    I’m living in western Europe and my family is in Australia, so any letters go a long, long, long way.

    Probably returns to China.

    My father once had a funny digital realisation when he (German) phoned his German friend from Australia while not knowing that said friend was in Australia as well.

    So the call went from Australia to Germany to look for the German phone and roaming back down to Australia to make the connection. I wonder if the actual signal traveled to Germany and back to Australia or if it is routed locally after establishing where every participant is.

    A few letters to my family for Christmas/New year from Japan to France while I was there for an exchange.

      South or North (asking under the impression they still have occasional English teachers in the North)?

      My answer would actually relate to North Korea. Dumb younger me thought “if they have no technology, I bet someone there would appreciate being a penpal”. In hindsight I fear the results.

    Like many I imagine: China to where I live (France), back in those days when I ordered too much useless crap online.
