Use a USB thumb disk. I got a brand new 1GB stick from Best Buy for fairly cheap. Install all necessary programs on it -- Putty, Firefox, Emacs/Vim, GIMP, etc. The more the better. If you have room, install Cygwin (I'd suggest getting a 2GB stick for that, though). It is almost certain that an Internet cafe will let you plug in a USB disk, and then you have a nice set of programs to work with. Cheers! -- Leonid Grinberg
