Technology 3

I am waiting for the bis (bus), in Way Heni, a small village outside the forest. As I already said, cellphone signal is only available 15km away, across the mountains. I am talking about it, and the plans to build an antenna soon, to the owner of the bar/restaurant/ticket counter/bus stop (he is Budi’s brother). And he shows me two pieces of metal welded to a cable that disappears towards an iron pole, which goes through a hole in the roof and straight up to the sky, becoming a small antenna. With an omnipresent rubber band he secures the contraption to my phone, and there you have signal!
