Request

To my cover-exchanging friends, please try as much as possible to
(1) WRITE THE ADDRESSES USING YOUR OWN HANDWRITING
as these give a more personal touch to the cover
(2) PLEASE DO NOT USE TAPE OR STICKERS ON THE REVERSE;
the Philippine postal service damages the cover with scribbling that highly devalues the aesthetic value of the cover, which is what I am after
(3) PLEASE TRY TO USE COMPLETE SETS
or at least same themes when sending covers, but it is okay if this is not possible or if this would be expensive, and
(4) PLEASE USE SMALL ENVELOPES,
not too small, but maybe around 4"x6" or something like that; big envelopes are not very attractive unless they have many stamps.
Thank you!

中国 - France Joint Issue



Here is a nice cover from Guangzhou in southern China with the 1998 2v France-China joint issue set.

The French design, on the left, shows the Louvre, and the Chinese design, on the right, shows the Palace museum, located at Tiananmen Square. At the moment, the Palace museum is still being renovated and this is also the reason why I was not able to visit the museum when I was in Beijing in October last year.
