You could find internet cafes, but almost nobody had a PC at home. Very few people would have an email, as it was devil, and everybody could read it and know everything about you. And it was magic, as well, nobody really knew how to get one. You kind of hoped that one would appear in your front door one day.

Taxis? We've always had taxis! They're part of the landscape.

so i've noticed
i can't step out of the house or the office without seeing a wall of the fuckers - not so many internet cafes these days though - even the easyinternet places seem to be struggling

I would think
that as more people have internet at home now, they don't need to go to the internet cafes anymore.

I've had people coming to visit to Tenerife (from mainland Spain), completely surprised because we wear trousers and shirts, and go to work, and don't spend the whole day surfing.

idiots
the other day i was stopped in the street by someone asking the time. 2 seconds later he asked me if it bothered me speaking to a foreigner (he was an Afircan i believe). He laughed when I told him there wouldn't be much point living here if I did.

I'll remember that one in case I need it.
