Foreign Countries 42 Postmarks Collected During INDIPEX 2011

The much anticipated Indipex 2011 is over. It was my first visit to a World Philatelic Exhibition. I visited from the Second day(13th Feb) onwards and stayed till the end.
I purchased the passport book to take postmarks of all the participating countries and also took some postmarks in the book. However on the 14th, India post started selling Indipex 2011 common special covers for all days- I felt that it would be better to take country’s postmarks on these covers, would be a nice way to exhibit instead of taking on passport book. I ditched the passport book and started collecting postmarks on these covers, finally when completed - I had 42 covers with different postmarks excluding the India post cancellations. Bangladesh and Singapore had different postmarks for each day. Since the Singapore Post could not give postmarks of previous days , I took only one postmark on ‘Technology day’ . I could get all postmarks of Bangladesh except for the 1st day. Notably, they also had 2 postmarks on Gandhi - In Red and Green colours. However, the green was dated 10-02-2011 and the red was 13-02-2011 .
