Yup..i'm trying to find an agent right now.. do u guys know any travel agents around Penang which can do the visa? And how much do they charge?

Not sure about the charges tho. Maybe just a small dime

Hi Guys,

Need some help on travelling to Japan. I am travelling to Haneda on AA this 28th and the flight was delayed as per AA notice recently. It is scheduled to only arrive at Haneda at 2230. As I understand the trains would be closed and not sure if I can make it out of the customs in time for the Airport limo bus which is the last one at 2310.

Would like to ask if there are any other ways out of Haneda to Tokyo apart from the taxi as I know it is very expensive for Taxi service in Japan. I will be  staying at Shinjuku Washington which is on the Airport limo bus route but with AA screwing up my schedule I am now not too sure of how to get there.

Some help from experienced travellers would be appreciated.....
*
Easiest way is to mingle around with other travelers and find someone who wants to chip in

Thanks for the reply but dun think its possible as I am travelling in a group of 4. Checked from some of my other friends who have been to Japan and they were saying that the cab cost is about 2-3 times what I would spend for the bus....


Added on June 10, 2011, 10:15 am
Thanks for the infor. Will check out their routes....

I reckon your friend said from taxi cost from Narita not from Haneda. If you're traveling alone yes its gonna cost 4 times more but four of you all together its going to be the same as limo bus ride. The price is within JPY8000~9000 (depends on which taxi company) and the price is fixed. Limo bust would cost you JPY2000 per person.

You can refer here and here

that's why it is more expensive because a simple t shirt they sell about rm60 but actually you can get it with rm25-40 from other brand such as Padini.
*
Who wants to wear padini? lol their work attire is fine but for daily wear definitely not.
You can get original anime tshirt from Uniqlo.
Topman, Zara, Pull & Bear, Uniqlo are within same price range and they're not expensive brand in overseas but it became exclusive when it reach Malaysia sweat.gif

Congratulations. I'm going to give you some advice I wish somebody had passed along *before* I was in the delivery room.

Be supportive, help with counts, be the breathing coach, massage, provide ice chips whatever.

But...

Do *not*, under any circumstances, look. Trust me on this.
*
LMAO few of my friends asked me to look at it. My wife on the other hand said don't look at it. I'm just a little bit curious maybe I'll take a one-second peek?

Tatsuya,
Thank you for your helpful advice. I have questions for you when you register your kid, does your baby get dual nationality up to 21 years old? and he/she needs to choose one after that right? I'm going to JP in January so its advisable to make JP or MY passport for the baby? I've been googling around but not much info could be found about this

@Tatsuya,
Really appreciate your informative comments! My wife's parent separated awhile ago so she has changed her last name to her mum's. I reckon we're gonna follow her last name for Japan side. For MY side, I want my kid to have my name in it but as a Muslim we don't practice last name so I really don't know how's it going to be in my kid's IC. Putting bin and my full name would make their name extremely long (did you just randomly pick Ryusuke name as an example because that's exactly my son's name gonna be LOL) I was wondering whether I can remove bin and put shorter version of my name. Another concern of mine, would it be legal in terms of legislation for both countries if the names registered in birth certificate differ from each country? Eg in Malaysian Jabatan Pendaftaran its going to be eg. Ryusuke Raemy bin xxxx xxxxxx xxxx and in Japan's registration it will Ryusuke Raemy Suzuki. Any complication arised afterward? I am really baffled about this.

It sucks to know that my name in fact your name as well would be just an unofficial note in the koseki. It doesn't mean anything to me but that shows they really alienate gaijin.

Language wise, I do want them to speak Japanese but the problem is I dont speak any hahaha. We only use English as medium of conversation. I guess I better start learning especially if one day we're moving to Japan. If my wife speaks only Japanese to my kid then I wont even be able to talk to them lol.

Bonus question, how does your kid look alike? More to Japanese or Malaysian? I wonder how my kid will look alike hehe

Coz the journalist for the Malaysian online paper scared of cold I think. That's why he/she suggest ppl to go to Japan when the temperature is roughly the same as Malaysia.

I would rather go during winter coz the coldness is soooooooooooo nice but poor you!!

Since they limit the electricity usage, do they cut off the electricity if the household exceed certain kw of electricity used?

Bout the name as far as I know, if in Japan for Muslim/Malaysian theres no s1st name or last name...theres only 1 single name...such my daughters name Puteri Aiko Raudhah Binti my name lor....so in reg. form just put in the blank 1st name...leave it blank surname, and underline your name.

My wife has safely delivered on 30th of June, 2020hrs. Alhamdulillah it went well eventhough had to go through emergency caesarean at last minute due to slow dilation. Anyhow I've been blessed with a healthy baby GIRL!!! It was really unexpected because previous doc said its a boy. Im gonna look for that ultrasound doc shakehead.gif. We've decided to use my wife's last name for JPN side.
She's really adorable i'll post some photos here later

Congratulations! Funny about the ultrasound, usually it is the other way - a predicted girl turning into a boy (because "he was shy"). Best wishes for the mom + baby + you. Japanese custom means you have to pick the name, pick the correct number of strokes (kanji) for good fortune and then write the name on a paper and stick on the wall for xx days.
*
I read somewhere saying probably the doc mistakenly thought the baby cord as little bird. Wasnt a problem but I just need to go for another round of shopping for baby girl cause the stuff she's wearing now is mostly blue colours which was meant for the boy lol. yeah we did pick names for certain kanji writtings.

@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 biggrin.gif

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 smile.gif
