Being without WiFi at my house drives me crazy, but also makes me try out all the places around here that have WiFi!
The kids at school do have exams at the moment, so they can't come to counseling in the mornings. So this week Karin and I started at 1:30pm at the schools. That gives me time to check out places in the morning - what is way more satisfying than after work, because everything closes at 5pm around here. Literally everything. All the shops in the city close latest at 6pm, so everyone gets home before dark. Besides not having wifi, that is the next irritating thing for me here: you do not go out when it is dark. Shops and Cafés close, everyone hurries home and if you do want to go out after dark you get a cab for any tiny distance.
Searching for WiFi I checked out a Café right around the corner of my place: Franks. They do have pretty god muesli there! Granola with plain yoghurth and honey. Seriously awesome. But the WiFi sucks. It kicked me out in the middle of typing. So I checked out another place in the afternoon, a huge bakery that used to be a german one, now it's called Euro House. I had a red velvet cupcake and learned that it is made out of beetroot, to make it velvet! I could actually taste the beetroot after being told.
I used the opportunity to ask the waiter/chef about seasonal fruits at the moment. He went back to the kitchen and came back with a big box full of strawberries! He gave me some to taste and I guess I will be eating strawberries the next weeks!
I already tried to eat Guava and learned that you could actually eat it with the skin, kind of like an apple (on my first try I ate it like a kiwi, cutting it in half, eating it with a spoon). My next experiment will be Paw Paw (Papaya) and Granadillas.
