Cape Town. It’s the gift that just keeps on giving. I’m sitting right now in Exclusive Books in Tamboerskloof. I’m at a counter which divides the bookshop from the Mugg & Bean next door, and the two places are linked.<\/p>\n

This is the first time I’ve used wifi to connect to the internet. My buddy Charl lent me his wifi card before I came to Cape Town, and I’m now at one of Mweb’s free hotspots. (I have 20 hours of access a month free before I start paying. And it’s HEAVY payment… R1 per minute once you’ve hit that 20 hour ceiling.)<\/p>\n

I’m using the wireless connection to avoid spending money on my cellphone connecting to the internet. If I used the cell, I’d pay a serious fortune for the privilege of updating this site, seeing as it’s charged by the kilobyte.<\/p>\n

And the babeage here is extraordinary. But you know that. So I’ll just shut up now, wipe the drool off my keyboard, and hit “send”. <\/p>\n
