Thế thì đông khách lắm

-----

A place (nơi) where you can pay staff to look over your shoulder (vai) to help you stop procrastinating.

Earlier this month, we got wind of a new weird (kỳ lạ) cafe opening in Tokyo, and this time it had nothing to do with cats, maids or bathhouses.

This new cafe, called Genko Shippitsu Cafe (“Manuscript Writing Cafe”), is all about writing (viết), and though you might be quick to think, “Isn’t any cafe primed for writing?” the drawcard here is that you have to be a writer on a deadline to enter, and what’s more, staff won’t let you leave until you meet your deadline.

As writers ourselves, we know how hard it can be to stay on track with tight turnarounds, so our reporter P.K. Sanjun stopped by the cafe to find out if paying staff to look over his shoulder would improve his concentration and writing speed.

When he arrived, he was surprised to find there were a lot of other writers in need of help with motivation too, as nearly every seat inside was taken.
