Where did Ida go?

Answer: I went to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where the inter­net con­nec­tion is worse than any other city I have been to. After my ini­tial post, I couldn’t get a good enough con­nec­tion to log into word­press. It often took over half an hour to log into my gmail account and view a few new mes­sages. One per­son told me that the inter­net con­nec­tion is via satel­lite, so in the rainy sea­son the sig­nal gets slow. I repeated this to some­one else, and they skep­ti­cally shook their head, assert­ing that it is this slow all year round.

Over the next few days, I’ll post about my expe­ri­ence in Ethiopia and work­ing with Sud­den Flow­ers. I’m cur­rently in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the inter­net con­nec­tion is as swift as the pick-pockets.
