Technology Difficulties

This is my third day without access to the internet. It wouldn't be too bad if it was only the lack of contact with family and friends. However, my project depends on the knowledge and information that I have access to online. I also have many friends helping me with technical information. Today, I was able to get a ride to town. My host brought me to the Library and they have an internet café. It costs about 50 cents per hour to connect. However, in order to sign in to my email accounts from a new location, my friends at Microsoft and gmail want to verify my location and to protect my security. To do this they want to send me a code. My phone does not function here. The best I was able to do is to have a code sent to another email account...which I also cannot access! The next step is to see if the library will give me the password to their wifi so that I can use my phone to get emails. I should also mention that I do not enjoy the technology hassles. They frustrate me easily even in the U.S. I'm trying to remain calm.
