                     CULTURE NOTE  Netto Kafe




                    Internet cafés in Japan are called netto kafe or nekafe, and
                    are  found  in  most  major  cities.  They  are  actually  very

                    complex.  In  addition  to  desktop  computers,  Internet
                    access,  and  drinks,  they  offer  tons  of  comic  books,

                    magazines,  and  DVDs  for  the  customers  to  read  and
                    watch as much as they want during their stay. They are
                    usually  open  24/7,  and  the  customers  are  charged  by

                    time. They offer some private rooms in different sizes so
                    the customers can read or watch undisturbed by others.

                    Some  netto  kafes  have  comfortable  reclining  chairs,
                    massage chairs, and shower rooms as well as billiards,
