The mere mention of pen-pals makes me feel nostalgic. When I was in high school, I had a lot of them. I found them in pen-pal sections of some educational magazines. A couple of them used to write beautifully and one was the finest calligrapher I’ve ever known. My daily waiting for letters via postal mail was a ritual. I was in a village and the mail was not delivered on a daily basis. I still have hundreds of letters I got from all of them. I’m talking about the early 1990’s. One of them is still friends with me, but now we message or call each other :) > pen-pal websites where people exchange hand-written letters just for fun? I don't think it can be practiced anymore.
