I remember my childhood geography lessons. A whole class
period was spent memorizing the location of continents and countries, while
attempting to imagine something about how other students lived in these faraway
places. If my classmates and I were lucky, we had a pen pal that we exchanged
letters and photos with through the mail – a long-distance peer with whom we
could share our respective likes/dislikes and cultural norms.
