Sry to tell you. It was not nice. Don't say in front of Japanese or you will kena wrech.

Snow was 50cm deep. So thick and cause seriously unconvinient to people.

Totally choas.

i know that feel lol.... looks nice, but afterward will cause traffic very hard to drive on road.

then as the snow got step on few times and become harden, then it is very slippery to walk on...

experienced that in korea trip, that time i was climbing on mountain in jeju island to 180m above sea level, then when going down i had to sit on stair and slip down all the way.... and of course my butt hurt

erm...i think no need la. just show the bus driver ur 1 day pass.

for first time usage wor..need to print the date right

Just came back from my 7 day solo Tokyo trip and had a great time. This is just my second solo trip after Singapore. I visited as many places as I can around the city such as Tsukiji Fish Market, Hama-rikyu garden, Shinjuku red light district, Sky tree, Tokyo Tower, Kit Kat store, Yoyogi park, to name a few. Once I reached a particular station I just go around the entire place to look for the place I want to visit without asking for directions and it was pretty fun.
The best part is being on my own and able to do whatever I wanted to do. I even rented my own place in Shinjuku and had the whole 3-bed house with everything to myself. It was also just a few minutes walk to the nearest station passing by lots of stores so you can buy anything.
For a first timer, most of the things went pretty smoothly. Definitely should go for more of these kinda trips.

Good... Go again then

How much did you pay for accommodations in Shinjuku?
Which station is it near to?

I paid about RM200 per night. Its an accommodation for 3 person so it will be cheaper if you have more than one person with you. I think its even better than a hotel since you can even cook there and it almost feels like its your own house. The nearest station which is Akebonobashi station is about 6 minutes (I timed it) walk.

Planning to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe.
Places intended to visit:-

OSAKA:--
Universal Studios
Osaka Aquarium
DŌTONBORI
Minami (Namba)
OSAKA CASTLE
Minoo Park
Umeda sky building, Shinsaibashi, Memura

KYOTO:--
Kyoto Nishiki Market

NARA:--
Nara Park

KOBE :--
Shin-Kobe Ropeway
Kobe Harborland
Kobe Chinatown

Pls recommend other MUST go places, espeically in Kyoto, Nara and Kobe plssss. Thanks.

share la your experience at kabukicho

i haven't read the front page yet because i duno my next year trip will be going which state first, so far i know either go for anime stuff like comeket then maybe kyoto ...

anyway here is the question

anyone here got experience in JAE before? (japanese adult expo)

Oh.. that. Didn't exactly do much. I just walked around and recorded the journey. The only place I went to is Robot Restaurant which was pretty mind blowing like all the reviews said. Went to a place near by for dinner after that. For a red light district, it looks pretty safe and friendly (maybe because it was only around 8pm). There were a few people standing there who will ask if you want DVDs or something and leave you alone if you just ignore them, then there are school girls with sign boards hanging on their neck, and also a few Nigerians there looking for foreigners to pounce on. I didn't really get harassed, maybe because I don't look white.

Overall it was a nice stroll.

Here's a short clip I took when Robot Restaurant opened for business at 4pm. Would be great if everyone was this happy when they start the day.


What it looks like inside if anyones interested. There were a few opening acts and you're later brought downstairs for the main show that will blow you away. I think you can probably find countless Youtube clips since recording is allowed.


Oh and I just had to add, I went to that 7 storey sex shop, M's, at Akihabara. I only managed to browse around the first 2 floors but it was an eye opener. The first floor had DVDs and the second has fake vaginas and boobs. Unlike here, I didn't feel embarrassed at all when I stepped in. Its kinda like stepping in to a grocery store which is very normal. Teenagers in school uniforms and uncles in suites were browsing sex toys together. Its such a normal thing its surreal. Over here you'll get stares and all.

I plan to change some of my money into Yen at Bank Negara Malaysia, but as far as I know the smallest denomination possible is merely 1000 yen. Is there any way to exchange 500 and 100 Yen coins locally? If not, is there any option in Japan?

use 1000 yen to buy 100 yen stuff. they will give u the change

guys this is my first time going to witness snow (around 0-2 celcius) and it is going to be cold. How to prevent dry skin on my face. Which product is more suitable? Vaseline or lotion or moisturizer?
