It is amazing to think that only 15 years ago we all lived without
Internet… We have been 10 days without
it and we are absolutely lost not being able to connect from home: we can’t check in
Google the list of wine producers in Bali, the phone number of the pizza
delivery, where to buy a printer, etc. It was evident that Internet was a
priority in our “to do” list.
After many enquiries to everyone we know, calls
and frustrating conversations trying to explain where we live (in the middle of
nowhere), mysterious surveys and unfruitful visits… we hoped we would get
Internet today. Early in the morning the Internet guys arrived. After seeing their
promising skills we nicknamed them ‘Batman and Robin´. Look at the photos and
you would understand why! After hours climbing to all climbable areas in our
house… we received a phone call from their company saying they have to
re-schedule the installation for next week because some trees are blocking the
signal every time there is a gust of wind… We first asked politely to continue trying, we explained then our
desperate situation, then we started to cry and shortly after we went into
begging… After a few shameful minutes, they told us they would try again. We
finally got Internet, now let’s hope for the wind to blow on the right
direction…
