A direct swap from China.  The card is a printing from the 1920's of a women in a traditional costume, called a cheongsam.  The sender writes " I like cheongsam very much because it shows the figure of Chinese girl perfectly, don't you think so?" 

It is a beautiful card.

Ukraine

A direct swap card from Ukraine.  The card is almost entirely made up of golden Tryzub, or the Ukrainian trident symbol that you can see on their flag or coat of arms on a blue background.  The card has only one word on the front ПРИЄДНУЙСЯ! which apparently translates as "JOIN!"  This was sent during the April/May situation in Ukraine.
