Back online...
Jun. 8th, 2010 12:36 pmMy internal clock got me up at 5 am local time (7 am Baikonur time), and I tossed and turned until the dining room opened, had breakfast, and set off on foot for the Beeline office near Mayakovsky Square.
I got to the office an hour early, and decided to start the line. It allowed me to do nothing more than think and scribble in a notebook. I enjoyed the hour, noting, among other things, that the second person in line showed up at 12 to 9.
It turns out the young man who answered my question about whether Kazakhstan fell within Beeline's "national network" (he said 'yes') was wrong, so instead of paying 4.95 rubles per megabyte in Baikonur, I was paying 15 rubles for every 20 kilobytes of data.
You can burn 700 rubles pretty quick that way.
Anyway, the young woman who served me made things right and I'm back online!
Now I need to take a shower and scramble to get out of here and over to my sister-in-law's.
Cheers...
