Through their fine reporting on the media bazaar.
I have many posts to make and images to upload myself; for the moment
you will have to be content with theirs.
Today I scoured the city for internet cafes (les publinets).
I found two, of varying quality and elegance; charging $1-2/hr.
both suffered from a “lack of resource” over the course of two hours —
the satellite connections through which their landline providers
connect to the internet were down. Apparently this happens
often… I had heard rumors of it, but most telling was the acceptance
of others in the cafe who simply hung around waiting for the connection
to return.
I ended up finding access at a 4-star hotel with its own private
connection to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, I don’t have
a room here, and have to leave the comfort of their lobby presently…
