Living in the Internet Stone Age

The Internet is slow, but it is very impressive to someone like me. I had never had the opportunity to use satellite Internet until I arrived at the Starfish Country Home School. The only downside to the satellite is that sending pictures and attached files can take up to ten minutes per email that has 6 megabytes of attachments. As for surfing the web and using the wireless Internet on my laptop it has caused me no problems. When the Internet does go down though, the person who installed the Internet says it has to be unplugged for an hour before plugging it back in. I find this hard to believe, but luckily, the Internet has only stopped working once for me. Fast Internet access is one thing I do miss a lot here, but at least it is free to me although the actual cost to the school is about 1,800 baht ($45.00) a month.
