I'm a student in grade 12 who lives in Thailand. Last year,my best friend suggested me this website for looking for penpals. I got many penfriends around the world from here. I met him.He is from California.(14 hours different O.o) I helped him to do his math homework by asking my geek friends.He helped me when I was depressed. I spent around 1 year for becoming his best friend. He told me that he would be in Thailand someday and he can do it! He and his parents spent 2 weeks for travel.I became their guide for free.We had amazing time. Finally,He is my boyfriend and my best friend forever. He is going to study in China with me next year.
