Tackling the technology in South Africa is tricky. In case you were wondering, these are the things that have gone wrong so far.
1. Bank of America won't let me log on to my account because they want me to verify a text message to my cell phone which I deactivated for 3 months. Hopefully I still have a few dollars but who knows.
2. Facebook got a little freaked out and made me do a multiple choice quiz to identify pictures of my friends. I passed with flying colors.
3. E*Trade is sure that I have been hacked and won't let me day trade, drastically reducing my revenue source during this volunteer stint.
4. My kindle is broken and I need Amazon to send me a new one but of course I have to mail it from America and have it returned to America.
Some of these things could be solved on the phone but the internet connection is not good enough to skype and of course there are no phones in the office. However, I just got my blackberry yesterday so I should have everything sorted out in short order!
