I think this is so much fun. You not only get a gift but now you can also get a pen pal. It is so neat to think of what you might get from around the world. Even here in the USA everybody gets different stuff than what you get in your native state. Use to have friend that lived in North Carolina for a few years. Whne he came home he stocked up on Big Red soda, Albert's Hot SAuce, bought cowboy boots & Wrangler jeans because he couldn't get them in NC. BBQ is not the same here as in other states. Even Taco Bell tastes different in other states than here. We are all unique in our own special ways. Can hardly wait.
