Reply #5: I doubt it. I wrote to the Soviet Union & East Germany when I was a kid

[Catch22Dem]

I read about some kid who had letters from all over the world. Basically, he just wrote to some head of state and their office replied with an aknowledgement letter. So, I thought I'd give it a try. I was about 10 I guess. Anyway, I wrote to everything I could see on my little map. You know, it's funny because this is before the internet and somehow I managed to come up with all the addresses. Now that I think about it, I have no idea how I did that!

So, I wrote to the USSR, DKP, France, West Germany, etc... I got all kinds of letters back. Sometimes they sent a little travel brochure. It was neat. My parents were like, "what the fuck?"
