I believe that I taught 'Merhaba' word at Turkish language to at least 30 people. It means hello.

Just like many other female citizen of third world country, I was treated like convicting any shameful act.

Я француз, який намагається дістатися Монголії на своєму жовтому фургоні. Я подорожую з листопада 2018 року, неймовірна подорож.

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

Without realizing, I got the “Serious writer” stamp for achieving 100 sent out letters...

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!

And I was able not only to befriend people from a different country than mine, which is Argentina, but also with some people who speak my same language, Spanish, and who are close to me, in near cities.

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