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
wow!
Fascinating! Never seen anything like this before.
Do they charge by the minutes spent there + extras or is this a membership thing?
That sounds like something gamers will add to their “tourist destination”.
Here in Japan they charge by the hour, with discounts if you prepay for 3, 5, or 8 hours
