I was wondering that if I bought a computer in Japan will it have a keyboard in japanese? And all the settings in japanese? If so is it possible to buy an english computer and still be fully compatible with the japanese broadband [if that's what it's called over there :/]

Plus is the "Electric Town" in Tokyo as good as it looks?

OgreMill,

Yes, unless you buy a PC with English OS and keyboard from one of the more specialist shops in Akihabara or elsewhere in Tokyo.

If so is it possible to buy an english computer and still be fully compatible with the japanese broadband [if that's what it's called over there :/]

Yes.

Plus is the "Electric Town" in Tokyo as good as it looks?

Good for what?

Japanese keyboards have lettering on them as a standard:

The internet is the internet no matter where you go in the world, a cat5 Ethernet input is the same in Japan as it is in India, Canada or Australia.

When i say the internet is the same I mean the means of input and connection, not to what content is accessible via the internet.

I was just wondering if it's true that you can get electrical goods for a fraction of the regualr price.
