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. The best place to change to smaller denomination is the subway ticket machine. They don't say no to your money.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. |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Nov 26 2014, 08:01 AM) Exceed 300MBs within 3 days with any of those MVNO sims and prepare for slowdown to 300kbps (which for modern Android phones pretty much means WhatsApp and not much else) for 2-3 days after that. And yeah if it hasn't happened to you yet, good, but by right it will only be a matter of time. Some portable routers also have 300 mb policies. I change my Sim card every month[i am here for 2 months already]... Haven't face any problem you mention yet and is LTE... 2GB is enough for 10-14 days trip IMO. I don't know how you can use modern android phone can shoot until 300mb in 3 days. I use instagram, WA and map everyday and is around 60mb ish. Not to mention, portable wifi batteries sucks sometimes.[cause is been used by so many people, the batteries just become weak] It always dies on the inappropriate time like my friend.Personally I recommend Global Advanced Comms (google). You'll need a CC for that and it's like RM180ish for 10 days, but it's well worth it if you *need* fast internet. If you can keep usage under 100MB per day, you'll be fine with a data sim. But with the amount of background processes and Social Networking crap everybody has on their phones nowadays I doubt it. If you have many active groups WA by its own can eat 150MB per day like nothing. *Cheapest option I found after studying here for 2 months.
