2. When I get a letter delivered by a postman, it sends me back to my teenage years of penpal-ing and then as now, I experience almost childlike joy and excitement when I hold a letter in my hands. And if that letter is sporting foreign stamps? Have mercy! Is like Christmas. Love love love getting mail in the post. Just love it. (Philogene, Trinidad)
