I’m at the café of Kiasma, Helsinki’s modern art museum. This is my first time blogging from a café with wireless Internet – very cool! Unfortunately, there are only five cafés in Helsinki with free wireless Internet, and the charges for the paid services are more than double what you’d pay in USA.

In particular, two of my favourite cafés, Carusel and Kappeli, have these charged wireless Internet services. If one of them was free, I’d probably go there pretty often.

Luckily, I have a mobile phone that I can use to connect the laptop to the Internet. It’s not nearly as fast as wireless, but for most purposes it’s OK. I have to use the mobile phone to connect the laptop to the Internet at work, as the company wireless network won’t accept connections from private machines.
