I used all my luck in it, I guess. I've met an amazing person. While reading his letters, I feel like with him in Spain.

Ter muito tempo na minha van me permite responder bastante também, eu costumava ter muitos pen-pal diferentes, e isso era ótimo.

eu até acordei às 5 da manhã, para responder a sua carta, para que pudéssemos utilizar todas as horas do dia e fazer 2 ciclos dentro das 24 horas!

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.

I've found so many close and fantastic friendships here that trying to narrow it down to just one was impossible...
