Blogging from overseas

I found an Internet cafe the other day, right near the Panthenon- a place where the greats of French history, art and literature are buried. I paid 3 Euro for one hour. He asked me- with a French accent of course- Do you want laskdfjoawi or wlfmvoi? Three times I asked him to repeat it. Then he said, "Just take any computer that you want." I went to the computer and started to log in. It was not working. I looked down at the keyboard and suddenly I understood what he meant. It was not a QWERTY keyboard. I guess there are other styles of western keyboard and the one I was sitting at was the one that they use in France. Suddenly I knew what he was talking about. So I searched around for a QWERTY keyboard and found one.

Now I am in Finland- and it has all kinds of letters with single and double circles over the A and misplaced keys abound. The regular letters are fine, but when I have to find a question mark, a parentheses, quotation marks, dashes, @ sign, all kinds of symbol keys, I just have to hunt for it. Now supposed I tried to type it with the keys that are here, I am find until I have to say0 uh dash I_m fine or am I: question mark. Do you see what I mean:
