A summer encounter

それで、Slowlyで手紙を送ってから1週間後、彼は私に会うように言いました...

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.

I even woke up as early as 5am in the morning, to reply his letter, so that we could utilize every hour of the day, and make 2 cycles within the 24 hours!

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

彼らは自分の文化的アイデンティティ、つまり私の考え方や生活様式を理解する手助けもしてくれました。私はサンパウロ出身の3世代目のニケイです。

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.

このようにして、2,000キロ離れた場所にいる、Slowlyで私に手紙を書いてくれた全く見知らぬこの女の子が、私の毎日の生活の大きな部分になりました。

ロシアでは自分を理解してくれて、恐れずに自由に話せる人を見つけるのがとても難しいんです！

I want to share some glimpses of my new found friendship, thanks to this wonderful app.
