I've stayed in one of these overnight Japanese net cafes. They're absolutely amazing, with TV's libraries, a collection of DVDs, games and magazines. You can pay to shower, theres even a kitchen with food. That being said, It

As one of the resident HN muslim users I think I should mention that within the muslim community nearly everyone assumes they're under some kind of surveilance whether it be targeted or indiscriminate. I mean the fact that Faisal Gill

Everyone who wants to know where it is does. Alcohol in Saudi is like cocaine in America.
