Just as I made sending letters through Slowly a fundamental part of my routine, I also learned to listen to my penpals.

Why would I want to do that, when I have instant messaging? When there are much faster, quicker ways to contact people than wait hours?

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

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.

Наступного місяця ми нарешті подолаємо 320 км, які стоять між нами, і ми нарешті зустрінемося.

Remembering a song by, maybe, the biggest singer from Argentina, José Larralde, he said: "I’ve been through all the world, in the same place..."

And since that, we never contacted each other because he doesn't want to give me a false hope.

He came to my city and we met and spent one of the best weeks in my life. He became one of my best friends.

I love the idea of this app and its creation is commendable.

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

Мабуть, я використала у цьому всю свою удачу. Я зустріла дивовижну людину. Читаючи його листи, я почуваюся, ніби я з ним поряд в Іспанії.

Till now we haven't exchanged numbers or want to connect on some other apps. Honestly we are happy writing letters to each other and not planning to change that.
