Exchanging Emails in Hostel

I have really started to hate that email thing. Usually, I generally do like the person if I give them my email and I do want them to write to me. It's weird though, that sometimes I will just receive a random email from someone like 10 months later. Yesterday I just got an e-mail from a guy who I met at that hostel in Guatemala. It was totally freakish. But on the other hand I know I do the same thing to people. Life is busy. We cannot all be internet bums...

I think many traveler are caught inside Facebook and Myspace and all the other social networks and do not reply to people they actually met in real life.

HAHa,
They probably are. I do not have a facebook, and I sometimes feel like I am the only person in the world who doesnt. My classmates talk about facebook and sending things through facebook all the time. Our school use to communicate through e-mails, and now my school only has a facebook, and you can't even send out emails. I use to be really involved in the school, but now I can't be because i don't have facebook. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I truly do not want to give permission to any social network to write me emails. I have youtube.com sending me tons and slowly I am trying to figure out how to stop them.

When I am in Africa, each email becomes a chore to delete as the internet is so slow, I do not need fluff emails for any reason. I want real humans, ones I know to write me personal emails, not a social network.
