Who was your first foreign friend?

Only the snail mail was available long time ago, we had a way of contacting others through penpal.
My first penpal was a lovely Dutch girl -- Wilma, who was going to be a nurse.
We were both 15 years old.

She used to send me some of her photos when she helped out her uncle on his farm, many small farm animals she used to take care of was refreshing to me.

I sent her my photo taken in front of Olympic Stadium gate, I lived right next to it at that time.
She asked me whether that was my house..😁

The second one was a boy-- Diego from Brazil, who was really into David Bowie.

It became my youth memory that I used to enjoy and it seems so pure now compare to what we can do the same thing instantly.

there was a French foreign-exchange student at my high school who was also my temporary neighbor. he would sing a French song at me that had my name in it. he also encouraged me to remove my bikini top at the beach and couldn't understand why it was illegal. we kept in touch for a few years after he left.

@SW-User I don’t know when it was but French are more open and not shy about expressing fun loving nature. 😄
That song is special to you. 💚
