you first time travelling or what?
however many days you spending in tokyo just stay the same hotel in tokyo and travel within the city
then from the day you go yokohama then book hotel in yokohama and change hotel once lor
adakah people within the same city keep on changing hotel

take side trip to kobe eat kobe steak lo, (relatively) short trip only
while in kyoto go eat their kyoto style mackerel sushi, or the gogyo burnt ramen near the market area. and go find kaiseki restoran and have dinner.

go in summer of course hot lo
on the bright side summer = peach season so go buy and eat a lot of peaches, they gooding.


For me, Kyoto not worth considering u only have 4d3n (i.e. 3 actual days), 1 of which is taken up by USJ. Might as well spend the whole time in Osaka. Kobe or Nara can be an OK side trip if you absolutely can't find anything in osaka that you're interested in visiting.

what's with all the random mispelled japanese words when all of us are reading/writing english on an english forum?

You can but credit card cash advance is practically the worst way to get money. Much better to use ATM to withdraw instead. Seven bank ATM (i.e. in 7-11) should accept your ATM card as long as got cirrus, etc.

Is English your second or third language? notoriousfiq is speaking about 'journey' in the metaphorical/figurative sense and here you are trying to argue with him on the literal definition of the word

TDS is like a more 'grown up' version of Disneyland. Rides are slightly more adult, the franchises also the more grow up ones.

Ooh this one I know. RegentCid last time forgot which v liao said Mouriya gooding http://www.mouriya.co.jp/en/

if you like visiting japanese markets looking at produce and stuff and are planning to visit the kyoto one, nearby there is a ramen shop which serve 'burnt' ramen. i like the miso ramen, oily but gooding

What are you talking about ada kah such thing as "real" or "not real"? The rm150 at JPJ one IS the real international driver's permit.

So which agency issues this so-cslled "real" IDP?
JPJ issued rm150/year IDP is already accepted all over the world as a proper IDP, even in left hand drive countries lar.

this blog talks about the JPJ rm150/year IDP lo pay rm150 to JPJ they issue you an IDP on top of your normal license. No such thing as need to take left hand drive right hand drive test for a so called 'real' IDP like what you said in previous posts

when i was there the last two times google maps worked just fine.

I've been asking you for a few pages already what is this so-called "real" IDL and turns out you also don't know what you're talking about?

rm150/year IDP -- everyone knows about this. What nobody knows about is your so-called "real IDP" which need to take left lane right lane driving test or whatever nonsense. Where on earth did you get this idea from and why is there not a single online link available to describe it?

Don't think you can find real kobe beef. You can check their website http://www.kobe-niku.jp/contents/export/ - mostly europe, singapore, macau, hk, USA, some to thailand, etc.

Anyway if RegentCid suggestion out of your budget, try Steakland lo. Same area also, rm150-rm180/pax but I suppose they use lower grade Kobe.

Malaysians living abroad typically can renew passport at the high commission in that country instead of flying back to Malaysia to renew.

A long time ago there was some guy who posted in an earlier version of this thread. He said he went to Japan without visa but brought along all the supporting documents; upon arrival got pulled into a side room for 'interview.' As I recall they gave him a hard time for a couple of hours but eventually gave him visa on arrival.

Your mileage may vary and remains fully up to you whether you wanna risk it or not, of course.

I can assure you this blanket statement is most definitely NOT true. All countries specifically maintain lists of other countries which they allow visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival, and pre-application of visa before arrival, etc. As an example if we take our Malaysian passport and try to enter USA without a visa the chances of getting in are essentially 0%.

From Japan Embassy website: "Visas granted by the Japanese Government are issued only by embassies or consulates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. A visa cannot be acquired after arriving in Japan." Having said that, for Malaysians, technically speaking a visa is only "encouraged" and not "required" by Japanese government since 1993.



Therefore if I was in your wife position and considering the latest relaxation for ICAO-compliant passports I would TOTALLY risk it.

Anyway can you update us what her status is? Did she decide to fly anyway and did she manage to enter the country? That could be a help for future bro and sis who might end up in the same boat.

The photo that ronnie posted already gives u the answer clear as day apa lagi u mau?
