When I was in school I had a pen pal for a few years. Crystal, from Kentucky, and I regularly wrote letters to each other for a few years.
I would imagine Crystal was quite disappointed when she read my letter when she got to hear of the mundanities I was getting up to in Ireland, in comparison to her own life which seemed very exciting to the 15 yr old me.
She sent me a photo of herself in one of her letters. Posing at a party with a red party cup in hand with a crowd of boys in the background. Tanned and relaxed looking, I was impressed by her, what I thought, was sophistication!
I also was impressed by her disposable red cup. Partyware in Ireland was a lot more basic and duller in comparison at that time. Party cups came in one colour (white) and were about a third the size of a red cup!
So anyway with the advent of texting, email, Skype and what's app, etc I put the question to you do you still write letters to pen pals?
