I've had one good and one bad experience with penpals.

I met one girl who I started exchanging emails with on a regular basis. She eventually came over to visit me for a week where we had a great time as I showed her around the city, took her hiking, etc.

Two months after her return, she came back to my city with a student visa where she spent the following year studying English.

That was around 8 years ago. She still remains as one of my best friends and we'll always hook up when I'm in japan.

The bad experience was a girl who started off friendly but eventually turned into a stalker who got pissed off when she didn't receive my reply within 24hrs. She eventually flew 7000km, looked me up in the phone book and made her way to my front door!!! Jeez... what a crazy biatch!
