The World’s Last Internet Cafés

The World’s Last Internet Cafés

I vividly remember my very first visit to an internet café. The awe and wonder of entering an exciting new world, through the most unassuming place imaginable. I had a sheet of paper with me, with long urls written down, of webpages I wanted to visit. Keystroke by keystroke I typed in those addresses, only to wait many long seconds for those pixels to assemble and show me…I can’t remember what. I do remember that I left the café underwhelmed. Well, here I am, browsing the entire web so you don’t have to…greatly enjoying this homage to the last internet cafés, from K@mandu to Kampala.
