When traveling, free wifi is god sent. While more and more places are starting to offer, it is still a rarity...

Free wifi zone near Karnan, Helsingborg. It looks like the Chennai poster plasters have gone there too...!!!! |
So, when I saw this in Helsingborg, near
Karnan, I was thrilled. I immediately, whipped out my phone and connected. Unlike the 'free wifi' in Chennai airport, this did work and worked well where available.

This map, pulled from a website shows the wifi spots available in any given area and its coverage. It allows you to zoom in to see exact coverage for a particular area. |
I falsely assumed citywide wifi coverage and soon realized that was not the case. The wifi connection kept dropping as I moved around the city. Then I
learned that, the wifi coverage is not citywide after all and only available at specific locations. Nevertheless, made best use of it, when and where it was available.
