Ok, lol, i guess if i find one, which one has more pirates though?

Well, there's really no set number, it's all just a matter of knowing where to go.  If you don't already have anywhere in mind, you're going to have a tough time finding anything at all.  Whenever you hear of pirate originals, you usually hear "HK original", so Hong Kong would be my vote, I guess.

Someone who lives in Hong Kong told me the pirates are expensive and hard to find. They're hard to find in Taiwan, too, but they're cheap. I actually only found one table in an open market with pirates in Taiwan, but I bought tons of carts because they had a bunch of good ones.

My vote goes to Taiwan, too.
I only hear good stuff about Taiwan and want to go there myself at some point in time.

Hong Kong can converse in English better than the Taiwanese. ;D

Going by recent experience Taiwan seems to be the place! Of course though Taiwan is just a generalization, there's tons of different areas over there and depending on where you go you could end up with nothing interesting in sight. I still wonder what the ideal part of Taiwan would be for pirates.

I used to want to go to Dalian in China as I've heard there's a lot of pirates over there. Shenzhou also.

In Taiwan I'd think Taipei, the capital is probably the best place. I could be wrong, though.

I have chosen, TAIWAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nightstar699

Good choice. Again. Please find me q boy! Trade for pika!

Cool, when are you going? And have you chosen which part yet?  :)

Taiwan's tiny. If you spend a week there, you could hit most of it. But yeah, I'd think Taipei would be best. And look in markets. There aren't many video game stores with Famicom stuff. I stayed with a Taiwanese friend there and we couldn't find any. Online gaming is big there.

thx for the advice JC, i think i will be going to Taipei, i will be going this summer, i will also be going to akihabara in japan!!! Cant wait!!
