Internet Cafe

This is the second computer I have installed Firefox on in order to be able to browse normally (no hangs and the ability to have more windows open). The computers are slow Pentium IIs, like the ones we would use about 4 years ago. The keyboard requires some very decisive keystrokes to be worked. The computers all show warnings saying that their Windows is counterfeited (a product key is written with permanent marker on a closet). Some LEDs are hanging out of the computers. And there is a loud high-pitched humm that I feel is starting to pierce my head.
But it's a cool, 'chill', place. One of the staff members is playing some cool Malian music (now there’s a reggae song but before this there was a cool video of two jelis singing to each other on a boat). A fan gently cools the room. And people are enjoying themselves: I see chats, drawings in word and people looking at photos. It's a nice atmosphere despite the modest outfitting. Which, I think, is true for all of Mali.
