I don't own a phone over here. I love it. It is so liberating! It's really not as inconvenient as you would think, either. Not for me at least - it seems more of a hassle for other people. I don't think people need to be in contact with me that badly though!
I've had some practice being disconnected from the digital world. I deleted my facebook all last summer, and I couldn't have been happier without it. I only got it back so I could keep in touch with all you chumps while I'm over here! But for real, why does everybody always have to be connected to everybody else? In the 90's, people only had landlines and facebook didn't exist. Why can't we do that again?
When I tell people I don't have a cell phone, I get all kinds of reactions. Some people are shocked, and some people are proud of me. I don't really think it's a big deal though!
The worst thing that has come about from me not having a phone is that I didn't get to go parasailing. It's a long story, but the company was really rude to me and wouldn't let me book over email. Oh well, water under the bridge.
I'm really glad I didn't get a phone will I've been here, and I'm definitely gonna lose the attachment to my phone when I get home!
