Day 10

I've decided that when it comes to things I miss about being overseas, I have to say one of things I miss most is the speed of the internet.

Our internet at home stinks. Its slow. Really, really slow. I honestly thought that when we lived in Turkey, the internet couldn't get any worse. But here in our village in Germany, we managed to find the one place in K-town that gets slower internet then Incirlik.

I'm not really an internet person. I use it to webcam, check email/facebook and shop online. But lately I've been trying to upload videos and pictures for Jon. Honest to god, it will take up to 6 hours to upload a 2 minute video on you tube. SIX HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to add icing to the cake, I can't do much else on the internet during that time because the upload is sucking whatever bandwith I have.

I don't know what I'll do with myself if we ever end up with broadband again. I've become so accustomed to pausing downloads and waiting for pages to load. But if I ever find out they offer it here in this village, you can believe I'll be one of the first people in line (although its highly unlikely it will ever happen)
