Hmm... as much as I love Italy, I would say South Korea. As people said before me, you will get to learn about several different things. We are in the similar Occidental world as Italy and Spain, while Korea is outside of that. I think you will learn much more by writing to a Korean person.
Or you can spin the globe, stick your finger on it, and pick the country your finger is on!

I'm very partial to Italy because I love love love love their food. I can live off of that stuff for the rest of my life. So I voted Italy, but Spain and Korea are also excellent choices.

I was the only one who said Spain. DX
I don't know, out of these three, Spain seems most appealing to me, but... I think you should go with whichever one you want.
*totally not helpful*

If you choose Italy based on the Roman Empire don't. All sense of Roman in the Italian peninsula is LONG gone, and its great memory was bastardized to holy hell by Mussolini.
If you want some Roman influence try Southern Greece or if you feel REALLY lucky Istanbul. But the Turkish have long since squeezed all non Ottoman thought out of the once great Constantinople between their denying of the Armenian genocide.

I voted South Korea, but I don't think it really matters much. I'm sure whichever one you pick will be interesting.  How are you going about getting a pen pal though? Is it through a program or something? |

@vector: I'm not choosing Italy based on Rome. The Roman Empire is looooong gone (even if it was the coolest empire ever).
@nymph: I'm getting one through a pen pal program. A program can guarantee me someone who is not a pedophile trying to pass off as a 16 year old.

Meh, Japan would be kinda cool but being an anime/manga fan for a few years, I've had Wapanese fever shoved onto me. I just think penpal-ing to Japan would be so typical and overrrated. Plus, Japan is really just one big Las Vegas now.

Well, if you can speak/write in another language I would suggest getting a penpal from a country that speaks that language. (we started to do that in school, but we all got lazy and forgot to send replies XD)
Other than that, no clue.

I was thinking France but I decided not to include it. My friend would love a German penpal, though. XD
