ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'll definitely have to check out these other YouTube alternatives when I get back to Canada. I won't even bother viewing videos down here in Nairobi, Kenya. That's just asking for mental angusih. :-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps when those 3 undersea fibre optic cables connect to Mombasa next year...if things go according to (ahem!) schedule.
