Strangest Internet Cafes From Around the World

Ah, Internet Cafes … it used to be just a place where you can browse the Internet and grab a cup of coffee, but competition being what it is, some Internet cafes are offering something a little more than a cup of joe:

… Hungry? How about some taco?

No? How about some Rice and Pea?

… Or better yet, donuts!

… For those who are pressed for time: browse the Internet and do laundry at the same time!

Whatever you do, just don’t let these two find each other … the Internet will annihilate itself in a big flash of energy (or maybe not):

    crap...
    in my countrie's defense, I've seen better (worse) mix up of internet cafe + other business than cafe+laundromat :)

    seen one alongside a meatshop, whack monsters in an MMO while someone is chopping bloody pig parts not ten feet from you :)

    The great thing about the internet is that there's a lot of sarcastic people willing to ram you into another perspective. If that's your belief system
