aiyo....then I better go change now lo. cos I'm only going to Japan on Jan 2015 ^^
Thanks!

ya...i was surprised when when mentioned the new rate cuz it has been hovering around 0.031 to 0.032 for few months edi. i will change oso, going there on nov. thanks for the update bro

just for your info, money master in mid-valley quoting 30.8

Guys, I will be going Fukouka or Tokyo to study language for 3 months. Which place would be best? Need advice to make decisions.... Eg. Price/attractions

That is a really good rate for Japan! It was RM32.20 for 1000 yen in April this year when I went.

wow, difference a lot hor...actually this few weeks I also got see the rate and it's always above 31.4. then suddenly today I see 30.9 wor. I quickly change 2k first. tonight I go change another 3k.

Bringing 5k for 10 days only for makan and little bit shopping enuf mah? My transport, i'll be buying JR pass. Then hotel, 'look' card ^^

From my observation earlier this year I realize the rate is always better on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I couldn't exchange the currency on those days as I have work commitments.

As for the budget, I am very much a backpacker so I survived with only 1.5K for 6 days but I had free accommodation (as my colleague was working there at that time) and 2-3 free meals. Of course with my limited budget (and time) I couldn't afford to go on the shinkansen so I only covered Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto.

You went alone? Cos I'm going with my hubby and the 5k is for both of us to makan
Here is my rough itinerary :

Day Destination
1 Haneda Airport - Hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo,
2 Tsukiji Fish Market, Mt Fuji, Harajuku, Meiji Shrine, Shibuya
3 Sensoji Temple, Ginza, Tokyo Station, Akihabara,
4 Nagano to see snow monkeys, Shibu onsen, back to Tokyo
5 Go to Takayama and Shirakawa-go
6 Go to Kyoto
7 Kyoto
8 Arashiyama, Kyoto
9 Kobe, Arima Onsen, Osaka
10 Osaka, Flight back home

From my experience (solo traveler)

~bfast: 200-500 yen (cup noodles is around 150yen)
~lunch / dinner: 800 - 1,500 (consider decent cuz the set got nasi, meat/chicken/fishi, soup n vege) varies on type of restaurant u go

Normally i budget like RM100 per day which include makan (bfast/dinner/lunch), train, entrance fees, abit of shopping.
but it can differ if skip on makan, or get those one day train pass and etc.

n sorry addressing u as "bro"

Thanks! That helps me a lot in costing. actually we don't really wanna eat in restaurant all the time. Try the street food better hor. And no worries about the bro...I get it a lot her in lowyat...haha

I will choose Fukuoka.

Friday after school then take ferry go S.Korea Busan city for 3 day then come back to Fukuoka at Sunday.

Enjoying Busan Beach and food

My friends suddenly want change our trip to Japan next year to somewhere else because of ''radiations'' thats happening there now..

is it true? why i never heard of this yet? last time i know la but that was so long ago

Radiation takes 200 years to clear. So you no need go Japan for rest of your life if worry that much.

I'm actually not worried, I still plan to go if they don't wanna go but going with friends on holiday are more fun. But just want to convince to them, just because there's radiation there, doesn't mean we have to boycott it

200years is too short... it need 10k+ years

and if the radiation is too severe, in the next 10years...
the entire japan's north east population will die of cancer
and those baby will be born with genetic mutation...

welcome to x-men world

Hi

Me and my friend are planning to go to Japan in Jan mid. As both have no idea about Japan and not been there before. I would appreciate some advise from experienced for a novice like me

Thanks in advance.

Place of target is Tokyo / Nagano / Mt. Fuji

4 days enuf?

Try talking to them but can't force them if they don't want to. I think you are better off going with others that are not concern about it. If any of them get sick after coming back from that trip, they might blame you for it.
