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

I remember back in 80's I used to write real mail made out of paper & pen with stamps and such.

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.

Each letter were songs, stories, interesting questions and interesting nicknames developed into a beautiful friendship.

It's like finding Atlantis! I found a lot of nice people who share the same interests as I am.

But here, I can get a new friend everyday.

She took a plane and drove 200km by car to see... me? Just... me?

When I listened to her sweet, soft voice speaking lovely Persian words to me from across the world, it melted my heart.

Він на 60 років старший за мене, і все ж ми можемо знайти речі, з якими можемо погодитися і поділитися.

I was skeptical at first. I even considered myself a person no one wanted to know.

It both helps me improve my language skills and the communication skills that I lack in real life.
