Do You Write?

Growing up in boarding school, we were so used to have penpal (or was it pen friend?) That time there was no such thing as email or mobile phone, so since we did not have much money to queue at the phone booths and call friends, we ended up writing letters.

It was fun though and very thrilled to wait for the reply every week. Of course if your pen friends were kind enough they will take the time to reply the letters you sent to them within a week.

I had a friend who wrote letters to a girl (or was it a boy) in Germany and they discussed a lot of things including World Cup..haha!

I wonder if people still write old-fashioned letters nowadays. It’s sad that we are losing the art of letter writing with the advanced technology of Instant messaging, Skype and email. Nothing can beats that scrimpy, hard to read handwriting of your old friend.
