B/F,

Makes sense utilizing the Asian/Euro/Latin American simus to draw the specific ethnic trade that has interest there. (Much like the Latin and European soccer cafes you find in NY, Montreal, Chicago, etc.). As an example, in Montreal at the Hippo Clubs, they began operating midnight-8am playing Hong Kong, Australia and Japan, and drew huge Asian crowds... But as Paul Moran suggests, the facilities need to be sumptuous.. or at least comfortable.
