This time, it was to a person living in the same country.

We are celebrating our one year of friendship!

He’s halfway across the world and I feel closer to him than most people.

It was so fascinating to hear about the differences between the culture and structure of our lives.

While we often feel annoyed or anxious when people take forever to reply to our texts, on Slowly, taking forever is the point.

I received a letter, from Syria, not knowing then how much it would change my life the following year.

Letter to a Japanese Friend, Winter Solstice

I can be heard by whole the world. We all can be heard and listen to each other.

I am proud to say that my Mandarin has definitely improved, and I have been able to talk with teenagers from Senegal to Switzerland and Hong Kong.

Hij kwam naar mijn thuisstad, waar we samen één van de beste weken van m'n leven doorbrachten. Hij werd meteen m'n beste vriend!

I was so happy that I went around the house saying "I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JAPAN"

Ik heb een geweldige persoon ontmoet. Tijdens het lezen van zijn brieven waande ik met in Spanje met hem.
