmate of mine who is a Government official and I have never heard back from him.
In fact, I sent him a follow-up email a few weeks later - but never got an acknowledgement or a reply.
I offered to come to Bhutan and photograph the kingdom for the Bhutanese tourism authorities. As a Darjeeling (North Point) student, I have a great affinity with the kingdom and I would consider it a great honour to come there to capture the essence of Bhutan with my cameras.
It would be great if you could give me some advice on this matter.
