So, one of the things I take most for granted in my life is Internet access – almost anywhere I go, I can count on having high speed access, or at least some easily reached wi-fi access nearby.

It turns out, however, that this is mostly only true when I am at home in the USA or Canada. As soon as I leave to go overseas, I often find myself in places that are far away from the Internet access I so love (and need!), or worse, in locations where there is simply none.
