Communications....

Mail has always been a major excitment, its amazing to get a parcel of goodies that are usually saved for extreemely special occasions, and to know that the people back in Aus haven't forgotten you.

So, one can imagine what excitment that e-mail brought... I mean, now you didn't have to wait 6 months for things to get through...

So, when in elementary school, the idea of a long distance friendship wasn't really existant. But, since internet, e-mail and chat have come along, a long distance friendship, and even love can bloom. There is a couple here who met once, and basically fell in love over the phone and letters.

So, your opinions, is a long distance relationship possible? Is it practical? Is it desirable?

In my opinion, due to lack of face to face contact, a long distance relationship can begin to fail after a while. Common experiences and aquaintances begin to number less and less, and if the relatonship was never all that strong in the first place, it really can begin to fade. One begins to lose things to talk about, and the only thing to do, is to describe what is happening in your own country to the best detail, and hope that your friend does the same.

So, what are your thoughts? Is a long distance relationship one that can last?
