Only in Hong Kong
(Hong Kong: Hong Kong Island)

January 2008
Hong Kong: Hong Kong Island: Only in Hong Kong

The ad reads: "The most expensive keyboard in the world. This rare masterpiece is made of 105 ivory keys, painted in pure gold with a brush made of virgin's hair. Price HK$86,447." That's US$11,500, for a really ugly-looking computer keyboard. Anywhere else, I'd think it's a joke. But in Hong Kong it makes perfect sense.
