Tak jak inne obywatelki krajów trzeciego świata, byłam traktowana, jakbym popełniła jakiś haniebny czyn.

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

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

Un'amicizia davvero vera, che non so se sarei in grado di incontrare di persona, anche se parliamo ogni giorno.

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 have made two best friends that I will never forget nor lose contact with.

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.

This girl two thousand kilometers away, who just wrote to me, a total stranger, here on Slowly, became such a big part of my everyday life.

In Russia it is so hard to find someone, who could understand you and you would talk freely, without any fears!

...nem ousei escrever para pessoas que moravam no Brasil, mas logo conversei com os russos, o que é bom para mim porque não vejo barreiras à amizade.

Thinking about how we probably would never meet in any other occasions, if not for Slowly, makes me wonder how did fate set this up?

I took off my mask and for the first time I ever tried to be honest.
