Back on track
May. 19th, 2003 10:58 amOh, peaches and plums! All you lovelies who left comments!
I have returned. I am recovering from jetlag by recovering from cold turkey. Because, yes, strangely, bizarrely, perversely and inexplicably, the United States, cradle of the internet revolution (besides Switzerland, that is) and mythical land of web-web everywhere, is a barren land of no internet cafes.
Remember how I always found a little webnook in Rome or Munich or Paris? Not so in Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York. And if, then fiendishly expensive, e.g. 35 cents per minute! (In my local internet cafe I could have a go for *one pence* per minute, that's 1 1/2 cents.)
Also, my mobile didn't work in the States. I was *bereft*! I made a meeting point to see a friend: we never met up. Life is not worth living without the mobile.
( Some rather more profound thoughts on my travels )
Any juicy news? What have I been missing? Rec the good fics!
