Meeting A New Pen Pal
I highly recommend people who would like to get a pen pal to try International Pen Friends. The organization promotes the art of letters writing. Although now I seldom write, I do think this is a good way to get a pen pal.
I always anticipate receiving letters from my pen pals. The most touching moment of a pen pal relationship is giving and receiving gifts from each other. I have a pen pal who is a Norwegian. The Native American history really fascinated him but unfortunately he could not get a book called the Ishi, In Two words. This is a story about a Yahi man who was the only survivor from the massacre in his tribe.
I find that interesting to have pen pals from exotic areas like Pitairn Island, I believe many people would echo with me. As the most recent inhabitants there are the descendants of the HMAV Bounty, I am fascinated by the history and culture of the there.
People preferred to write letters as it was the best way to communicate, but nowadays people would rather choose to send emails. For example, three years ago I started to communicate online, like on Yahoo!, with people from every corner of the world who love exploring Pitcairn. That’s marvelous!
Sometimes we can meet some people living on Pitcairn Island on the Yahoo! Discussion board, but not too often as they are busy with their housework and handicrafts making. I got a few ‘online pen pals’ from the board and we discuss about the Island on the board and via email. Yahoo! groups do help if you want to meet people from different countries .
Yahoo! serves as a good platform for me to discuss Pitcairn history and culture with my pen pals. My pen pals and I have developed a strong bonding with each other despite the fact that I do not write to them very often. We share our thoughts on discussion board and we also write mails. Yahoo! group is good place for you to look for someone who share the same interest with you.
The website-Interpals also provides a good platform for us to meet new online pen pals. I knew my Japanese pen pal through this website and it is trustworthy. You can meet people around the globe.
How about Myspace and Facebook? Have you considered them as a way to meet new people? Some of you may aware of the safety problems of meeting new friends in such way. But I do recommend you to try it because you should grab every single chance to meet new people. You can take precaution by looking at someone’s profile before adding them as friends.
