do you or did you have a PENPAL?

I used to have penpal who's from England, she's a filipina-brit and my father knew them because their work was based there in UK. She's the one who wrote first, and I was kinda shocked of her beauty then, I was still in high school that time and was kind of naughty also. But I do try to respond at her letters also, with a little bit of intimidation!;) But when my father came home, our communications stopped also. I guess we never were used to writing letters then, but I think it was also a good experience then!;)

when i was twelve i had one in Florida and it felt so exotic lol as with the way of things we lost contact in a few years but i would certainly recoment it to a child, blessed be

When I was young I had 2-3 penpal. One was from France. After that I had one from Toronto who is the province next to mine and after that the daughter of my father cousin was my penpal for maybe 1-2 year. I think that with internet it,s easier to have a good long distance friendship because you can write to each other every day

i have always loved to have penpals all over the world and during my school years i had many penpals. one in argentina 2 in tajikistan but my longest and closest friendship was with my penpal in iraq. after the war there our correspondence stopped but last year i thought and tried to find the track of her again and sent her a letter on her same address, wishing it would reach her. AND fortunately it did!!!:D though we don't write letters now but i have got her email address and we corresponde through internet today. it's really great!!:) i lost track of all of my other penpals but still i fanticize of sending them a letter someday on there old address and see how it turns out to be.. other than her, there r some internet friends of mine who ask for postal address to corresponde as the idea is very romantic(LOL) so still in the age of email i have got a few penpals too:)it's so wonderful to wait someone's letter in the old fashion way;)

when i was about ten in my class we each had a penpal from overseas. i remember it was awkward and i wrote the most random things. i liked it though. i want another one

Letter writing was one of the most commonly done during my high school years too. And yes! I had also experienced that too. But that was just around the campus, among some schoolmates and some crushes and admirers as well. Well, i'm not quite sure if you take that as Penpal or just simply a letter writing. If what you meant here would be having a Penpal in a far away place, no, I haven't tried that yet. With the modern technologies we have right now, I don't think Penpal is still suitable. Well, yes! There are still people who are still communicating and not have seen each other yet, but it's no longer through the Penpal way. Mostly, it's through the internet already and even texting or SMS messaging. Hence, since I have not yet experienced that, I think I would not want to do it anymore because if I would still make Penpals, I would be among the list of the obsolete or old people who don't know how to use the internet. lol. PEacE! :)

umm penpal requires effort and at the modern world today i dont think people are into this anymore hehe

i used to have penpals too, but you know the internet is the only way now... letters seem so difficult to do. I had a penpal from Holland once many years ago, and then she became my girlfriend! I visited her and she visiyted me... it was nice but then we had to go back to our own countries :(

Yes we used to do that. The school encouraged it for helping with our language learning and letter writing skills. I think it is such a shme that it is fading away. Emails are good and quick, but you still can't beat the feeling of getting a good old fashioned letter delivered through your letterbox.

I guess in this cyber-age, penpals have given way to ePals! Anyway, coming back to your original question, yes I still do have penapals and it is a lot of fun. Although finding penpals that'll write to you regularly tests your patience, but I believe that you have to have patience and the right person just comes your way. As a matter of fact I've got about 3 people whom I've met online and never in person but know them as well as anyone around me (or assume I do) With one of them I even make phone calls and that is a lot of fun too (but it eats into my pocket money... )

recommend you a good penpals find community www.lehere.com, it is safe and free

yes i had some few years ago when i was a teenager.not anymore now.only the friends i got through the internet talking through messenger or through the forums

i had tons of penpals in one point of my life, when we first got the internet back when i was in high school. but then we stopped keeping in touch, maybe due to our busy lives and such. now i still keep in touch via email whenever i can, with a few friends that i know from the net when i was still studying.
