Carine Wireless
This is on the door. "Guraj" means PUSH
Today I had breakfast in one of the restaurants on the second floor of Carine, a small shopping mall on the main plaza of Podgorica. Just one of the waiters spoke English well enough to understand I needed a place to charge my laptop battery while I used the Internet. But soon after I plugged it in, the battery died. So I looked at the charger to see that the little green light wasn't on. So I tried it in another outlet. It didn't work either. So I went back to the first waiter and explained the problem. He tried another outlet and it didn't work either. Then he asked someone behind the counter to try it there. And it worked there. So then he explained to his co-workers what the problem was. Then one turned on a switch on the wall and we tried it again. It worked. So then we tried it back and my table and it worked.
This is a good example of how many people in Montenegro will try to solve a problem once they understand it. This was not my experience, generally speaking, in South America (where I lived for four years.) There are many similarities between Montenegro and South America, but this is one important difference which makes this country much more livable for me.
Here are the pics...
