I started making penpals from other countries since i was in junior high, now i have 3 penpals stay in touch. I thought i want to practice my english at first, but then i found that the friendship is the best part of it.
I know many people may think that write letters is stupid, cuz everyone use e-mail or online chat today. But i really like write letter to friends, i think writing is more real than just typing. It can improve the friendships. And when the New year & Christmas r coming, we'll exchange cards to each other.
My penpals r two guys from Germany and Italy, and a girl from England. They r very friendly and we talk about our life, school, music, festivals of our own country and so on, therefore i have learned many cultures from them. It's amazing!
I hope someday I could visit them, that must be wonderful :)
