According to her, NDH University is beautiful and large.

ShenZhen, China

YiJun sends me the postcard from ShenZhen. She tells me that ShenZhen is the 4^th largest city in China. According to her, this city is a coastal city with over 10 million people who enjoying a warm and wet climate. YiJun tells me that she is looking forward to visit Malaysia. I visited ShenZhen before in few years back and it is a nice place. I wish JiYun will enjoy her trip at Malaysia next time.

The postcard that YiJun sends me is very “Chinese” as it shows the traditional way of the advertisement of the beauty products of the women in the old days. I think it is around the period of 20s or 30s. I think it is interesting and I like it.

With all these Chinese cards I received, I would like to thank to YiJun, Fany and Fei-Hsuan again. THANK YOU / 谢谢!!!
