Techno Backpacker
Well I've just finished my first practice pack. One week out for departing, and I've decided to be all prepared and try out packing my bag.
To cut to the long and the short of it, I'm packing alot of techno. Why? Well I've always been a gadget man, and anything that can make the trip smoother is welcome! So the next few blog posts will be dedicated to the technology i'm bringing on my 3 month journey...
ITEM 1 - The Eee PC
(Caption - Promotional Bikini model not included.)
Why?
During a discussion with my sister, Jessie, I was informed that the majority of Internet access in Europe can be found found in the form of WiFi hotspots, rather than Internet cafes. I also took note of the fact that Jessie's camera managed catch itself a virus when she connected the memory card to an Internet cafe PC. So when presented the opportunity to by a laptop like this for 300 bucks, I jumped at it, hoping that it would both simultaneously allow me to blog, write a personal diary, email, backup and upload photos.
Plus... check out how tiny it is!
Item 2 coming up in the next blog post!
