Default In Mexico, but homesick

Hey All! Living abroad has been great. We've been doing a lot of traveling
and Mexico City is an awesome city. The Zocalo is amazing, and the old
buried Aztec city of Tenochtitlan is totally cool. The language thing can
be a little tricky. I'm pretty lonesome for the sound of English. My
friends call me once in awhile, but the phone rates are killer. E-mail is
cool, but it's just not the same as hearing somebody's voice. Does anyone
know anything about video chats online?

Hola! I agree Mexico City is great, really underrated as a tourist
joint. I'm in Cairo right now at the American University there, and I
would kill for the air quality of Mexico City, and I think you know that
it's not that great. Anyway, about the whole video chat thing - forget
it. It'll be great someday, but nobody is set up for it. Plus, it's
really expensive after you've paid your hourly rates to the internet
cafe.
Get your friends to call you using OneSuite.com It's about the cheapest
thing I've found and the only way I can talk to my sister without
worrying the whole time about money.
Good Luck!!

Both of you posting using Xnews/5.04.25? Coincidence? Maybe.
Eerie, nonetheless.
