      Same thing with Japan! Some people even live inside cafes. Internet cafes will still have a niche and function to fulfill, even if they aren’t the same as what they were originally in the 90s.

        Absolutely! They’re the perfect place to crash after a night of drinking but you’ve missed the last train and can’t go home

      Fascinating! Never seen anything like this before.

      Do they charge by the minutes spent there + extras or is this a membership thing?

    These are never really going away. So long as business travelers need a place to take a phone call or get decent internet. You’re going to have Regus or something like we work continuing.

    Airport lounges are good examples of internet cafes that still exist.
