Arrived in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire
After 19+ years of writing my first Pen Pal friend, first starting with postal mail I met up with Kwesi, a journalist in Accra.

With the modern wonders of usb wireless modems to connect into the mobile phone's network and the added benefit of having a netbook which inherently has a long battery life, I can perch myself, seated Thai style on the fertile ground among the corn plants, communicating with half the world, albeit agonizingly slowly at times.

Vizini
