Oh, man, I can’t believe how much mail happens here in America! I have not lived here for two years, yet Dad delivered 15 pounds of mail addressed to me when we arrived. In the week that we’ve been here I have continued receiving mail, too.

In Budapest I *might* get one letter a week. We only get three bills each month, as our landlord pays most of our utilities for us. I even quit using my desk because there was no need to sit down and process paper anymore.

I thought the advent of email was supposed to reduce postal mail!
