hmm It depends .... I rather use Email because i have a very bad handwriting There are times i can't even read my own handwriting
But i do think that snail-mail is something more personal than an email

Oh I loooooooove snail mail!!!! I am such a child in that regard and when I receive anything in the mail, I still get excited. i don't think that will ever change. Even my little boy looooooooooves to get mail I think he gets mroe than I do!).

I also have bad handwriting because of tendonitis, but still I wouldn't mind trying to write in short bursts; I love that pretty paper and all the cool stuff that goes with it. And I met many people through pen pal mails through--wonderful!!!!

I do love e-mail, though, I have to admit, and I can scan stuff and e-mail it to friends, like articles and stuff that years ago I might have paid a small fortune to mail. But still snail mail rocks!!!!!

Not just the front page

Best fan letter EVAH!

This was also very touching.

Change is a beautiful thing!

thank u guys! i am happy to know about your idea. generally japanese (like me) like snail-mail, hand writing letter. and especially high school students,young girls love it. even in class,we write a letter for friends and pass it.

I like both but e-mail is just so much easier and quicker.

Nothing beats the feeling you get when you receive snail mail (anything and everything except the bills of course!) And Yannick, even terrible hand-writing cannot spoil that wonderful feeling you only get from receiving snail mail... well, I hope not or else it's straight to the bin for all my letters sent! It's something about personalized letters, isn't it? Like the effort you put into writing it or just seeing that person's hand writing makes a BIG difference, doesn't it? I mean; have someone send you snail mail that has been typed and decorated from leaf to leaf w/computer graphics - it still cannot beat the little doodling and less than perfect smiley faces, flowers, etc, can it? Nevertheless, we can't say emailing hasn't helped us keep in touch on an everyday basis and up-to-date

I prefer email...so easy to just type and send, and I've gotten spoiled LOL!!

It can take many lives to clear the debts incurred in one lifetime.

I love snailmail. although it is slower and my handwriting isn't the best. but to open a letter is so much more personal than email. but I do email too, because not all of my freinds love snailmail

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea.

for people who like snail-mail! if you want to get snail-mail from tokyo:) so let me know if you want to get letter fr tokyo written in english and japanese. i will give you japanese name if you need.

I like both... but you can get alot more creative with snailmail and if your handwriting is bad (mine isnt bad just hard to read!) then you can type your letters.. I print which is a bit better.

you can also send cool things in the mail.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

Snail mail for sure

Snail mail

"There are two possibilities: Either we are alone or not on the universe. Both are evenly horrible."

Arthur C.CLARKE

I do like snail mail, but I am just too busy and lazy for both of them.

百忍成金，沉默是金，書中自有黃金
Empower them and see their changes

snail mail...lol, ive just spotted two of my penpals here saying the same... thats cool....
we are all excited when the mail arrives..... and when he walks by without mail we would like to kill the bloke!

*Ive gotta be going---> before roots start showing!!!!*

Oooh, I've always loved snail mail so much. I like it more than e-mail. Still I use e-mail more frequently, as it's quicker and many of my friends prefer e-mail rather than snail mail.

E-mail for me If I had the time, though, then I can do snail mails.

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out; they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines - or you can live your life crossing them. But, there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross."

I much prefer snail mail. I'm jst hopeless when it comes to writing email.
Oh, that reminds me that I still haven't replied to a mail from my friend that I received in January...

I am a rock. I am an island.

I used to do snail mail since I didn't have a computer, leave alone internet! I used to have lots of penpals when I was a teenager, but unfortunately they stopped writing one by one as they got married and had kids Now I prefer e-mail because I get impatient to hear from my friends and snail mail can take really long if the person lives on the other side of the world. But I do send gifts and cards for special occasions by snail mail. It's a more personal touch.

Snail mail or email is good

I would like a female penpal ONLY, to write regular snail mail, and to write long interesting letters, from anywhere in the world, esp australia, china, japan, europe etc. I am NOT looking for a male penpal. I love to swap things from all over the world too.i collect postcards and stamps coins too if you like we swap ..

Please email me and i'll get back to you

I personally prefer snail mail, but e-mail has its plusses.

Snail mail!! I LOVE getting letters in the post. I reply quicker to something I get in the post than I do if I get it via email.

Snail-mail! Only because, I'm so poor at answer to e-mails. And it just so boring, receiving e-mails and sending them, I mean.
And I usually write a lot longer snail-mails than e-mails. My e-mails are usually like couple sentences.
It's too a lot exciting to wait for a snail-mail than e-mail.

What's so intresting in 14-year-old girl's life?

Well, just it, that 14-year-olds are such a idiots, or very smart people.

You can choose am I idiot or smart girl for you.

Snail-mail when I don't have a pc and when I want to get a penpal. E-mail to close friends and for to start contacts. Greetings from holidays HAVE to be by postcard.

Snail-mail is so much more personal. You can see and show how important de destinato of the letter is by using paper, ink, hand-writing and decoration. With an e-mail it is impossible to do that.

Ce n'est pas une pomme

Bücher sind gut oder schlecht geschrieben. Damit ist alles gesagt.

I am for email. it is faster. Somehow find it difficult to open up about things with a person that I maybe read about once a month or so.

I love receiving "real" letters. That moment you see them laying on the doormat. Your heart smiles, when you recognise the handwriting. I'm dreadful though, I literally scoop them up, chuck whatever I am carrying on the floor, and rip open the envelopes. It is not unusual for me to sit reading my letters in my coat! There is something rather lovely and personal about someone taking the time to actually physically write. I love receiving my letters no matter how long they take to reach me.

A strong man stands up for himself; a stronger man stands up for others.

i adore getting snail mail letters (thats part of why i'm here). i have the "doctor" handwriting so it isnt the best but snail mail just has a different touch to it. it's always exciting for me to get a new letter in the mail from someone.

e-mail

though I like to send cards...

Beertje, I love you

Snail mail gets you into the habit of exercising patience. E-mail has it's plus points but it kind of makes us obsessed with the instant world we are so often forced to live in. E-mail is the Starbucks and McDonald's of this world. With snail mail you are always rewarded by your patience and you always appreciate it when you receive a letter through the post with a real stamp and a handwritten address. Nothing beats that.

I have to start again with penpalling but I hope I find some new penpals soon because I love to write and to receive real letters!!

Both. Snail mail is nice & I tell all my snail mail pals from the start that I'm not a regular mailer. Not like every other week & such. Probably once a month. We mostly send little stuff & postcards, too, as well as letters. I do email regularly with my pen pals, though. It's more convenient, all around. And do Skype, too, since I've gotten a Skype phone & I don't have to sit in front of the pc & talk.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did." JH
