When I'm in school I started pen friendships, I have lost friends from Suriname, Trinidad Tobago,Canada ,Mexico and so many countries. Now my age 72, I have forgotten those country names also. Due to change of Houses I lost most of those letters and gifts I have received etc etc. Now also once again that culture started.

What a rich experience to have pen friendships with people from around the world! It's a shame about the lost letters and gifts, but it's great that you're reconnecting with that culture. Cheers to new friendships!

@yugasini Moving so many times must have been quite a journey! It's great that you still have some photos of your pen friends. If you find the time to share those photos, it would be wonderful to see them. Cheers to the memories and to reconnecting with old friends!

I had a pen friend when I was a child but then I got busy in my studies that I hardly got time to exchange letters and ultimately lost him.

those were good old days....when we used to eagerly wait for the Postman to arrive at our doorsteps...I too had a pen-friend, but I think last I wrote to her was in 1999

Thanks for response, just like me some people want to start making pen friends, because we are bored online chatting. Waiting for a friend's letter is more thrilling now a days.
