Internet

Life is hard without it. Right now, our only access to the internet is:

a) at the school
b) internet cafe
c) real cafe

The school is the best setup. They have a wireless network in the building with a very guessable password that they tell you. We are now eating our lunches in an empty classroom so we can check email and blog regularly. On weekends (and friday afternoons unfortunately) we are forced to venture elsewhere for internet -- I was wondering if we could just hover outside the closed school building, but our friend Benno said he tried that and it didn't work. This brings us to the next best option, the internet cafe. At 1 euro per hour, it's actually a pretty good deal. However, there our 2 major problems:

1) The French keyboard. Terrible. You have to use the shift key to type a period. M is somewhere weird, so you find 2 exceptions in typing '.com'
2) There's no way I am going to log into a bank account on a public computer. Bad Idea.

The third option is actually quite nice, albeit expensive. Many cafes in public squares offer internet access for their patrons. Downside is that you have to buy a drink, which is at least 3 euros. Not a bad thing if you were going to go cafe-ing regardless, but in terms of internet alone it is expensive.
