...roughly means “leeching at internet cafe”.
We are NetChùa!, a grassroots platform for art, knowledge sharing, and gaming. We use internet cafes as budget-friendly venues to stream time-based art, display our monthly gallery selections and host e-sports activities. Our events are held both on-site and online via our website NetChùa!
