Eventually I got a card written in Chinese :D though it's in simplified Chinese characters (we use traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong) I can still read it and feel the warmth from my mother country. Thanks Silence for suggesting the private swap, I'd love to get a card from Beijing. :) Last year, I thought about going to Beijing to see the Olympics, but I was too busy that time and unable to free myself from work. However, I think we made a great Olympic game, I got stunned by the magnificent opening ceremony, even through through the television. :D
