Despite of the undoubtedly beauty of Killaloe and Ballina living in that place, being almost completely cut off ?Äï without internet, TV and radio ?Äï without a car and without furniture at the place, could be very hard. Luckily I made a quick recon among the archaeologists I have been working with, and finally I have found a couple that have been living in Nenagh. At present I am living in Nenagh town centre, in a small cozy old tiny house just couple of meters from ruins of 13th century Franciscan Abbey.
Nenagh seems to be as large as Carlow, and it counts about 6 thousands citizens, but the building are much higher and the main junction in the center reminds much bigger cities.
I expected that my problems with getting internet access would be solved afterwards. I was wrong. Nenagh is another city out of the recent trends in electronic communication. There is only one (or maybe two) internet caffes. The one I know doesn?Äôt provide wireless access for customers with their own laptops. They have only one lan socket, which is broken. Finally I have found computer shop that have its own hot ?Äï spot (wi-fi access point) for 30 euro per month. Unfortunately the coverage diameter is only 40 meters ?Äï because of electrical wires on the street. I paid charge and I have internet access from the pub on the opposite side of the street.
I am thinking about 3G from Vodafone, but I need current bank statement, and AIB is open only till 5 pm. Things seem not to be user friendly at all.
