Akihabara and places like that may be a danger for foreign tourists,
and _as such_ they should stay away!

"maybe" is not correct in the above; it must be "may be". "Maybe"
means "perhaps", where "may be" means "might be".

Does that make sense, Nguyen?
It really does, thanks!
Perhaps there is some problem with my keyboard: The space key sometimes doesn't work :)
