TALK in ENGLISH - Visitors Corner - 2024

Hello
I’ve been clearing out and found these stamps from my last visit to the Netherlands in 2014.
Can you tell me if they are still valid, please?

Hi @xxxxyyyyzzzz, according to PostNL these stamps are still valid.

There’s 2 Irene from the Netherlands active in the forum (you can search by name in forum users).
Hopefully either @Irene0604 or @irenejulia are the one you’re looking for!

Hello Dutch friends, I spotted this on the English language Dutch news website I’ve been following since I lived in the Netherlands for a period 10 years ago: The postman rings...42 years later - DutchNews.nl

Enjoy!

I am going to visit Philipsburg, St. Maarten (Dutch side) for a day in November and I need some tips.
Could you tell me

  1. How much is the internationsl postage from there?
  2. Do shops sell stamps or can you find stamps only in the post office?
  3. Do you find mailboxes easily?

Sint Maarten has its own stamps/ postal services.
These stamps are not issued by Post.NL (The Netherlands)

Good morning :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been missing @veke250 - does anyone know why she hasn’t been here for a few weeks?
Feel free to send me a PM if you don’t want to write about it publicly here.

Hi there! I’m going to be in Utrecht with work colleagues tomorrow and Saturday morning. I know it’s very last minute but can anyone recommend a shop for cute postcards or a (cocktail) bar for after dinner drinks? Any tips are highly appreciated!

Bedankt!

The art gallery “Catch Projecten” near the Domplein is my favourite, lots of Inkognito cards, art and unusual Utrecht views. Don’t miss it! :smiley:

Hi Lisa,

I don’t know a nice bar, but I do know where you can find some nice shops.

I guess you will spend most of your time in the city center, so I recommend:

Like @Cassisia I strongly recommend that you visit Catch Projecten.

(Only) If you have time for a longer walk;
It all starts with a postcard webshop - It all starts with a Postcard (webshopapp.com)

I will be at work in Utrecht tomorrow :slight_smile:

Have a good time in Utrecht.

Update: I had a great time in Utrecht and I absolutely love the city! We did a walking craft beer tour in the snow :cold_face:

and had lovely weather on Saturday.

Unfortunately I did not have enough time to go to all of your recommended locations, but they’re all saved in my Utrecht map and I’ll definitely go back there around Easter! Thanks again! Have a lovely Sunday!

Good morning does anybody know the user named Amy? She has a three-year-old niece and lives in a small village near Amsterdam . Postcrossing cannot find the id of her card . she printed the text and the card has a sticker of a ladybug :lady_beetle: a bee :honeybee: a butterfly :butterfly: and a flamingo :flamingo:

Hello, thank you soooo much for replying and giving me the information. If it is her she probably forgot to put the ID I only send official cards . I will ask her if she sent one . I do not participate in round robins etc but it is worth a shot phoebe
