it's nice to find friends from another country, especially through letters! (there's also other way if you dont want letters) it's so exciting

I have made some good connections, even with limited time available to participate. I have had a chance to learn more about places I may never get to visit. It reminds me that even with different cultures, there are common threads that bind us all together.
