Semester at Sea has VERY minimal internet -- incredibly slow, loses
connection, and generally not worth the bother. And for students, they
have overall time and memory limits before they have to pay a
supplement. No one can use you-tube or any communications program.
So, effectively, we are unplugged. This is quite peaceful all around, though there are certainly things I would like to look up.
When we arrived at the main golden pagoda in Yangon, there was free
wifi. Students stopped their sightseeing and immediately began texting,
phoning, and skyping everyone they knew. Hmmmm......
