Whew. I'm used to the Canadian dollar being low, and I suspect many of my readers wouldn't realize how steep the cost of internet access and blogging is for other countries. Thanks for telling us Ganns and Irene, if nothing else maybe we won't take you for granted. Blog on! I wonder why I’m not surprised, sad but not surprised.70%. Whew.

In the Philippines, that's roughly 70% of minimum monthly wages. Yep, it's steep. I don't pay for Internet access, surfing, whenever I can squeeze in the time, at work. My hosting costs me PhP2400 a year (that's roughly US$43.75).

Actually the dullest blog went comparatively unnoticed for about 4 or 5 months then suddenly made a spalash when it was already in the water, so to speak. Quite why and how these things work is a mystery to us all. Thanks Bene - very kind of you.
