Slowly showed me that you don't have to leave home to know the world, and people.

These days we were unable to stop exchanging letters, I learned a lot about where he lives, his culture and his people even from the smallest thing.

We have what we were both looking for: an honest friendship, full of care, laughter and attention...

bin ich sogar morgens um 5 Uhr aufgewacht, nur um seinen Brief zu beantworten, damit wir jede Stunde des Tages nutzen konnten und so 2 Zyklen innerhalb 24 Stunden erreichen konnten!

Ich habe zwei beste Freunde gefunden, die ich nie vergessen oder den Kontakt verlieren werde.

Sie haben mir auch geholfen, meine eigene kulturelle Identität zu verstehen – meine Denkweise, meine Lebensweise. Ich bin ein Nikkei dritter Generation aus São Paulo.

Later on, I met three penpals who became very important in my life.

I was anxious and nervous in the beginning, but now I am willing to trust this friendship with all of my heart.
