I need to try writing like that. You're right, more people should use the post. It's still thrilling to receive a letter. I should start writing them - or cards, even. (P.S., I don't think you have my new address.) I really enjoyed the style of this post, the storytelling tone. I need to try writing like that. You’re right, more people should use the post.

Karen, please do tell me if you get to know your local postal worker better — and tell him thank you for helping get the wonderful letters you send me get here! Lan, I'm sorry to hear you've had poor experiences with postal workers. Most of them that I've met have been the most friendly, fascinating people.

I end up going to the post office several times a month and am usually helped by the same man each time. I don't know his name, but I see recognition in his face as I walk up to the counter and he always makes a point to ask how I am. You've inspired me to find out his name, I just hope I'm not too late. There is something infinitely more pleasing about receiving mail that an email cannot beat, so I'll always use the postal service. I’m really glad you wrote about this; it makes me sad too.
