Looking at the Indian ones, i have a strong feeling that most of this is stereo-typed. Images shot to show something the photographer already feels strongly about, as in how things should be rather than documenting how things really are, probably.
No doubt that i can find cyber cafe’s in a broken bus on the highway in india but thats more of an exception than the norm.
Personally, i know of Cyber cafe joints in Chennai that beat the crap out of the ones in Singapore. In fact the one i’m going to this sunday for a meeting has free unlimited broadband internet. They make their money selling snacks, food, coffee and sheesha. Its more of a hippie concept coffee bar/cyber cafe + teen hangouts kind of a place.
I think “Weird Internet Cafe’s around the world” would be more of an appropriate title :)
