So, since last Thursday, I'm back online. It has therefore taken longer yet. To my shame I must admit that I had wasted about 5 days even ...

A storm had on the night from Saturday to Sunday the 04th May the transmitter-receiver unit destroyed on my roof. On the following Monday or Tuesday so I am driven to the office and I reported my problem. There, I was assured that the internet would work again, and the problem is being solved. No problem, I thought to myself ... The next day, but still nothing worked. So go back to the office, ask ...

Now the problem should lie at the transmitter on my roof. You just have to go to Phnom Penh to a new station to be found. When? On Friday morning, the technician will come. Ok - so I torment myself at half past 8 am from the bed and wait for the technician. Nothing. At about 12 clock in the office, I call to - who I was as ever, he had not seen my name on the phone. Used to spell anything, understanding = nil. So I drove back to the office. Obtain the channel would take even longer.

You get used to yes to everything - the problem is that I need the computer and the Internet to work for. No internet, no work. So I sleep most of the day to fuck around with, and spent drinking beer. Bzw. The nights and days of sleep.

Unfortunately, the last few weeks by several Cambodian holidays interspersed in between ... I suffered about 3 days to severe diarrhea, so quickly one weeks' was given away. "

After several more visits to the office, it was then in the last week where - About 10 clock in the morning my phone rings, the technician was on the phone and wanted to know where I live, he could not find the house (the old technician has probably terminated or was dismissed). Most roads here do have names, but no one knows how it is. So I said to the driver, he should go to a bar nearby, then I would pick him up there, I had a passing motorcycle taxi (Motodup) and I grabbed for a few Riehl gone to the bar, have the technician said that he should follow me and the journey began.

When I reached my house I have in anticipation, in a few minutes to be back online, my laptop powered up and waited for things that would happen. And immediately - it did not work. I asked the technician if he, the new transmit-receive unit would have it. He looks at me puzzled, takes out his cell phone and the phone (probably with the Office). The result: He told me I needed a new station. Well, I say that I was told in the office before 3 weeks, I would need a new one. The technician knew nothing about communication in its purest form ... just ... How long did the heranzuschaffen I would now need the new station. Two or three days ... I explained to him then that I would need to work on the internet and when I would leave the country now, and would ask me in my own person for the reason, I should say that I could not work and Money can not live without.

Meanwhile, I was a bit annoyed, especially since I was dead tired, and the technician had rung me from my sleep (I was the night before until about 5 clock in the morning was on the road) ...

If the case would take two or three days, I could not go on tour again in the evening I thought to myself. Sooner said than done - I did not know that would happen to the two or three days, one days. The next day I was therefore re-rung out of bed. The technician stood at the door, what a surprise, with the new channel. The device on the roof was quickly replaced and configured. Now I should start up my notebook (the IP addresses, etc. for the connection must be filled in) what I wanted, of course, like to do.

Wrong! The case goes on, the status lights flash, the box comes up again, turns on itself and the game begins again. I got half a nervous breakdown. Now I was after about 4 weeks - at least in theory - back online, as the laptop begins to strike. So I can write to me by the engineer, the IP addresses and other things around the connection then set it later. First of I lie down again and slept. When I wachwurde, it was earlier this evening and therefore too late to get the notebook into a computer store to. But the next day everything was ready, late afternoon, I went to a local computer shop (abc computers is the name of my knowledge, is on the Ekareach Street) and asked if they could tell me what was a problem for my notebook. I should leave behind the laptop, they would watch it. I did not mean that I have in my home country for about one years warranty on the part of so I asked if they could not sell me a normal desktop pc. I then opted for a box (Asus, 1 GB RAM, 3 GHz clock speed, 17-inch monitor, CD burner, etc., quite sufficient for 690 USD), two hours later I was able to pick up the computer. Next problem: I get here, no windows installation CD? - No, they should not because they have no license for it. Well, what solls ... The computer is running any case, the programs that I need to work here were quick to install (backup-Cd `s are already a good thing ), The Internet set up - and now I'm finally back online!

Who knows how long ...
