Sunday, September 04, 2005 Well, I'm alive. Internet was pretty much unusable last week here in Azove so I didn't get a chance to even say that. I could barely download my email, let alone do anything like blog. It also doesn't help that my computer is still defunct... and I can't quite get through to Apple through any means known to man. I'll figure out something eventually... maybe.

In any case, the big news is that I got a cell phone! Everyone who signed up knows this already, because I sent a big e-mail... but now the world can call me. Since calls to Benin are fairly expensive from most parts of the world, I don't have any problem at all posting my number. So, if you're dying to get into contact with me... give me a call at +229-60-27-11. After Sept. 17th Benin is changing it's dialing plan to 8 digit numbers, so it will be +229-97-60-27-11. That's it. I can receive international texts if your service provider supports it, and I can respond fairly cheaply. I haven't actually received replies to any texts I've sent out yet, but I know they have been received... so you might want to talk to your provider to see how exactly to do it. It is possible though, another stagiare here has been trading text messages for some weeks now.

That's pretty much it for now. Running out of internet time!
