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!

If you're electronic freaks then Akihabara is the place. Im a shoe freak i bought 4 pairs costing nearly rm2k lol. My wife is my walking dictionary but I need to learn how to survive myself tho cant take her along with me all the time. If you have some extra off day try visit places other than Tokyo, maybe Kyoto, Osaka or Yokohama. Kawaii friends are mostly my wife's friends so need to ask her.

Like RegentCid said, Jan~Feb is the coldest period so be prepared to bring thick winter clothes. My advice bring one is sufficient and buy the rest in Japan because you'll find more options, stylish, plus cheaper compared to outdated winter clothes in Malaysia. I don't mind going out in winter I love cold weather! I'm planning to go to Niigata prefecture in January for snow boarding

Korea the neighbour country is worst. It can go up to -11 Celsius. Don't mention Russia or Ukraine -20 Celsius or more but people still go out

@tatsuya
which part of Japan are you living at the moment? are you there for good?

@tanoshi
scary gila imam dia.. maybe yakuza turned good hahaha.

so guys any info about sending back money cheaply but efficient?

Sending back to Malaysia from Japan bro. I need to find efficient way to send back money instead of expensive TT.

Hahaha I feel you bro. I had to take EL once because baby kept crying the whole bloody night until 6 a.m and at that point of time you regret for having a baby. Eye bag is our new makeup look


Honestly speaking its REALLY packed. You will be rushing everywhere instead of enjoying the view

I had my brunch at Tsukiji on my previous visit and yes we had to queue for almost an hour! lol but you'll be getting super fresh seafood meal which I guess worth it for a try. Price wise, not too cheap mine was almost 2000 yen equivalent to almost RM80 at current exchange rate.

About your Japan itinerary, it really depends on you. If you don't mind rushing everywhere then you might go for it. I, myself like to take things slow, enjoy the view, take lots of photos etc and like heterosapiens said, you gonna need to walk A LOT! So why don't you try do some walking marathon preparation lol

Yen to MYR is currently close to 0.0395 thats crazy! almost 4 already

It will be sadder if it reach 4.0 and above! Sad for all of us who wants to travel to JP

good job deodorant!

crap.. so expensive. easier for you to convert when buying things tho lol

replied to you bro!
I'm leaving for good early Dec

Nice to meet you too
Are you in JP at the moment?

Naissss.. which part?

Tokyo is big which area? I have to ask one by one
I'll be in Tokyo too for good come Dec

That's great.. I'll be working there (still looking) lol and will be staying at shinjuku-ku. So where do you work/study?

Above 1k is still consider cheap.
Apply online? That's NOT possible. You need to submit all your docs along with your passport.

15mins now maybe. Previously I had to wait 2~3 hours I guess it depends on luck and timing.

Some will do but are you willing to entrust your travel agent to hold you passport.
You can also apply it at the JP consular office located in Johor & Penang.

Yeah that was a year ago. Last 2 months I went it was 10~15mins like you said.

Holy crap market rate YEN to MYR is currently 4.183. I bet currency exchange store sells at 4.2x This will be a pain in the butt

+10000
I wonder why all these people keep asking the same questions when they can actually google themselves. If those answers are unavailable then everyone here would gladly help

Yeahh haven't seen musha around maybe he's busy planning his wedding with his J-girlfriend

Yes WHITE only. Try submit with blue background if you want them to return it to you. Go to photo studio and request white background

Anyone had international driving license and drove in JP previously? I need someone to shed some light on this matter. What are the procedures to obtain it?
