Hi again!!
I'm back! Wow, I just couldn't imagine my post would get such a good number of replies! Thank you all! I'm glad there are so many friendly people living on our planet!:))
Sorry, I was a bit busy with my studies last month. Besides, my penpal from Ireland came here to my city and I've tried out to be a guide!:) Seems like my friend enjoyed the excursion!
Well, here's my e-mail: <email address removed by mod.> You can write to me directly, it'll be great to hear from you all!

Conoro, you know, there is some sense in what you've just written, but TO BECOME a friend doesn't mean just to say:"Hi! You are cute, let's be friends!" No way. 

Hey, I've already found many good friends and it had nothing to do with my picture! I've got 250 postal letters from people who read my ad in a real magazine where they could't see my picture. I have no aim to show off or something, I used such an opportunity to place my picture here at this site just to add something interesting to my post. Gosh, it was a very old picture of mine and not the best one, just a simple photo!! I don't wear bikini on it, I don't show my physical advantages or anything else... And finally, I have a boyfriend and I'm not interested in those who "treat me by my face" as you said. But why did you become so angry? I just didn't catch the reason of your message. ...

Anyway thanks for the expressing your point of view!

All the best

        Hi Natasha,

      I'm MC from TURKEY.  You said  you are interested in learning countries and cultures, i suggest you to add Turkey for your travelling

plans. Besides, i think you will shine more brillant under the Sun in Turkey   

Wow, Nataliya! Do you associate with all the 250 and probably even more persons who sent you the letters? Cool!

Conoro, but what do you want with people? Images often enliven threads because many humans like looking at pictures, and this one is not an exception. Don't envy Natasha. I think even if she hadn't posted her picture, the thread would have got lots of replies anyway. Perhaps, not so many, but it would have got enough, I'm sure. For fairness' pity I must say, though, that I suppose you're right to some extent. Some persons surely left an answer here because of the reason you said about. At least, one should take into consideration such a possibility.

Ruslana, actually I've been penpalling for about 7 years(4 years with the Russians and the last 3 years with foreigners) - and I prefer to exchange postal mail rather than e-mails because it's more personal and exciting! I'll never be able to count all of the penpals I have, there are just a lot of them: from 45 different countries, and for example, 30 from the USA, 20 from Germany etc. ..You may wonder how much time it takes to write to all of them Usually I write 3-4 letters a week, depending on my free time. But considering the fact that most of my penpals send me letters once in 1-2 months, it's not such a great problem to have this number of pals. I've already collected a lot of beautiful postcards and stamps from all over the world, learned about different cultures, and so on. I love penpalling, it's a part of my life!!)

Do you have many penpals? 

Hi Natasha, and greetings for all the pals!

Personally I think that penpalling is just another hobby like many others. I never even try doing that. Because I already have a lot of interests and hobby’s,

like collecting and listening music and movies, and well many others...  Lack of time is the main problem, for me - remember - Time is money

But, the main reason for not doing it it's just internet. I have VERY BAD experiences in meeting people from chat rooms and net.

May I ask you something Natasha?

Why are you always putting some pictures, like one with the cat? If it is yours, you have a very lovely CAT Natasha!

Also considering this pictures, yes I might say you are very beautiful and cute girl, but that's got nothing to do with learning English, although maybe it could be a reason for all this letters under you

Amazing, Nataliya! You impress me more and more! Let me take my hat off and bow! (I don't wear hats, though, but you understand what I mean. )

I have too few penpals in comparison with you. Only several persons from Russia and other countries.

Natasha, how long does it take a letter to reach the USA, for example?
