   Singapore libraries are really annoying for foreigners because they don’t let you use the WiFi.

   Thailand at least gives you a 1 hour pass.

   Not that anyone asked but my ranking of public libraries in Asia

   1/ Taiwan

   2/ HK

   3/ Thailand

   4/ Laos (private libraries are cute, but hot…)

   4/ Vietnam (Bring your passport!)

   5/ Singapore

   I haven’t been to a library in Japan or S Korea. I tried working from a community center in Japan but I couldn’t figure how it works.

      Japan&#x27;s libraries allow cafes and bookstores to operate, which can increase traffic.
