I'm grateful to live in a third world country, so I don't have to worry about VPNs or legal issues when reading pirated books, comics, or anime.

Still tho, the internet is awfully slow and gaming is quite laggy as the ping is too high, unless you're paying at least the equivalent $100 a month. The average wages here is less than $500 a month.
