Surprisingly, had almost nothing in common with me, yet our letters were so long that it took us days to read and write an answer.

Things go much differently for now. The google translator is not my friend anymore at least xD

The first effect of speaking with so many different people was to increase my speaking skills - I can say that I learned my English through letters.

There are now contacts I write once a week, some that vanish again and most important are the 2 or 3 persons I really feel connected to.

The total count of our letters? Currently, 127 — and after manually counting all of these, I was surprised too.
