can either stay in hotel or in rented apartments. i booked my hotel through agoda flash deals. they booked apartment via airbnb. since you're 3 ppl one of the things u can do is get a twin room(not double) and get an extra bed if u wanna try hotel. there are a lot of budget backpackers hotels with cheap rooms (shared bathroom). it's best to get a place close to a train station since you'll be walking there a lot.

hotels:
http://www.booking.com
http://www.worldhotelsdeal.com (to check agoda prices since agoda.com doesn't list by price)

rent apartment:
http://www.airbnb.com
http://www.roomorama.com

also: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2419732 lots of good info there

if your spending habits are like mine or less, should be no prob. when r u going?

yup, i dont think we held back on our spendings. really enjoyed the trip haha

hi! that was really unexpected. really thought u were japanese thanks for the photo shot

@radkiller thanks for coming down to tokyo. heard u were staying further north. was nice meeting u

no idea yet. however i doubt i'll be having heavy shopping save for a headphone that's just released at japan by audio technica few months ago because most, if not all of the things i've want i already have/shipped/proxied it (just spent almost 1k shipping some stuff through exiled gundam lol).

the headphone's that's around 2.5k+
could be cheaper if i can find a good deal or possibly a used (i doubt, since its still damn new)

Was fun running around Tokyo for 2 days.

And yeah, I'm living in Saitama, which makes me very reluctant to attend Comiket since the train fares are absurd.

the first thing that came across my mind was fresh meat instead of processed can food.

hey there, thx for helping with the photo.

ok, so that's how u save?

how life for now?

Haha actually thinking back.. if I will still use the same budget as the previous JP trip, most probably end of this year already can go again

btw my total spending on toys, doujins, collectibles there is 71,550 yen; my total cash there was 131,000 yen

compare to u guys, my spending on collectibles around 50,000 yen only...
i think i spent most on foods and souvenirs...
its very scary when i count how much i spent on souvenirs

EG, wanna go again this dec?
yesterday i was impulsively thinking of going again this winter haha

Nope.. will save for 2014 (hopefully) instead so I can spend more

spring or summer 2014 ?

Winter maybe But well dunno yet actually

Jom akiba every day. LOL
