			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">[Nairobi, Kenya]</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">GREETINGS FROM</span> <em>Faith Cyber Cafe</em> here in the <em>Diamond Shopping Plaza</em> on Tom Mboya Street near the Bata store and Tuskys. I love coming here once in a while because the dudes who operate this place are always accommodating of me and my Mac laptop. Oh, did I mention how CHEAP it is to browse here? It&#8217;s like 50 cents per minute folks.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> For you tourists from the West, that&#8217;s </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">half</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> of a Kenya Shilling&#8230;not $0.50. That&#8217;d be too expensive!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ebGi_GFXurg/SL_4DRP8b8I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/2LbLHjvYOtQ/s1600-h/cyber-cafe-rat.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" rel="lightbox[483]"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242181226336120770" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 396px; height: 350px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ebGi_GFXurg/SL_4DRP8b8I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/2LbLHjvYOtQ/s320/cyber-cafe-rat.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Bye bye expensive cybers</span><span style="font-family: arial;">&#8230;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Heck, in Karen (an expensive Nairobi suburb), everyone charges KSh 2 per minute to surf the Net. I remember this one cyber on Langata Rd. near Bomas. They were charging KSh 3 per minute. Can you believe that? What are they smoking? Please, somebody call the police for Information Super Highway ROBBERY. Gees. <img src='http://maxtheitpro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span> <span style="font-family: arial;">Anyhow, I&#8217;m just waiting for those fibre optic cables to connect at Mombasa in late 2009 or so. ISPs keep saying that prices should drop by 75%. I&#8217;ll believe it when I see. it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Trim city&#8230;</span> <span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
By the way, this Diamond Shopping Plaza is one heck of a place. Why? Because it has tons of womens hair salons everywhere. It&#8217;s like the <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=golden+computer+arcade+kowloon">Golden Computer Arcade</a> in Kowloon (Hong Kong) where you&#8217;ll find tons of computer hardware for sale at great prices. The only difference is that they&#8217;re tons of hotties working in this 3 floor plaza doing a fabulous job making their female clientele look hot too. Any how, don&#8217;t take my word. Just drop by for a &#8220;pleasant&#8221; visit. <img src='http://maxtheitpro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">The price is right&#8230;</span> <span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
Again, Faith Cafe only charges 50 cents per minute. Heck, that&#8217;s only <span style="font-weight: bold;">KSh 30 per hour</span>. How in Heaven&#8217;s name are these peeps making coin? In fact, most of the cybers in this area of town charge this rate. Some even dare to charge KSh 1. How rude. <img src='http://maxtheitpro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p>All in all, I like coming here when I&#8217;m in town because the staff knows me, and they really take care of me. That&#8217;s why they keep getting my business.</p>
<p>Happy web surfin folks!</p>
