uploading photo's onto site while travelling

I assume you're taking a card reader in order to move your pictures from memory card to laptop. If so, take a small memory card and use it and the card reader to move edited/size reduced pictures and text from your laptop to the cafe computer for uploading.

Might be a good idea to use a separate memory card for transfer between computers. The last thing that you should do before removing the card/card reader from the cafe computer is to delete everything on the card. That should get rid of any virus that might try to jump from the cafe computer to your laptop.

My advise: invest in a PSD and save yourself a lot of headaches!

Most internet cafes in SEA have 6-12 computers full of game-palying teens sharing one DSL or dial-up connection. Your upload speed will be incredibly slow. In one instance, it took over 20 minutes and 2 re-boots to upload a very small (100K) file as an e-mail attachment.

Imagine trying to upload a GB while your kids are waiting for you!

If you really want to upload your images, then you should take your laptop and stay at hotels with high-speed DSL connections at every room.

To get an idea of upload speed, you can do this at home: take a full memory card, and try uploading that to a photo storage site using your laptop and home connection. That will be the best-case scenario. See if you're happy with the upload speed.

I don't know what a "communication card" is, but if you have a laptop and your photos are not too gigantic, you should be able to find a way to upload them. Wifi is more and more common in southeast Asia (pervasive in Singapore and Malaysia), and there are always net cafes where you can connect to their network.

I would recommend doing it in increments rather than waiting too long and trying to do a million photos at once.

Last night I started uploading about 1400 photos (ranging between 3 and 6 megapixels) over a private DSL line and it took 16 hours before it was finally done. If I'd done 50 or 60 at a time it would have been no big deal.

I'd agree with #2 - take 2 PSD's and backup your pictures onto the units. Take 2, just in case one (for any reason) fails or gets stolen.

Uploading pictures from internet cafe's in Asia will be a long and painful process (unless, as #3 points out), the pictures are small and there's only a few to be uploaded.

The OP was asking to update a website, hopefully not to upload all their photos.

If you have a laptop just store everything on there and resize photos for your website on your laptop.
Then copy them onto a blank card and use a card reader at the internet cafe. Try and resize your photos for the web to small filesize, to minimise upload time.
