Meme/Poll

[paraka]

So, for those of you who signed up for my Real Life Meme and said it was cool to call you, please take a moment to fill out this poll. I almost called people last night but it was getting latish, and didn't want call at a bad time.

If you didn't sign up for this meme, when I originally posted it, it's not too late! I will call/mail letters anywhere in the world (I'd love to go visiting too, but sadly I can't go anywhere I can't drive to :( )

[Poll #1018803]

Also, con pictures tonight! I promise!

I must have missed that meme when I was away. It's a pretty cool meme. I'll leave you my adress, so you can eventually send me a nice postcard. I love postcards. And I can send you one too if you like.
Unfortunately I hate to speak on the phone with people, though it would be fun. But I probably wouldn't understand anything. It's so hard to call in a foreign language.

Yeah, I said I'd call anyone anywhere, but I know it can be ackward when your first languages aren't the same. When I was in China, one of my friends started with a new plan (I think it was a VOIP) and could call China for free, except the connection wasn't that great, and with the accents it was a really hard conversation. I would still be willing to try though :)

I'll definitely send you something in the mail though :D

When my friend was in Canada, she called me once and it was so difficult. The connection was okay, but it took like 2 seconds till it arrived at my end when she was talking. So it happened often that we talked at the same time or that nobody said anything.
Talking in a foreign language is so much harder. When I write in the internet, I can take my time and eventually look some words up, but talking in real time, that's a bit more difficult.

I'll definitely send you something in the mail though :D
Whee, that's great. If you give me your adress I can mail you something next week. Do you want to have a pictured postcard of Leipzig or some other card?

[paraka]

Yeah, I used to have that problem when I was talking to my sister in Australia. I don't think it was much of a problem when I was in China though. I think the connections have gotten better since then. *shrugs* I shall see.

Cool, I'll reply to the screened post with it.

I could easily send you a post card from Canada, but if you'd like something a little more exotic, I still have some left over from China.

No, a card from Canada would be great. I have a lot already (from Saskatchewan (I'm not sure if it's spelled right) and Toronto, but none from Ottawa yet.

Probably. It was ten years ago when my friend was there. When I got called in Brazil, everything went really fine.
