Internet cafe

There are several Internet cafes in my city.

You can have and refill soft drinks or coffees with these machines.

If you want, you can add sugar, honey, chocolate syrup and what not to your glass.

There are many kinds of mangas that cater to your taste.

This is how a seat looks like. You can order food with the phone on the wall.


To those who like mangas very much, an Internet cafe is a place they drop by often. There are tons of books available at such a cafe and they range from the latest magazines to very old mangas. And you can have as many soft drinks as you like, which is called the "drink bar", while you are at the cafe.

Today, almost all young people have a computer at home, so you may wonder they have to go to an "Internet" cafe, but there are some online video games that are playable only there, so people who don't own such a video game would go there.

They charge you about 300 yen for staying there for about half an hour, and additional 100 yen for another 20 minutes or so. And if you order food, such as rice and curry, you have to pay for it as well when you leave the cafe.
