A cybercafe is a cafe, coffee or espresso shop, or similar food and/or beverage-serving place
that has a number of personal computers connected to the Internet and available for use by
customers. Some cybercafes allow customers to use the computers at no charge; others charge by the
hour or fraction of an hour. In September, 1997, there were estimated to be more than 1,000
cybercafes internationally. By 2001, there were perhaps tens of thousands, with at least one in
almost every small community in many countries. In cities such as Beijing, China; Kathmandu, Nepal;
and Florence, Italy, there are now chains of cybercafes.
If you travel and need access to the Internet, a cybercafe might be one solution. Call ahead and
find out location and hours. If possible, reserve a computer at a certain time.
