We (hug) wireless
In case you're wondering how we're finding time to post all this on the website, we've got two magical, wonderful words for you: open wireless.
We've been writing posts and emails from the comfort of the car during drives between towns, or from hostel rooms and tents at night. Then when we're done we go trawling the streets for open, unsecured wireless. And this brings us to another magical word.
Apartments.
With the exception of German-speaking countries, we've done pretty well finding open wireless net connections, usually in the vicinity of apartment blocks. We figure the German language instructions mention the security aspect more prominently than the rest of the languages.
