Year of the Ox: A Cow and Bull Story
Not so long ago, we talked about the collaboration between Postcrossing and the Singapore Philatelic Museum. Their “A rat's tale” exhibit to celebrate the Year of the Rat received many postcards about that theme from Postcrossing members related, which were then displayed as part of the exhibit.
This collaboration was so successful that we repeated the request to all Postcrossers for this years “A Cow and Bull Story” show to celebrate the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Ox. And once again, many were very enthusiastic and contributed with postcards to exhibit.
Mishelle at the Museum sent us some photos to share with everyone:
This exhibit will be on display till August, so if you have the chance to be in Singapore, be sure to pay a visit!

Shame I didn't see about this, but I will join in next time ^_^
I receive a postcard, great. I scan the postcard, which implies using two different computers (since my old scanner won't work in the newest computer) and transferring the scans from one computer to another by an USB memory. I register the postcard, and guess what, the sender had already uploaded it. Saves me as lot of work, huh?
Guess that from now on I'll have to register my postcards, check whether the sender has already uploaded it or not, then go to the other computer, scan the postcard, back to the new computer, and hope that the sender hasn't scanned and uploaded the postcard in the while.
Or also I can be a complete jerk and ask in my profile that the senders won't upload the postcards they are sending *me*.
And about the cow/ ox exposition, it would be so nice if there weren't mutilated parts of the animals (i.e. horns). Postcards and art are admirable but exhibiting slaughterhouse pieces is disgusting. I truly hope they're fake.

The cow head is a bit disturbing..
