Not only are coffee shops a good place to get a cup of espresso, they are also a great location to have a quick meeting with a customer, take a short break, and &#8211; most importantly for the business traveler &#8211; get online to check your email. Many caf\u00c3\u00a9s are now equipped with WiFi, or wireless internet. So while you sip on your latte or your mocha, you can surf the web and keep connected. <\/p>\n<p>But despite people&#8217;s attempts to make WiFi services user-friendly, or easy to use, they are sometimes difficult to connect to. So in this lesson, we&#8217;ll not only look at ordering coffee, we&#8217;ll also practice troubleshooting an internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>For today&#8217;s lesson, we&#8217;ll be rejoining our friend Honesto as he stops by a coffee shop at the airport.
