i sort of knew before coming but thought it would be easier if im here looking for a job but it doesn't make any difference. oh well
going to get a car once i get a job. tanoshi what else did you do here on you survival lol. any nihon-go class for me to recommend?

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

Okay... looks like I might not be able to apply for a visa in time (forgot about monday and tuesday being public holidays in KL). I've got all the documents except for Bank statement, CIMB's e-statement with digital signature doesn't work, at all. I get nothing.

Feels bad, bro.

What are the chances of a gainfully employed fresh graduate young lad be denied entry to the land of the rising sun, for failing to apply for visa?

sorry guys. a quick one. is garmin useful in japan? tokyo?

also, any interesting event next week in japan? tokyo?

There's a free gamin map floating in some sites. But the map i think it's a little old. But it's good enough to bring u around on foot. Don't know about driving tho, i used it for my Japan trip last year and all the stuff i found is correct.

The file size should be around 400mb.

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
