Internet Cafes: Getting Connected in Prague

The internet cafe scene in Prague has exploded over the past year.
No longer are nearly penniless backpackers forced to phone home on expensive cards begging for pivo funds to be wired; now these same folks, blessed with Hotmail accounts, can pop into any number of internet cafes scattered throughout the city and send home messages of good health and low cash flow easily and cheaply.
The cafes offer a range of atmosphere and services for the discerning technophile; some are in-and-out affairs--the electronic equivalent of McDonald's--while others invite you to sit back, drink a beer or a coffee, and chat with friends while you wait for a terminal to open up.
