I've always wanted to do the penpal thing. What about you?
I used to have letter writing friends but they've fallen away and now I'm not even particularly good at answering email:( This does seem like fun though.

I still have occasional contact through Facebook with a penpal I got back in the 4th grade, from Jamaica. But back then ... that was kinda our social media! lol
ReplyDeleteI once had several penpals, and even met one in person. Golden days.
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then I get a notion to send a few paper letters, just to shake up the recipients' day, but posting letters is no longer casual. The nearest mail box is a 15 minute walk (and only collects once every other day or some reduced schedule). The nearest actual post office to obtain some stamps is an hour's walk.
Faced with this effort, I then remember why I used "The Letter Exchange" magazine to connect with strangers; none of my family or friends would ever write back. I'd send a letter and receive a phone call. Any historian assembling my memoirs will be frustrated at the one way record.
Murray Lindsay The most difficult part of mailing stuff, for me, is getting the stamps. We have a superbox so there is a out going mail slot in each clump of mail/parcel service and the superboxes are ~one block from any house.
ReplyDeleteThe only pen pal I have ever had was my late great uncle whom I have never met.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Junior high, I had 2 Japanese penpals, one named Naoko Kushibiki, ans the other was Shoko Murayama. They were much more dedicated to timely responses than I could ever hope to be, but I would faithfully reply. We exchanged tons of cultural items; I still have some of them somewhere. Naoko introduced me to the wild and wacky world of Japanese metal music, and I introduced her to Aerosmith. This would have been ... I guess about 1990 or so, give-or-take.
