Internet Cafe Refugee Epidemic Hits Japan

At least they aren't out on the street doing drugs and committing crime. I actually think that this is a good thing. What is wrong with someone coming in off the street and getting cleaned up, catching some zzz's and checking email before they go back out? How many of us only spend that much time at home?

If I were a Japanese day laborer, I'd do it, too.
