The Basic Needs

E-mail, Hotmail, Internet. There is a nice redundancy there… This photo was sent to me from rural Vietnam.

'Hotmail'... 'hotmail'? Jesus, the name sounds so familiar, but I can´t remember what was it...

;)

How incredible that this photo didn´t get any comment in all this time, right? I wonder what may be the meaning of the store´s name "quoc thai"...

I was also wondering about the analogy between the vietnamese militar strategy -tunnel webs- and the ontology of the Internet... How could the former be a concrete example of the theoretical indestructibility of the last?

I came back here because I remembered this conversation while reading now the online newspaper on the war in Lebanon... beyond comments on how unfortunate all this is =( , I wanted to share this:

I am reading that one of the greatest difficulties for the israeli troops is that the hezbollah army has set up a net of underground tunnels and bunkers. What impressed me is that no-one is making the connection between this and Vietnam... (which would lead to seriously think what can be the outcome of trying to fight against them under this conditions).
