Yes you can IF you have Hotspots or are close to a wireless router that you can hack into by getting the WEP key.  Hell..sometimes people do not use encryption so you may be lucky. 

If all of this is foreign language then unfortunately the answer is no...you cannot get internet anywhere you want.

If you want to go further use KISmac and check out

There are others out there too.

From anywhere? Not quite, but almost.  You need a wireless broadband card.
