Internet cafe

This afternoon I tried going to an Internet cafe to see if they had a
faster connection. I stepped in to a room filled with about 7 computers
and was waved over by one of the guys. He motioned for me to sit at one
computer, which I did and started to open my email, but the connection
was too slow. I was signaled to try a different computer that could read
Japanese and I tried that. The Japanese text showed properly this time
but still the connection was too slow, so after 15 minutes or so I gave
up. The attendant didn't charge me anything and we waved good-bye.
