Did you just Google ‘cyber near me’? If so, you are in the right place.

This post is about my go-to cyber cafe near me in Westlands.

In writing for Chick About Town, among other things, I spend my fair share of time on the Internet.

When you hold a regular 9-to-5 or are at school, Internet access is something that you take for granted.

In the Western World, having an Internet connection at home is almost a given.

Even my parents, one of whom only recently learned to type his own emails, got a home computer with Internet connection when they moved to the US a couple of years ago.

In Africa, without an Internet connection at school or at work, you have to think a little harder about how to connect with the rest of the world via the Internet.
