If you decide to use Cyber Cafe’s please checkout listings on the Internet Cafe Directory.

You can either use pre-paid hotspots available at most hotels, airports, restaurants or you can use your own USB modem with a SA sim card, using pre-paid airtime. The easiest is Vodacom or MTN. Stay away from Cell C or Virgin Mobile as they do not offer anything above Edge. So purchase a pre-paid sim card from their shop at the airport and ask them how to load data bundles. Your laptop should be set-up to use it as is.

It has thrills and chills and its very brightly coloured. And it’s very loud and its fun for a while. Some have been on it for a long time, and begin to question is this real or is this just a ride. And other people have remembered and they come back to us, and they say “hey don’t worry, don’t be afraid ever, cause this is just a ride.”

And we kill those people. “Shut him I’ve got a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family, this has to be real.” It’s just a ride. We all kill those good guys who try and tell us that. You ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter cause its just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings with money. Just a choice right now between fear … and love.
