I just 'met' my old pen-friend from brazil on the msn. We started to write to each other long time back when there's this pen-friend hype. I remembered the struggle I went through to write letters in english.. sometimes I dragged my older cousin to help me form my sentences..
I had a few pen friends back then, from hongkong, africa (can't remember the exact location), brazil and malta. this guy from africa asked me to send him an earphone and I obliged! the next item he asked me was more expensive, difficult to get and send, I didn't send what he asked and that's the end of the friendship.. =p I went to the post office regularly, had the mail weighed, purchased a stamp and sent it.. but I lost those activites upon my high school graduation. although we exchanged email addresses, it's just different. sending news and updates via email is definitely faster but there's no more fun.. no stamps to collect, no excitement in seeing the letters in the real mailbox, no gift exchange.. and email is so fast I don't know what else to write.. =) but don't ask me to write snail mail nowadays.. too lazy to do it.
btw, I've confirmed with my friend that the brazilian restaurant I just tried is an authentic one.. =)
