Cyber Cafe etiquette

It is not polite to sit sit next to me, say hello very nicely, then put a briefcase over your lap and start browsing porn sites! Eww, I had to leave a cafe a few hours ago for that same reason. The guy was squirming in his seat and moaning softly and I didn't know why until I sort of leaned back and glanced at his monitor. GROSS! Lol, I left very quickly and complained to the owner and he shrugged his shoulders and smiled ruefully and suggested I sit in a different section next time. I'm back again because my brother joined me in town and I'm in a much better section. Lol. The problem is the prices at this cafe are unbelievably reasonable, especially if I have a lot of catching up to do as far as e-mails, news and such so I can afford to spend more time here. Usually I'm on the run so I'll stop at a cafe that's on the ground floor of my building but they charge 2 shillings a minute while the other one charges 50 cents a minute. Oh great, he's still here looking at porn....with volume now! URGHH! Oh yes, when I go home, I usually wash my hands about 20 times before I touch anything. I'm becoming obsessive compulsive about that. I now have a vague idea of what I may have been in contact with. Lol. Gross!

There are tons of cyber cafes sprinkled around the city and the rates are usually great unless you're at Sarit center, a mall in Westlands. There is one cyber cafe in the building that can be accessed by everyone. There are two on the ground floor but they're for pre-paid customers and frankly they are quite slow. Well the mall has fairs at least once a month on just about every thing ranging from toursim to home/garden shows. If you're desperate for internet access, this one cafe charges an appaling 4 shillings a minute. But if money is of no objection then it's okay to pay those exorbitant prices. Some places will advertise "wireless" in their title. Do not be fooled. Most of these services are dial-up and the connection can be crushingly slow. Sometimes you'll go to at least 5 cafes and find their service is down and that's when the more expensive cafes make money as they use better connections or have better units. I have heard that some hotels have wireless but I've yet to discover one that offers it and very few hotels have really good websites. Damn, I need a laptop.
