In order to save time (and my memory) when updating my blog at internet cafes along the way, I will be typing up a daily journal on a PDA (like a really miniature computer), and uploading this when I get to somewhere I can use the internet. This PDA runs on electricity of course, so hopefully the scheme of solar chargers will do the trick in keeping me charged up (* denotes items I haven’t got a hold of or made yet)
