ahh your welcomee

anyway, i think if one was not too careful of their spendings, its a bit dangerous 

in japan, 100 yen is about RM4.00 +/- ... that one also pkai duit syiling only.. 500 yen coin is already RM20.. two 500 yen coin already RM40.

because their nature is coin, people also tend to treat it as coin value    myself included 

in the end, this got me to thinking.. if one were to work in japan, and bring all the money back to Malaysia... millionaire? 
just think of it, japanese people can easily buy things worth 600-800 yen like per ramen bowl, then if they come here as tourists, yen value also very strong..

because what has been a stereotype thinking of malaysian people was, to work in UK or US where the currency is stronger, than come back become millionaire just because multiply by exchange rate. I guess Japan should also be one of those choices?

You haven't stay in Japan before...One normal job salary only enough cover those water , electrical , tel bill only....not enough for eat.  You can ask 10 people who work before in Japan...ask them what is the life....and come back to malaysia can be Millionaire? ...
nahhh...

all the way to eat McDonald's???...ahhahaah....

if you are on thrift mode...it's always great to find

a) late night suppers; sandwiches, onigiri, or bentos that you can reheat in your dorm for morning munchies. Mostly discounted over late evenings...so, best time to hunt.

b) also the not so healthy choice would be buying your noodle and cooking there.

c) on weekdays, there are some areas that you can see blue collar shirt worker going for lunch. Those areas are the cheapest of the cheapest..
I usually eat at $400-500 yen for an enormous amount of just buckwheat noodle, and a cup of occha.

Been there, done that...eventhough I have fixed allowance of Y$8000 per day just for food and misc.

ya ya i know that one.. but that aside, i mean if money in yen could be saved bit by bit, and then one day come back to msia can become kaya also right?
ohh bukann.. I also Muslim.. not many choices to eat    I forgot about that point.. thats why go mcd only ..they use vegetable oil right~  and sometimes find kebab stands where those turkish people sell, all halal can eat.. sushi at 7 eleven i kena pandai2 sendiri la 

and yeah, I'd settle for that buckwheat noodles~ however, i think what i purchase was only around 300 yen~ ah not forgetting 100 yen for a can of calpis to go with that XD

What the fuuuuck.

I'll be there with two other friends from Feb 12 to 20. Wish I could stay around longer but I doubt work would allow ;w;

Will be attending a this nerdy card game even on the weekends at Kobe ( http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Events.as...andprix/welcome )

What's your budget like, have your trip all planned out, and have you applied for visa yet? I got my return tickets for RM600+, you?

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

What are YOU going there for, tho? Just makan angin? :3c

Do you plan to buy loads of stuff on your way back? I had 4k ready for our 7 days stay

Where are you going to buy your JR Pass?

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
