I’m sitting in the airport at this café, coffee shop, whatever you wanna call it. We all got excited because there was a sign about Wi-Fi. So naturally, the reaction is “Awesome! Wi-fi! Let’s go cause we have a good amount of time to waste!”
Wellllll…guess what. You have to pay in the airport too. Which is why I decided to write this. In the US, we can get free internet in soooo many locations—any airport, Starbucks, ABP, the library, SO many restaurants, on campus at NU (pretty much anywhere on campus), and home (okay yeah, you pay for that. but it’s easily accessible!). Between having to do research online for our course work here, blogging, emailing, etc…our group here is like—what the heck, why is this so hard? But this is normal here…we’re just internet-obsessed Americans lol. Really though, we’re spoiled.
The reasons we want/need/are asking for internet are understandable; we have to do research for our papers and we need to let our parents know we’re alive. Or least I do, idk about everyone else though lol.
Soooo yeah, that’s my culture confusion at the moment. Maybe this trip will help me become unaddicted to Facebook? We shall seeeeee ;)
