Interesting for philatelist, and general public. Pieces that reflect our history and our modern life. However, I've noticed that not many Mauritians go there. We should be interested in history that our postal services has encountered over the years of its existence. Today with modernisation, we rely much on emails, instant messaging to communicate, but we should never forget all the hard work of the postal services people, the human contact we had in the past. I remember when we were kids, the exicement we had when hearing the postman ringing and riding his bike, waiting for a letter comming from relatives overseas.
