tokyo by bicycle - good or bad idea ?

If you are good with navigation skills, why not? I personally wouldn't risk getting lost with the bike.

no prob at all as long you know where to park? how to repair? and own complete bikes!
I did it with singlespeed

At Japan, parking bicycle also need to pay.....

wow, now exchange rate already near rm4.....confirm cannot go yet lah like this hahahaha

tanoshi, the bikes looks nice! but the price

Now at Tokyo even at Night 12am.....outside Temp still 31C.....WTH.......Is same as Malaysia afternoon temp

wokey wokey am new here. Am planning to visit the country, what's the importants and interesting stuff i need to do, do fill me, thankx!!

Most important thing first you need to do is apply Visa.

To apply Visa:
1st you must have Passport [ 6 month alive date before expired]
2nd you need a Bank Statement show you your bank account have minimum Rm6,000 Saving.

After got Visa then only we can discuss the interesting part of Japan.

Photocopy yes but has to be CTC by the bank.

2 person going - 2 bank a/c to be shown in respective traveller's name.

Being a father can be really exhausting but really good experience and fun
Hows your daughter doing? What's her name?

@ALL
I'm going to migrate to Japan for good by end of Nov. Its confirmed! Any advice for new alien? I'm wondering what is the cheapest way to send money back to Malaysia as I still have bills to pay on monthly basis. TT is expensive and based on my research I found out Postbank would be the cheapest method. Any other way? Im thinking of using Paypal too. I would prefer to transfer straight to my Maybank acct

ohayo gozaimasu minasan~

I'll be heading to Japan, Tokyo for about 3 months (Nov-Jan) and would like to ask you guys how much yen should I bring along. The travel is for work so accommodation, meals and transportation will be covered. The extra cash will be for personal expenses. Knowing it'll be winter season during the trip, prices should be steep, right?

Hope to get some rough estimate from the senpais here. Maybe arrange a meeting with any Malaysians living in Japan too

arigatou gozaimasu..

Since all priorities are covered then you shouldn't worry a thing because those are the main concern. Cant tell you how much to bring for personal usage because that is entirely up to you whether you party like a rockstar, geek staying put in the room playing game, or whatever that you do really depends on you. Im not sure about price increase during winter, you may ask the sifus here.

Ohh btw I'll be living there by that time

Hey, nasizwan. Why aren't you in GU anymore?!

Well, I don't party like a rockstar and I'm part geek and part traveler. So most likely I'll be going about with my camera on tow and visit places of interest. My Japanese is just basic so communicating with the locals will be limited

Don't really have a list of things to buy (yet) but it won't be a lot I am sure.

Where will you be staying in Japan? Maybe we can meet up over the weekend or something.

Ada la dkt GU but haven't log in lately lol. Traveling across country would cost a lot especially on bullet train but if its just around the city then its fine. My Japanese suck hard but I'll be living there soon so just imagine. I'm gonna register to language school for the first few months when I get there.

"It won't be alot" Trust me you'll think differently when you see their merchandise cause that's what happened to me LOL

Im going to stay at Shinjuku-ku. What about you? Sure we'll plan something up!

Err. Don't think I'll be doing cross-country trips (would be nice though ) Should be just around Tokyo.
I'm attending basic Japanese class now. Should help a bit during my stay there. Or you can just bring your wife along everywhere you go
Oh ya. Intro some kawaii friends if we do meet

I know the dangers of impulse buying (especially at Akihabara). So I'll be cautious on the spending. I hope/must!

Not sure which area I'll be at yet. Still awaiting details from bosses.

You going at Winter Season....Jan was most coolest season....

Due to so cold you won't go outdoor much ; only go if necessary only ...so you won't spent big...hahaha

Seriously? Ah, dang! There goes my shopping spree..

But being the curious me, cold weather won't stop me from going out.
Maybe spend more on hot chocolate or something.

Thanks for the heads up though.
