eggpurple29 503 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 \ The Lost Generation of Japanese Internet Cafe Kids Japanese internet cafes are good. So good that people are living there – literally. Japanese internet cafes (also known as manga cafes) offer comfortable lay-flat chairs. They’re semi-private and have food, showers, free drinks and ice cream, a massive library of books, manga, video games, magazines and movies. They even have internet! It’s cheap to stay over night in an internet cafe. Often it’s around 1000~2000 yen ($10-20 USD). Some young Japanese live in the cafes for weeks, months or even years. Moving from cafe to cafe each night. Most internet cafe kids are engaged in casual employment of some kind. Many find the cafes a convenient alternative to an expensive Tokyo or Osaka apartment. They may also lack the down payment that’s required for an apartment (key money, deposit and agent fees often total 6 months rent). Most internet kids aren’t truly homeless. Many could easily live with parents or relatives but find the cafes convenient. Manga cafes — unlimited free sugar, video games, movies, manga. Many kids may feel it’s better than home.

lovely_me 3,237 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I know about such Cafes. and I heard they are rlly popular. Since the Flats in Japan are expensive and little, ppl dont like to be at home, so they go out and stay at such cafes or Karaoke Bars. For me, yes I would have to have such Cafes here in my Country. I like to Travel, and earlier (and now) i dont have much money for Hotel to stay. So I myself slept in Metro stations, McDonald´s (whitch closed to early for me), in front of Hotels and so on. If we would have something like that here, i would have known where to stay over night. + Internet and more safe than sleep on street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio224 300 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Where you gonna take a girl back to? After a night of fun saying "yea girl let's go back to my cafe" is just lame..and most likely you won't get no action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
