So, remember how I mentioned last week I tried going to an internet cafe after work but after walking through unfamiliar and kind of sketchy streets for 20+ minutes from the train station, I started to get nervous about how safe I'd be coming back later? Well, I'm currently at that internet cafe, because I found out which train station is actually closer to it and involves less walking, and my downloads are FLYING by! This is awesome. My ipod software update that was saying at the apartment "10 hours remaining" - five minutes pass by - "oh woops, network error, timed out!" downloaded in five minutes here!
It's not the classiest of internet cafes, but it is super fast and it smells clean (like windex!). So I'm currently subject to sharing a table with a guy having a Skype conversation in Russian, but they're also playing Dido's old CD that I used to own over the speakers, which is kind of fun and nostalgic. And it has options of using your own laptops or their computers, so I can take in my laptop or not depending on my needs for whatever day it is. And did I mention the FASTNESS? :)
Great news! Still a bit of a pain having to get over there but at least it's a solution!
