Internet access

We are not sure how much access we will have to the internet. To be honest, we are not sure about a lot of things. That's part of the adventure.

While cruising the internet, I happened across a blog written by an American woman living in Cameroon. We've been corresponding and it turns out she knows Lana! Small, small world. Reading her posts have given us a real insight into how things work over there.

She writes:
"Everyone who can has more than one cellphone. You sit down in a bar and on the table are beer bottles and a pile of mobile phones.Why? So that you can still be in touch when one of the networks inevitably breaks down. I bought my second SIM card within two months of arriving here in Cameroon. MTN, my first network, was virtually out of commission for an entire month.
Here's another great one -- for about 36 hours up until about an hour ago I couldn't get on the Internet. Why? There was a fault on *the* satellite that provides Internet access to Cameroon (and I bet several other countries as well). One satellite for the entire country. It had a problem, we grind to a halt."
