Heard from friend in tokyo she said there are lots of fire happening all around tokyo

theres so many way dude...we cant say more...you and me are not the specialist in nuclear...
Whatever is ALERTs!

Due to family's pressure - I give up. Will be leaving back to KL tomorrow night (same pricing as smwah ~ RM2.7k). Losing out the 2 nights room + 2 days of free buffet breakfast + 2 tickets back to KL on 15th night + 2 seats booking + 1 international meal + a total of 35 kg of baggage weight allowance.

I sound ungrateful but damn, I really hate to cut this trip short. I WILL BE BACK JAPAN, 8.9 OR NOT! Argh!

At last safely return back to Malaysia. Bit disappointed that some our friends tried to contact our embassy but no reply. I also understand that Sg embassy provide extra flight details to their citizen regarding the departing from Haneda.I went to Haneda on Sat afternoon after make booking through AA. Never bother to change my return flight or call them any special discount, just book only. Reached Haneda on Sat afternoon, after taking airport limo bus at TCAT. Many ppl are waiting flight at the airport since some flight cancel on Friday. I tried to check any airline flying out from Jap but unfortunately none, at least one ANA standby flight. They did tried their best to help to check but the price is about 530K yen (RM 21K) for 2 person. No choice had to wait for Sunday nite flight. Wait wait wait....... Ppl there seem very stable not in very panic.
Go to move, bcoz the condition is unpredictable. Who knows suddenly come again.
Again those Jap ppl really good in order. No one really take advantage or doing nasty around. I were trapped at subway, one aunty offer us some bread to eat. So nice. If ppl in malaysia, sure we would keep for ourself.
Did learn things during earthquake,  life is so important, humanity is great, you see how ppl there react helping each others it just make u feel ashame yourself. Human always human, you can't get away from the mother nature
sorry ik3da, i not in time inform you regarding the transport to haneda, anyway glad you are back as well.

Better cancel ur trip coz my japanese fren who staying in tokyo told me japan in serious situation and she as well, another fren who jz continue his plan to tokyo last 2 days had sms me that most of the shop are closed, lack of electricity.. even fren who work in hokkaido also told me can feel abit earthquake. they all told me is not the timing to go japan as my flight is on 3rd of april, i am going to cancel my flight, should be no problem to get refund.

i dont think japan still beautiful like last time, went there jz waste $$..

On the contrary, world opinion seems to be in awe of the Japanese spirit:

Why Is There No Looting in Japan
Quake response showcases Japan's resilient spirit

Most other forums I read seem to echo this view. Most posters are respectful of the tragedy unfolding. Most do not say:

i would like to apologize if my words leading u guys misunderstanding.
i used to go japan. no matter wat happen japan still no.1 country in my heart, no matter is their technology or personality.
eventhough i cancelled my flight, but i din change my plan to korea see sakura, i will wait for next year sakura season go to japan again.

when earthquake happened in japan all my fren n parents warned me not to go japan, but i still stubborn wan to go. because earthquake is natural diasister, if god want us to die now, we cant change it..

but now i had changed my mindset after all my japanese frens adviced me not to go japan right now.
due to radiation, lots of foods had sold out, and japanese need so much of food n water. and they need to buy mineral water to drink. unless we bring our food to japan, else we dun wan to eat.. we need to think for japanese as well..

i was cried when i saw the news and kept on contact my japanese frens til they all msg me that they are fine. if wat am i said had let u guys misunderstanding then i would like to said sorry.

wondering when can I go there.. aisey...my colleague went there for 3 weeks and only spend RM 5k all in..dude..I need to take advice from him

Like this what is the point visit Tokyo except number 4. Sleeping inside capsule really fun. Like inside spaceship

6pm is like 7-8pm in Malaysia

I went there for the first time in 2009, spent around 2.7K for 11 days. Note : I don't spend much on food and the costing does not included shopping. Yes, shopping in Japan is expensive in general.

Capsule is not the cheapest paid accommodation option, in average it would cost around 3-4K Yen. Internet cafe is around half of that with unlimited free drinks.

Don't know if he is just being sarcastic but just in case you need to know, there are many ways to cut back a lot if you are there for a long stay.

1. Yes, have good walking shoes. It's not that far between 2 or three train stops. Even in winter, walking keeps you very warm. Group all your distance travel in town on the same day and use an all day pass. Take the slower train or bus from the airport. Don't ever miss the last train at night or the necessary connections.

2. Those are not really cheap and you might get malnourished. Try to get lodging where you have some way to heat up food like a microwave or even kettle. Then you can get inexpensive stuff from the supermarket like eggs, sausages, make your own sandwiches to carry out for meals. Look for late afternoon, late evening clearance tagged fresh food items. The convenience stores usually have cooked eggs, dried meat/seafood snacks, fried chicken pieces. You can have these for the price of onigiri. Try the free samples in the food section of department stores early evening.

3. Fill a used plastic drink bottle and carry it with you. Fill with tea, coffee, milk or juice when you leave and then refill on the street from drinking fountains or even restroom taps. Buy soft drinks (and many other things) in the 100 yen shops.

4. Look in the free English tourist magazine listings for a guest house room to rent by the week. Some Japanese stay overnight in train station corridors but probably only if they are waiting for the first train. If you must do it, don't look too shabby to attract police checks. See if there is a manga shop nearby where you can sleep on a chair overnight for a small price. Luggage can go into station coin lockers.

Travelling in Japan, be proud to be a cheapskate; blowing a big load of Malaysian cash will not compare with what Japanese spend when they want to impress!

3 week with rm5k cannot meh? Even those living in Japan doesnt spend rm5k for 1 month including their rent and stuff.

It's on 8th April. Still 2 weeks to go. But judging from earlier statement, I don't see a reason anymore to cancel it. I guess the statement by RegentCid scared me a little 

yea...Tokyo is quite safe....I think I go there even one month, the radiation level that I absorb will not reach the level for one time CT scan...(hopefully)

Oh you really knows hiroko. indeed she is my brother wife.  They registered in November and shinto ceremony last sunday 20 march. my whole family went to tokyo to attend the ceremony. How you you know hiroko? You know hiroko well?

ya i already say not good time to go now but some people still 1 argue. If cancel then cannot get refund no choice la. Alot thing cancel wont enjoy full

Yesterday go shinjuku time suppose brightly colored but all close light look like very boring city. Still i enjoy the "service"
