I didn't get the chance to do the "new" thing that I had planned for yesterday. Although, I do no not always get to do the planned thing, it seems that something always comes my way. The other day I met a very nice woman from the UK by browsing through blogs. Before talking with her via e-mail I'd never met anyone from the UK. I did however, have a Japanese penpal for a short period of time in elementary school. Things are so different now than they were when I was a child. Back in the second or third grade I would have never imagined being able to meet someone simply by browsing a "blog". Of course, I also had no idea of what a blog was.
Talking with someone through e-mail may not be considered something "extraordinary". But, making a friend from a different country with only a few clicks most certainly is!
(Sorry this post is so boring, read Day 7, or other's for something a little more exciting. And, although it may be boring it's still nice to connect with someone you've never met.)

Awww you are soo sweet. I am presuming that person was me ;-). I have found the internet invaluable for making some amazing friends and it was one of my aims for this year to really take the time for people on the net. Maybe one day we'll actually get to meet irl. You never know! I met one of my blogging friends irl over a year ago and I can honestly say she has become my closest friend. She lives about 3 hours drive from me. x
ReplyDeleteYup, you're the friend :) Who knows, maybe one day I'll go over to the UK with the Red Cross, or even just on vacation. I do plan on traveling one day. But, until then, or even if that doesn't happen it's awesome to have a friend online! :) Or, who knows maybe oneday you'll venture over to the US!
