Hello there.
I recently travelled in Europe and have been to a few cafes you listed. I checked
out your web page before leaving and took a copy of several cafes with me. Especially
in the areas I knew I would be travelling.
In Paris, Cristal Palace
has closed. Possibly for quite some time. Instead I went to Cyberia.
There the terminals were 20 Ffrancs for 20 minutes. The staff was not the most
helpful. I had never been confronted with an international keyboard, so I wasted
10 minutes searching for the stupid @ key. Also, several letters are transposed.
They really rushed me off the computer when my time was up.
In Munich
I went to Internet-Cafe. That was nice. I had tortellini,
2 cokes, and tiramisu for DM27. You are allowed to use the computer as you dine
or drink. Very relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff. The cokes were the most
expensive item on my bill (DM6- each!), but that is the case everywhere in Europe.
In Cologne,
I found the Internet Cafe. A techno DJ was playing there while I had a nice
mozzarella and tomato salad (with bread) and a coke for DM12. Again, free computer
time, and very helpful and interested staff.
In Holland, I used the
Cafe de Unie in Rotterdam. It has only one terminal at the
back, and you can use it whenever you want. It is not a busy place, at least
not while I was there. There was a problem finding the local server while I
was there, so I did not get any mail sent. I left a little frustrated.
I hope you can use my comments
for yor web page. Thank you for developing this site. It was a novel way of
keeping in touch with friends and family while I travelled. Although I still
wrote my share of postcards!
Sincerely,
Bryan Roach

Used
the Internet
Cafe in Amsterdam many times last summer.
Not such a great area, but the people were friendly and fun and helpful.
I spent many hours there, and it was a happy part of my vacation.
I was able to retrieve my email, send it, and chat with friends....and the cost
was very,very low.

Subject: cyberplaces in Florence and Cannes
I used your homepage of
cybercafes in Europe for my trip, but I found one or two places that weren't
on your list.
One is this book store, I think it's called CIMA librerie and inside is a cafe
and many terminals tucked away among the books. It was by far my favorite of
all the internet places. It's in Florence(Firenze) Italy, I think on Via del
Corso Borgo degli Albizi. It's right in the center of town.
The other place I discovered is in Cannes, France. It is a computer/software
store that sells internet use by the hour (although, be warned, they are all
bumbling idiots who don't know how to use their own equipment). It's called
Soft Computer at 14 rue Mimont, 06400 Cannes e-mail: soft.computer@wanadoo.fr
Hope I could help, Genny at Aglmmm@aol.com

Krakows Café Internet
(Aleja Slowackiego 29, +48(12) 33-91-44) offers everything a homesick traveller
could want. There are plenty of computers so you never have to wait.
Unlike other places Ive been to, the connections are really reliable and
very fast. On top of all of that, the people are as nice as any in Poland. Café
Internet cannot be recommended highly enough.
