though ive never seen the allure of playing spending hours in an internet place playing video games or what have you, there are many folks that do it incesantly. I have though, been to my fair share of these places during bouts of not having access to the internet or a computer, and mostly i have found it quite annoying because inevitably there are a bunch of kids sitting around being noisy.
well at this place, which is open 24 hours and located in koreatown near bathurst and bloor, it was SOOOO quiet it was kind of spooky. the lights were all turned down really low; if you had to read anything else besides your computer screen youd surely leave all bug-eyed.
for a half hour (perhaps a little bit more) it costs me a buck fifty. cheap by internet cafe standards. and though it always seems quite funny to me to call this place a cafe (as im sure that if i would have gone up to the korean guy up front and whispered to him that id like a cappucino, or even a cup of joe while i type away, the ominous silence in the room would explode into a cacophony of laughter and however many incarnations there are for the word "loser" in korean.)
but they seem to have a fair bit of asian and western junk food to keep your video game instincts at their sharpest i suppose. -

My friend and I had to go to this internet cafe because we had to use internet immediately to work on some school stuff. We got separate computers. Then I noticed the price was different. I paid a dollar more than she did. I went to the cash counter to tell the staff about the mistake. Then he said he didn't know I was Korean....... What....? Apparently they charge more if you're not Korean. What kind of a shameful business practice is that? And it's my fault for not announcing that I'm Korean.....?
At least the internet connection was good. It was quick and snappy. And the place was very clean. Seems like a cozy place to spend time playing World of Warcraft or whatever you're into.
