Pen Pals Snail Mail or Email

Salam and Hey all~ 
Some of the letters I received from my pen pals from Japan and Germany~

Now I would love to ramble about pen pals. 

I love having penpals around the world. to exchange letters, culture and thoughts. I really love it all. but one thing about it is that people doesn't seem to want to exchange letters anymore. I'm talking about actual letters or nowadays they called it snail mail... 

One thing I know is that with the new technologies nowadays, sending emails is so much convenient than snail mails. Call me old fashion or whatever, but for me, to exchange snail mail is the best. Reason being is that letters are more personal. You could know their handwriting. You could tell by writing to you, your pen pals really want to be a friend to you because he or she is willing to take some of their time to write, prepare and posting the letter manually. It actually shows their sincerity in befriending us. 

As for emails, we cannot tell whether that person is really sincere in being your friend or not because it is way too easy to just type ans send it. As long as you have internet connection, then your mail will be sent. that's all. Some of my pen pals just stop replying just like that. 

But by saying this, I didn't mean that those who used email are not sincere in being friends, but I'm just saying, from my point of view that the traditional way of sending letters are great. though it's late, but it's still exiting just to wait for the letter to arrive. You know what I mean? Some of the younger generations don't even know what is the function of stamps at all! It's so sad actually... so from this, we could see that the traditional way of sending letters are facing extinction. 

So... Whichever way you use, it's the same isn't it? What's important is for us to keep in touch.

All I want to say is that I prefer snail mail over emails~~~ ^^v

This is just my point of view. I didn't mean to hurt anybody or anything~ ^^;;

Having said that, anybody interested in being my pen pals? If you do, please send a letter to this address:
