Yeah i agree Khaosan Ninja is really crap. Khaosan Kyoto is really good!

hey guys im going to tokyo next month on a business trip...just want to ask is the radiation at a dangerous level....basically izzit safe to go?...really in doubt now...i will be at hachioji and shinagawa area....

i notice that every page i read, there will be at least 1 question regarding about the radiation level in japan. i wonder how come they don't check back the few pages before they post it?

sorry i did check but seems like there is no definite answer for it...anyway i heard from a coll of mine saying there is vaccine to help reduce radiation ...anyway can confirm?

Radiation are leak into sea water and pollution the water. If you scare then dun eat any seafood when you at Japan.

kids nowsdays just don't have confident in their reading ability
or their England is from primary school level
need to ask to confirm again and again

do you think i should put harajuku & shibuya in one day and go for mt.fuji day trip?

Today heavy rain hit Nagoya City

That is either the Lock-Up restaurant or Alcatraz Restaurant in Shibuya. I've seen some reviews on it. Google and u shall find the answer...
Seems pricey though but for the experience, why the heck not.

Can we please add this link to the front page or something? Getting sick of people asking if Tokyo is safe or not.

If the day ticket going till Nikko & Hakone much better hehe...Well I dun think so liao unless Hakone & Nikko part of Tokyo Metropolitan area??

Anyway.. that great tip of the day pinned to 1st pg

Thanks. Never know there is alice in the wonderland too.

Will ask my gf choose 1. We also going to maid cafe and maybe one piece cafe as well

Nikko and Hakone are out of Tokyo City

im planned to go watch Tokyo Auto Show (TAS) 2014 next year but don't know exact date of the event.. can help me to get the date so i can make a booking asap.. anyone??

Do the homework.....Info won't come spoon feed here

Is the Tokyo Auto Show the same as Tokyo Motor Show?
Cause according to this link here, Tokyo Motor Show, the event is 22 Nov 2013 to December 2013. I guess you'll only know the 2014 event date after the 2013 one is over?
