what the faggotry r u doin goin all the way to Kobe for MTG? (屮゜Д゜)屮 щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

so i guess we will arrive on the same AAX flight that very day eh? I got my promo tix for ~rm600. I havent add the foodz n luggage yet. still packing.
My itinerary isnt complete yet, but i guess i may end up w/ 7-day JR pass as going from Kyoto to Hiroshima/Miyajima needs shinkansen as the distance is so great. Thus i need to make a trip to tokyo/nagoya to make the pass worthwhile.
my plan for everything all in is within rm6k for 15days. let see how it goes.
Money exchange is at 100jpy = 4.01 i hope it will go 3.9 by next weekend when i want to change.


@RegentCid:
Lets hope the weather is good. i have bought some heavyduty zipbag to wrap my dslr for cold/humid temp preparation lol

Im going there mainly for relax, jalan2 n photography.
No intention for shopping other than tidbits souvenirs. Maybe buy some lens if theres good bargain.

You can buy the pass from J-Horizons, n exchange the reciept w/ reall Pass at KIX

^if you are not travelling far n use the shinkansen, skip the JR-Pass and buy the ICOCA card instead(touch n go over there) n load monies in it.
It would be cheaper to use ICOCA and *day all-in-1 passes in each respective cities

It depends on what you wanna see/visit and whats ur plan.
Heck Kyoto to Tokyo is just 3hrs 1 way shinkansen trip, Thus you can actually take the shinkansen at 7+am, arrive in tokyo/shinagawa by 10+am,go visit meidokissa for some weeaboo experience points, n depart by 8pm to arrive in Kyoto before midnight. for Best result, have a night or two in tokyo so u can visit Nakano-broadway,Ikebukuro,TokyoBigSight to name a few

As long u got rm7k in ur bank, n u visit ur bank to get some bankstatement, high chance u can get visa
You got Wed-Fri next week to settle this

Halal food is not just about no Buta.
theres a whole lot more, you may refer to Kosher as well.
For me, its all down to seafoods n Turkish/Pakistani restaurant

Anyay, those who have decided to get JR-pass, but dont know where to get it, you can try J-Horizons (http://j-horizons.com.my/)

I went to the Kiara/Hartamas office the the lady is very nice.
*Actually i already bought from em 2yrs ago as well.

JR-Pass (adult)

21days : y57700 / rm 2365

hay gais in tokyo, lets go Tsukiji for breakfast on next Sat morning? (good idea?)

OK gais.. will be departing early tomorrow morning
wish me luck to survive w/ 94Kyen for 15days

The Japan god must hate me much for some reason, as this is my 2nd Kansai trip, n its full of rain n fail ;__;
Today im off to Hiroshima...

if u want hose kind of ryokans, sadly to say you wont get those in generic city such as osaka.
not sure if u can try shiga, hakone, but best bet u need to go so far on the alps for those(hit springs villages) or west japan, as even suburbs of big cities wont give you that

Jom Phyzz, esok pagi breakfast at tsukiji?

sigh.. maybe next time i guess
i'll be leaving tokyo for takayama early tomorrow morning, n work my way down to shiga,wakayama,ise n off via KIX on 26th

Just started processing my shots. Still at day3. Long way to go

Thanks
The wideangle shots are using sigma 28F1.8 n all night shots 28mm are done with tripod n remote shutter release.
The ones with 85mm are using 85F1.4 zeiss.
Its troublesome to switch around prime lenses n miss some moments :|

Kyoto shots arent that nice as the weather was continuously bad
Lets see how fast i can select pics of other following prefectures n upload

as long its not by the side of the road, you should be fine anywhere.
protip would be parks and riverbanks.
the more popular place u go, the more crowded w/ humans will it be

thanks
but to other photogs, my shots are somewhat generic n normal.
i jelly ur dry kansai, as my kansai (1st 3days) was full of wet n fail


Here's a shot of Hiroshima
