Because of the massive restoration that is going on right now in our city due to the storm that visited it yesterday, all power lines had been cut off. So all internet cafes have to close. However, there is this internet cafe which has a generator and so everyone is here and this is where I am doing my updates online.
This internet cafe is quite small and it is supposed to be air-conditioned but right now I am sweating so badly because the generator can only carry the internet and so the aircon has to be switched off. But because this is the only internet cafe that is open now, I have to make this sacrifice. I didn't want to let the day pass without doing my update here on Mylot.
Do your internet cafes have standby generators in case of brown-outs?

Its a good thing that internet cafe was there so you could make your updates , you are dedicated to being active here every day . All the best and I hope you get back power soon .

I can not give a definite answer because I never use internet cafés, but I seriously doubt if any of them have a generator. We have periods of power outages here in England in the past, but it was very rare to encounter any business with a generator even though the power shortage was expected to some degree. Itherefore can not imagine many bother being interested in generators nowadays due to power cuts being quite rare.

I admire your dedication! I hope your city gets back up and running soon, you don't realize how much you take electricity and the internet for granted when these things happen. I don't think I could stand the heat.

Hmm That's a cool internet cafe. Mostly internet cafes here have no generators. I haven't seen one with a generator. Do they charge higher? or they charge the same amount?

That internet cafe is quite ready in that kind of situation. Its my first time to heard about such internet cafe like that. At least you can check out your online things and update. Just bring fan to ease the hotness.
