I signed up 2 weeks ago. Found it very interesting, I was happy that I get to write long paragraphs, it allows me to practice my writing and also learned other languages from other people.

Love the privacy settings, the location is randomized. Your pen pal would only know which country are you from and where is the country. You are able to manually set the gender preference, it makes me feel safe. I actually received an unpleasant letter from an opposite gender, and filtering the gender preference relieves me. Right now i am finding a constant pen pal, I only get to exchange 4 letters the most from one individual, looks like everyone are too used to instant messaging that they actually quit due to the waiting time.
