I wl be in Tokyo end of January.

I have booked a hotel room in Nishi Shinjuku for the first 3 nights. Where else should I stay? What other areas?

I like shopping especially for second hand or quirky stuffs.

Thanks.

2nd-hand cameras & lens? - You sure like Shinjuku smile.gif But for overall 2nd hand IT & phones..Akihabara is the best place

Hi all!

I m going to Japan in real soon. I have activate the debit card (for doing oversea withdraw) for the duration on my travel but.. I have read some sites (tripadvisor mostly) some tourists comment that they cant withdraw cash over there..

Has anyone done that before? Your advise n sharing is real appreciated!

No problem at all. But make sure you activate international withdrawal via your ATM machine. For Maybank Debit card, just find any ATM in Japan wth "PLUS"sign. Well not necessary Japan...anywhere inthe world too haha
