It is difficult to keep a long-term pen pal relationship, that’s why I am very lucky.

Persahabatan kami akan segera genap setahun. Dan setiap hari aku terus mendapatkan teman baru!

Sama seperti banyak warga negara perempuan lainnya di negara dunia urutan ketiga ini, aku dihukum bagai melakukan tindakan yang sangat memalukan.

We stayed few days together in Zagreb, discovering the city, sharing experiences and adventures...

A summer encounter

So, after a week of sending letters in Slowly, he asked me to meet up...

Some people go to me to learn some French, and I teach them French with great pleasure!

I didn't expect that anyone will ever talk to me like my first pen pal wrote me.

Aku bahkan bangun lebih awal pada jam 5 pagi, untuk membalas suratnya, jadi kami bisa berhemat waktu setiap harinya...

I related so much since I just had a "what if" moment then and was feeling rather melancholic.

They have helped me to understand about my own cultural identity – my way of thinking, my way of life. I am a third-generation Nikkei from São Paulo.

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