While I was feeling stuck on the traffic of instant messages, SLOWLY showed me clearly another vibrant dimension of networking with people.

Simply put, it is like a library where I can read the whole world.

And to finish this letter, I propose a heartfelt toast to the health of the entire Slowly Community!!!!

We grew up in a digital world so to speak. But I always feel like I was born in the wrong era!

Instead of just writing as a story, we made it look like an interview in a reality show. Hope you like it!

Last chapter: A transnational friendship

My Asian friends gave me a vision of their country that I certainly wouldn't have given a “google”… My friends from Egypt made me...

I've never had an easy time making friends, feeling much more comfortable talking through the computer screen or cell phone.

Using technology for such a beautiful thing is something fantastic.

I can discuss Sheakespeare with a British, Volteire with French, Mauppassant…

I didn't know I was about to meet someone new to talk on a deeper level about everything.
