Check WalMart, which is everywhere. Also, drug stores, travel stores at truck stops. It doesn't matter where you are from.

Don´t you need to register with a telephone number or anything else? just to buy and use?

Thanks

If that becomes an issue, there are more and more places, such as McDonalds that offer free wifi spots for you to use your computer.
