Since I have been basically without internet for the better part of a year in Russia, when I got to my hostel in Norway and discovered fast and reliable internet, I seized it. At night, I plopped down on a chair, and surfed the web. It was glorious. During the course of my internetting, an older Indian couple came into the internet area (where there was also a kitchen) and cooked some food, sat at another table, and ate. The next evening, like a true creature of habit, I sat down at the same seat and surfed the net. The next evening I came down a bit later than the first two nights, and I saw that the Indian couple had sat in my seat. And I know that I didn’t have any right to that seat, but sadly, I was offended that I had to move. It made me reflect. Why did the Indian couple take my seat? And more importantly, why was this such a big problem. Things to think about I guess.

Hi Miriam. WE just got your lovely post card in the mail! Thank you so much! Very nice of you:) We loved it!
Oh, so sorry to hear you don’t get to internet to much in RUssia. Don’t they have descent internet cafes there? It’s susprising. In Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, we have chose cafes on almost every street. There are so many of them out there! People love internetting there:) See how different the ex-Soviet countries are? Cheers!
