The Internet is a life force for anyone living overseas. Online you can send mail, talk on the telephone, check your bank account and do some bill payments. But what I enjoy the most is reading the news and more importantly watching and listening to the news.
My favorite site is public radio, accessible through iTunes or directly from their website. Weather, sports, human interest and national news is all available. Also, I can listen to "Market Place" and classical radio. The only set back is that it is 4 minutes behind the live broadcast. This is no big deal.
The vibes from home can be felt when it is most important. It allows me to keep in touch with family and friends.
Thank God for the Internet.
I for one can agree about the power of the Internet. When your day is beginning, mine is ending and vice versa. I am a software nerd, but it is still amazing to me that I can sit at my desk and talk to my brother who is 6300 miles away.
Glad that the Internet keeps you informed of the happenings back in Minnesota.
Take care buddy.
