A little but only when chatting. I am happy with having pen-pals even if the communication is slower and then I'm also willing to wake up a little earlier or staying up a bit late if chatting would be better. But I guess if you get along with your friends and can catch up with each other when you have the opportunity then the time shouldn't matter that much.

Friendship should not be affected by distance and the availability of communications. And meeting old friends can be such a nice thing...

yes.i have a good friend in canada.we often make telephonecalls.as the time zones limit we can't contact with each other frequently.

Yes it does. I'm learning korean, and thus, I have several korean friends. The problem is that there are 13 hours of difference between our countries, so it's very difficult to be on line at the same time.
