    Korean internet cafes(pc방) are NOT going anywhere.

    Yes. They serve a whole meal right to your seat.

      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?
