TalkTalkTalkTalkTalkTalk

I just finished a 4,5 hours (!) long telephone conversation with a friend of mine who lives abroad. There were simply some things we really needed to talk about.
This is what I find most amazing with modern technology: It has become so cheap, comparatively, to stay in touch with friends in other parts of the world!
With a minute cost around SEK1 (?) this call will for sure make a bump in my phone bill. But it is indeed possible to chat with friends and have an ongoing “everyday” contact, instead of the occasional post card or – at best – annual phone call. This kind of social interaction does so much to alleviate being an expat/living in exile/move around – and to come back to where you started, without feeling like a total alien to your close friends.
