2003 : Mianyang Asian Philatelic Exhibition, China 中国绵阳亚展

2003 亚洲邮展在中国绵阳市举行。 这一次的邮展我当个助理征集员,所以马来西亚共有2位征集员出席是次邮展。还没去绵阳之前,对于这城市还的确有点陌生,但是名字好记,就当“绵羊”来念吧! 当年马来西亚还没有直航的班机到成都,我还得飞到泰国曼谷转机。绵阳也没有机场,到了成都,还需2个多的车程才抵达绵阳,真是一个辗转的旅程。来到绵阳,真是个惊喜,不是我想象中的一个小城市 ,原来绵阳市貌和世界各大城市没两样,高楼处处,百货商场人潮热络。2008 年汶川地震,从新闻中再次让我听到绵阳这一个熟悉的·名字,绵阳也是其中的一个地震重灾区,心里在想,当年经过的一些景物是否安好?

2003 FIAP Exhibition was held in Mianyang, China, I was an Assistant Commissioner. I had NOT heard of the name MianYang, nevertheless, the city name "MianYang" is easy to be remembered in Chinese, simply, it has the same pronunciation as a sheep. There is no airport in MianYang, I had to take a transfer flight from Bangkok to Chengdu, then by land transport to reach MianYang. MianYang is a large city with modern look, tall buildings and supermarkets.  The name MianYang flashed again on the Television Screen during the 2008 sichuan earthquake, the name was so familiar, Mianyang was an earthquake badly affected region, I was thinking, How were the people and the places I had visited once before ?
