If you’re crazy about getting
connected to your social media all
the time, you might want to consider
getting your free Wifi access in

lives of the citizens.
You’ve probably seen futuristic anime
set in Japan. As you can see, it’s not
that far from reality. Everywhere
you look, you’d see how advanced
the city is. They have a sci-fi cuisine
to its advanced railway system, you
