communicating with love one.....

i remember when i first started working overseas.... back in 1994, overseas call cost a fortune and there are not to many phone lines available in my province, there was no mobile phone yet that time and land line phone is not easy to acquire. so most of the time we have to rely on snail mail. mails that time usually takes 5-14 days to arrive.

sometimes there are friends who goes on annual vacation that happens to live within the town, so you have a chance to send mail and voice tapes... and when he comes back you expect to receive the same gesture from your family...

now a days communications is much easier; with the advent of mobile phone, Internet and SMS... your love one is just a phone call away, or an SMS away... and better still with the video and voice chat, you can talk and see them, short of touching them....
