As a person interested in computers, are there any places you would recommend I must visit? For example any keyboard-related shops that I must drop by? Would be happy to receive advice on this!

Post by: nar on Tue, 10 June 2014, 05:01:33: Well default answer if you want to be near a lot of places to buy/try keyboards is Akihabara. I haven't been here that long (and I've been busy ever since so haven't had as much time to explore) so if there's any specifically interesting places for keyboards (Like the more hidden places in HK) then we're probably better off asking hasu.

If you want something not as keyboard related then if you have any ideas I can probably think of a place (or ask some of my friends here who've been living here much longer than me)

Post by: hydrospell on Tue, 10 June 2014, 08:22:06: I'm happy to meet up and have a drink :) Doesn't have to be keyboard related. Don't mind also if we do, can be a drop by the keyboard shops, take a look, then go get coffee or beer whichever is nicer in Japan!!!
