Getting connected with Mr Katupat

I met Mr Katupat on my way to a generator on another island which we could use to power a private telecom antenna. Unfortunately, the entire village realised that this foreigner trumped the availability of a network connection before I got a change to get a phone connection, so I was not able to use the mobile phone antenna as only five connections were possible at a time. But to experience this way of life has proved to be more valuable than my phone call.
