same... have to queue for > 1hours

wen im there really cant enjoy the food
once u finish u hv to be "smart" and move ur ass
afterall there r so many ppl is still queuing

i guessed the Japanese fast pace culture is really killing me

but if u r out of city area, look for family restaurant
most of the chef give off the enthusiasm feeling they really enjoy cooking

Here was not Kopitiam Section.
It out of line. I will ask Stimix come clean up the mess. and give free ticket to Bora Bora Island for a week also

Fast pace but not as fast as Hong Kong.

Kanazawa got a family restaurant I like the most. Find a chances we can go together. Enjoy the Chef signature dishes Fukui Crab.

to stay on topic, maybe to okinawa island mah..opss.

ohh pls dont remind me of HK...
everywhere i go is full of prc, they arrive in batch!!!~

---
if u post the restaurant name here, the place might become tourist attraction
u know how many food blogger looking for this kind of place

ps: kanazawa or kanagawa? many of us never heard of kanazawa le

Speaking of Takoyakis, are there suggested places that I should go. I'm assuming takoyakis are all octopus which is why I'm looking forward to having it.

Kanazawa & Kanagawa both are exit in Japan.
Please google it for the location

tq

Guys I did a "panic buying" at AA cheap fare. Ended up flying in & out Nagoya this October. A bit regret that now I have to U-turn back to Nagoya to fly back, but there was no other cheap ticket that time. Also, it's not cheap, it's actually free. Pay for the minimal fee/tax only.

October is so damn near, aargh, what am I doing? Not prepared. No research. Not enough money. Backpacking freaking alone.

For now the plan is
- To find youth hostel, or BB, usual backpackers place.
- Not going to buy crazy ass expensive JR Pass.
- Thinking of getting those "daily passes" Kampung posted.
- Also the Willer bus sounds attractive, saving hotel one night!
- I know internet is a pain in the ass in JP, eventhough that's very important for such unplanned travel! To research.
- Not even sure going to Osaka or Tokyo

Info:
- The trip is 9 days long (excluding the 2 flight days)
- Usual tourist spot such as temple or themepark is not main priority since I'm on extremely tight budget (not that interested anyway)

Go and check out places nearby Nagoya and see what interest you.

Transportation isn't cheap in Japan, hence why JR pass is actually worth it if you are taking the shinkansen a lot.

Do some homework before expecting people here to spoonfeed you. Kampung had mentioned about portable internet before if I'm not mistaken, not that expensive and good coverage too. So no pain in the ass there.

Calm your t!ts, nobody is expecting you to spoonfeed anyone. It is a pain in the ass compared to other country.

You will get that response from the rest of the members on this thread anyway.

I actually find Japan quite easy to travel around with tons of info on the net, easy to move around with public transport too.

When you have the money that is.. I already start ikat perut, need to save as much as I can.

Tight Budget means more homework
I want to see you do homework first. From homework you do. I will do the correction. That will make your trip complete.

but first I want to see homework first.

First time to Japan.
Arriving at Haneda Airport 19-Oct 10.30pm.

My hotel is walking distance from TCAT (Tokyo City Air Terminal).
Is the airport limo bus service operating from airport to TCAT 24 hours (just that midnight to 5am is double) ?

If not, my next option will be by taxi to hotel (google map gave me 18kms distance)

Thanks for guidance.


Good news on sales tax?

I'll be landing in Tokyo and departing from Tokyo as well.

Anybody whom has done this before can kindly share with me your itinerary?

Thank you!

Please do the Homework first.

Get JR Pass or take shinkansen to Kyoto for few days.

Hi all, today's exchange rate for yen is RM30.90. Is it cheap to change money now?
