At Home on the Web

My wife and I recently traveled to England, Scotland and Ireland and found that a great way to keep in touch with those at home was the Internet site https://www.mailstart.com. Many libraries, hotels and even a castle in Ireland were equipped with computers connected to the Web. In Scotland, the Internet cafes are doing a booming business.

You meet many interesting people from around the world in the Internet cafes, and we found the German students spoke the best English of any. It made me ashamed of only being a bit bilingual.
