Congratulations on the V5 thread. I have been following this thread for quite some time and just now, I finally purchased return ticket KUL-NRT by AirAsia X, less than a week after they introduced it. I will be travelling with my wife n 2 yr old daughter. Plan to cover osaka as well, using JR pass. Initial plan was to buy KUL-KIX and HND-KUL but the ticket price was so expensive when buying separately. Now will start doing my homework

QUOTE(EdBaaBaa @ Jul 8 2014, 07:16 AM) Dear RC, As u probably know, kampung2005 is in japan now. Not sure what his exact plans are but typhoon neoguri is approaching n there's news it is a huge one n v dangerous. For the benefit of kampung's safety n future travellers, can you please post how to keep track of warnings while in japan esp as many visitors dont know japanese. Tq So far I know , no ppl in this forum going Ryukyu Island chain. So I didnt post warning here. Typoon only effected Miyakojima , Ishisagi, Okinawa

For Casio, even in Japan, their factory are seperated to normal factory and premmium production line in yamagata. There are quite a number of models that you dont really get in Malaysia, and of course some limited edition which is even hard to get in Japan. Another casio model I like is Protrek. Not sure if its being sold in Malaysia though.

Have a friend who actually bought a few gshock here and says its cheaper and newer version as well compare to Malaysia. At yodobashi, if you are a tourist, you dont need to pay the 8%tax if its more than 10,000yen.

No way new model casio g shock made in Japan will cheaper than international version. No way.

They doing sales only Drop to 49000Yen // RM1500. Still more expensive than International Version. But you have to go Japan only can get it. Yodobashi doesn't ship to Malaysia. So at the Ends...Still back to 1st Place.....Japan G-Shock no way cheaper than International Version This post has been edited by RegentCid: Jul 9 2014, 08:42 PM
