as you may know I live in Algeria... and this morning the most annoying thing about living in a third world country is not..for once, the price of food, the poor water supply and the even pooer water quality...nor is it the housing, or lack of affordable...well..everything really..

no today it's just COMMUNICATION... not the person to person kind you understand..I mean the kind that allows me access to places outside of Algiers...

today I want to communicate and can't

today I am frustrated....

oh and forget about photos too, today nothing in this town of mine wants to work...
it would be cynical of me to presume this has anything to do with the protests happening in Algiers at the moment wouldn't it..

  1. Esalaamu aleikoum Kate,

    I too struggled for yrs with water - the lack of it. We were lugging bottles across town, begging neighbours for just enough to get by etc. but elhamdullah now by lercy of Allah found a truck that will travel to my area to bring water 2x weekly. So I understand. Still buying water for drinking thou.

    Communication wise, here I have no issues - wondering what's the deal where you are?! enchallah kheir

  2. Essalam Alaikum Sis, Well, all I have to say is ROFLOL, not at you, but with you since we are in this boat together! I know how you feel, and well, unfortunately I really wish I could leave this country and go home! Insha'allah you will get your communication system up and running again!
