Last post, I've run out of photos and things to talk about.

In terms of arcade games, they're much closer to Japan as well. The arcade I visited a couple times had a Project Diva Arcade which was always up to date, they also had 8 Wangan Midnight 3dx+ cabinets, two Taiko 15 machines, beatmania, drummania, guitar freaks, some Initial D game, bunch of Gundam vs and 5 Gundam VR Pods.

I hear the other arcades have similarly up to date games, stuff like Jubeat. The prices are also absurd, all the games in this particular arcade cost 1 HKD, or 13 US cents. Project Diva was the most expensive and even then it cost 5 HKD, or 65 cents.

Also there's an AKB store in HK, I randomly discovered this whilst researching.

>How about the language barrier? Do I have to learn Cantonese?
HK used to be British territory until 1997, hence a large amount of the populat speak 'some' English, but in practice you'll find that the majority of people don't really speak English. The more....'cultural' a place is, the most likely they don't speak English. But if you go to the touristy places they'll probably speak some English.

>Also do the DVDs come with English subs?
No, they import goods from America but I don't think they import American anime goods. In fact I don't think I saw anime DVDs or BD much when I was over there.
