I was on a train ride 8 hours with no internet nor phone.
I don't own a phone capable of internet. So I've never had internet.
I took several of those 2-3 day train rides before I even had a laptop, too.
Don't try me, New Zealander. Maybe you can laugh when you take a 2,469.5 km trainride with nothing to do through the most boring and flat states in the union, worm
