To be fair to Pi, the forum was indeed slow last week. Was trying to get some Kimchi couple of days ago, but I could hardly browse the FL Dome without getting an error message. And I'm running on a VERY fast connection.

But yes, like most developing countries, internet in the Pi is very slow, and very expensive. I suggest before getting on the plane, you take down notes the old school way - you know with pen and paper? That's what I always do bro

I tried like 20 to 30 times within 2 hours and the same thing.....

no choice....first night, just when with colleagues to dinner only. However, manage to get a mobile internet dongle from a friend. I thought, this time should not be an issue....but fuck, again...something like Database error...message appear or the brower cannot download the page. I heard my colleagues told me that the speed of his dongle is 512K...what the fuck..!
