Hi unleashdreamz, during my younger days I uses to write letter s to my dad who working outstation. My parent would back to our hometown once or twice in a year. They normally came home before Chinese new year or in the middle of the year. Besides, I did have pen pals in Japan and Taiwan during my middle school days. It was really interesting and fun to correspond mutually during our spare time. I noticed that writing frequently could enhance our writing skills as well as the spelling. Nowadays I rarely write letters. Most of the time I prefer to send emails for it is more convenient and faster than that to send the paper letter. What’s more we can also save the spending of stamps and writing pads as well. posting and have a nice day.

I use to write alot of letters but with everyone using the computor its so much easier to chat or message-or even send them an email-even for special occassions you can send them a free on-line greetings card.Letters are really a thing of the past for me-no more looking for stamps[lol] happy mylotting

Yes, I do write letters to relatives and friends who have no access to the internet. But, to those who have, I seldom write letters , just keep in touch by emails.

My case is just like yours. I used to write long letters to my mom, but now I simply email or call my mom. It has been ages since I wrote a letter and now I find it very difficult and boring to write too. I simply do not feel like writing, I don't know why. Typing is easy for me and I prefer to type as much as I can but I feel very lazy to write. I guess its the fault of the internet or one may say that internet made life much easier. Have a nice day and happy mylotting :)
