meeting my pen pal

[Inter]

Hi!

This year my japanese pen pal is coming to visit me,
She comes from Tokyo.
Have you ever visited your pen pals? and how did it go?

From

Jonas

 

[howabe]

Nope... but going to Tokyo in summer, and planning to meet with a penfriend then...

 

[Ashen]

nope , but then I've only been talking to my penpal for a little more than a year so it may be a while.

 

[Chipi]

Not yet. Hopefully I will go to Japan next summer and meet her then. Time will tell.. ^_^
After she has visited you Jonas, please tell us how it went etc, k?

 

[Keiichi]

I'm going to meet a two-three month old penpal in about two weeks. He's coming to Hawaii to study English in UH, so we'll be in the same school.

 

[Golgo_13]

My pen pal will be paroled next year.

Just kidding!!!

 

[budd]

i can't elaborate too much, but i would say that it went pretty good

 

[Arch]

My pen pal came here (Canada) for a 4-week summer English study in the past summer ^^ so I met her..and all her friends, and when she left, I have 5 pen pals instead of one ^^ it was awesome!

now to go to Japan and visit the other 5 =/

 

[Old School]

I ended up sleeping with her.

I think one of my pen-pals really likes me...seeing as how he has asked multiple times if I will come to Japan to be his wife... But, I usually just ingnore his comments, partly because I don't think he's 100% serious, and also because I'm engaged. I have failed to bring that to his attention. We have been talking for over a year, and it just never really came up in conversation !...
Is it worth it to tell him now? After all this time? Because, I doubt I'll ever see him in person....
I'm just afraid that he'll be really mad about it, or hurt..... and yeah, I can't blame him I guess.
He could just be joking....*sigh* the things I get myself into.....

I had a japanese pen friend that came to london to see me, I ended up dating her mate that came with her! we never penned again... erp!

 

[M10]

I want a pen pal too

 

[03SiRyN]

Well....... I can tell ya where I found my pen-pal...
If anybody wants to know... hey! It could be useful information!
I just went to this link.... and I started out getting about 25 different people from Japan writing me. After a few months they weeded out and now I have three really close ones...
But here...

I met one of my pen friends, we had a whale of a time, im going back so now we just chat online whenever we see each other.

 

[M10]

thanks 03SiRyN !!

 

[Bashm]

I hope to make a few pen pals from Japan, i plan on visiting one day, and it would be nice to know someone living there, to hopefully show me around.

 

[Zero-sen]

I'm engaged to mine!! once we met in person it was all good!!

 

[Arekusa]

I've only had my pen-friend for a short while, but like her alot already. I hope to meet her maybe next year or the year after. (Since we're both girls, I don't think, we'll become engaged, though )

@Zero-sen: Still, Im interested in how you work it out? Isn't the long distance a problem (I once had a boyfriend who lived (only)about 600km away, and even that was a trial)

 

[MikeM]

I have 2 penpals. I doubt I'll meet either. They are both great though... one of them, she is from Tokyo and the other one lives in a small town, I forgot the name.

Hear about the frontman of Weezer, Rivers Cuombo? He had a Japanese penpal and he thought they had something going but then he found out she was a lesbian. LOL. Check out their album, Pinkerton, it chronicles the whole story.

 

[Arekusa]

but it could have been worse - she could have been a guy, right

 

[justin]

I'm hoping to meet my penpals. They are both great people and going clubbing with them would rock.

 

[Eternal Wind]

It would be better to meet a penpal with no regrets if its the first meeting and if its more than that,i should say that its a fate that both of u hav met

My Japanese pen pal submitted a "Dear Abby" to this Japanese website. Here is the translation:

--

I became penpals with this American guy, but he said a sexual thing to me, so I started feeling offended. Then I started to hate him and stopped emailing and exchanging postal mails. I cut off every connection he ever could make to stay far away from him.

But recently, I found a website in which a lot of people were talking about this guy. There was a homepage(which I didn't know). His pics and people say everyone should be careful about this guy (Josh). that site was in English so that I couldn't understand much, but there are girls pics and purikura. (the girls don't know that their pics r up there, I bet) I'm so worried! Tak, please help!

Oh, and I realized that I sent pics to him...so, I don't talk to him now, but my face may be up to his homepage! If he is Japanese American, that's terrible because he knows my address! I worried a lot. I'm so glad I didn't meet this guy in person. Should I tell him that I don't want to write to him anymore? what should I do?"
