Internet at last!

Today we finally have finally been reconnected to the rest of the world! We now have wireless Internet in our apartment! It was interesting getting everything set up for this day to finally come, and it was all done in Spanish, which I think is pretty impressive...

It wasn't easy, what with the guy from ONO calling me 7 times (that's right, 7 times!) to make sure I would be home when he came, and then because he kept getting lost trying to get to our apartment. Plus he didn't seem to understand my Spanish for some reason... I think he was just being stubborn!

He eventually got to the apartment (once I finally met him downstairs because he couldn't find the huge number 5 sign by the door of our building!) and set to work... drilling holes in the wall! And he didn't even ask if he could! So although he did a pretty good job filling in the holes and there are almost invisible, we may have a slight problem getting our damage deposit back.

Anyways, the important thing is, we now have Internet! And the best part is we had signed up during a promotion, so the installation was free and we also got 40 free channels of cable! So supposedly all we have to pay is the 50€ for our WiFi router.
