QUOTE(masterelr @ Nov 3 2014, 09:56 PM) This might be a bit of a dumb question...but I've just exchanged RM3060 for 100,000 yen and I was given ten 10000 notes. I asked the cashier if they can give me smaller notes and they say they don't have. Now..should I exchanged them with smaller notes when I reach Tokyo? Maybe at 7 Eleven or something? I'm worried that if I use 10000 yen to pay a 500 yen meal they won't accept it because they don't have any change or something. Not sure if something like this happens in Tokyo but it does happen here. You walk into 7 Eleven to purchase a RM2 drink and give them RM10, the cashier will either tell you to go find some small change or go somewhere else and buy. Just exchange by purchasing snacks at mini-mart, no harm. |

That kind of surcharge is almost 2.5%...some local changers even taking 3%. All these are higher than credit card fees and without points or cashback. So try to divide your expenses accordingly.

QUOTE(lastlovesong @ Nov 5 2014, 02:57 PM) you are welcome. if you spend 4 or more days in kyoto, you can assign north, south, east and west for each day. that way, you spend less time travelling between tourist spot and spend more time eating delicious foods, sightseeing, taking pictures and eat more delicious foods. another thing, kiyomizudera currently undergoing renovation. so the famous spot to take picture of the temple in evening... the picture from that spot will look kinda "cacated" due to the scaffholding beside the main building. got any photo to share of the cacat thingy?  |

As plan-B, what are my alternatives on getting TDS and TDL tickets in advance ?  [attachmentid=4203203] HI, thanks for the update. Doesn't look good. I will try on monday and share the outcome. As on buying the ticket in advance, i posted a link 1-2 pages back, there are 2 agencies in malaysia selling them. Or, you can purchase at the Disney stores. |

Each Banana got plastic packing Where will this check take place? Japan or Malaysia custom? They check everyone or random? Then like fridge magnets how, buying as souvenirs for people |

I tried to make a dummy Disneyland ticket purchase and I get the same problem, shown in USD.
ruztynail
when you make your payment using amex, is there any OTP or straight away purchase successful after clicking next?

QUOTE(ruztynail @ Nov 8 2014, 02:19 PM) no OTP.. if u read the purchase by CC t&c other then amex. both visa and master requires OTP. so mine was straight transacted thn the sms frm the bank came and its in JPY. not USD... maybe u find a fren who uses amex lo.. thn u pay him/her back in cash.... i rather buy online thn waste time queuing la.. IMO yeah, thought so coz AMEX usually no OTP. I do have amex just worried if no OTP page then terus charge USD But since you confirm in YEN (damn, u really brave), then I got confident liao  This post has been edited by Human Nature: Nov 8 2014, 02:22 PM |
