While at school I was keen on having penfriends but met with no success. It took me this long to finally have the joy of interacting with so many round the globe.
I think I have so far interacted with users from the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Canada, India, Philippines, South Africa, and Africa.
I have not come across any one from Russia, the Middle East, Scandinavia. and a few other countries.

I noticed there is hardly any Russians here. The one with whom you were interacting may have left

@Sojourn There is also the issue of having common interests and that is the reason sometimes we do not interact with those who do not share our interest.

You are so right. I, also, wanted to have a pen pal when I was a child. And this is it!

I have added Africa but I do not remember being in touch with Israel. Yes Israel could be considered to be M East.

@JohnRoberts I think that the pen pal thing was more a girl´s activity.

Ave @allknowing! Here you have a romanian greeting you . We exchanged some comments before, I'm one MyLot month old . I wanted this too as a kid, met some other kids from other countries, but we couldn't keep in touch. MyLot makes it much easier, that's a cool thing indeed .

I am think that I am the only person from Scandinavia at the moment. There used to be someone from Norway, but that person disappeared a long time ago. I have also seen someone from Sweden, but not recently.
I have seen people from South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Tunesia, and maybe Morcocco, I am not sure about that.

@allknowing I think it is harder to keep track of the countries now that we don't have a membership list anymore. I think that there are some countries without any members, but I am not sure because some members don't visit the site very often.

I have interacted with you and did not notice your country. Glad that I can now add Denmark to my list.

There is a woman from Russia and one from Denmark on the site.
Africa is not a country, but a continent. I've seen members from South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria on the site.
The Middle East is represented by two members from Israel and one from Egypt.
I can't give you the names of these members because I don't know them by heart. I'm sure you'll find them now that you can look out for them.

There you go. Yes Africa is a continent The fact of the matter is we get to interact with those whose discussions we find interesting. Also I may have interacted with users from countries I have not listed but now on I will keep a watch.

I was thrilled when I started interacting around the globe on online sites ten years ago.
That the interaction is instantaneous is the icing on the cake.
It is 24/7 and that makes it so much more inviting.
I have seen some from Russia and Scandinavian countries here - siva
