I have a Question to anyone who reads it.

Im from Europe where like local Café dominate. You can sit outside watch people and chill. We have Starbucks but that’s it.

But when I was in Japan it was different there where so many chains and to find a Café where you could sit outside was like a Odyssee

I just wanna ask how is it in your Country. Do you have more chains or do you have local owned business. I wanna know what your country is like.

One thing I must say is that in Europe Café shops are more places to relax chill talk or better to say „not to Talk“and just seize the moment. T.T sry I missed them a lot in Japan

Cafe? what's that? But yeah, from my country, Cafe is more like a Cafe but feels different, because there's a Cafe for community, a real deal Cafe, some brand start with a Star end with a buck and a different entirely Cafe, well most of them arent even a "Cafe" but the concepts and the purposes are the same. And it's "Ropang"

TL;DR
ROPANG, WARKOP, WAROKBAR, WARTEG, ETC.... (you name it)

I usually clean it with water and dry it thoroughly until it's healed. If it turns into a blister I just yolo it and pop that shit with the sharp end of my tweezers. Never gotten infected before.

Getting running socks has helped a lot though. Doesn't even happen anymore.

Cafes are peak snobbery.

The real high culture can be found in Gentlemen’s Clubs.

Or you could just learn to brew your own coffee instead of letting some grad student do it for you.

For a while in America at least, Starbucks was generally mocked for its association with hipster culture. Things like Unicorn Frappuccino's were a running joke with people I knew. And, even now, Those places mostly bring to mind snobby snobs and college kids.

No offense to college kids.

Why would I trust would I trust some shitty American company to make my tea when I have the literal masters of fucking tea making via family friends. We get highgrade green tea leaves from China every month from my family who live there. We also have some hand made Chinese tea sets. I’ve been learning to make it myself from my grandparents for now I just drink their pots too. Honestly I will never get black tea it’s like drinking charcoal.

I don't think there really is a café culture where I live, people just go and grab a coffee, maybe some bread, eat, pay and leave.

Cafe culture in America is quite boring, to be honest. At least, if I compare that to Vietnam's coffee culture. There's at least one coffee shop on every street you walk on. It's so hot over there that you are offered free barley tea every time you order something, be it coffee or juice. At least all the ones I went to was like that. People, adults or teenagers, students or company workers, sit there for a while to chitchat and enjoy their drinks. The atmosphere is either ambient or exciting, depending on what shop you go to. Or just lean back on a long chair and watch cars go by. Oh, did I mention that the girls are cute?

Besides your typical coffee shops, there are also other fancier boba and juice shops. Many are designed for groups of friends to sit together and hangout. You go to the top floors, 2nd or 3rd, take a seat near the window, and watch the night view of the city, or the streets. And... bringing laptop into a coffee shop is mostly an American thing, I believe. Phones, sure. Tablets, maybe. But laptops, I rarely see them. Some older people, usually men, gather at coffee shops to drink coffee and watch soccer together.

Oh, and American coffee is nothing compared to Vietnamese coffee. FACT!

Gee, it’s almost like a melting pot wouldn’t have a distinct flavor.

Something about how there’s no central culture because there’s so many different people here, for better or worse.

edit: Why can’t I spell?
