Must add extra bed.
If the hotel no extra bed service, you have to booked another one room on spot which will be very expensive.

Not sure what is your question.
I tot type of photo depends very much on what Immigration Malaysia define? I dont think its black and white. If you manage to make a passport with a photo that does not conform to Malaysia Immigration standard.....then it might be a fake one......

Yes and I renewed mine in 2013. Snapped nicely for them in colour, as that's their request... Then, they changed it to B&W during application... They should have requested B&W straight away. doh.gif laugh.gif

Still prefer the old one but I prefer this kind of hard type lamination on the details page.

No Problem one

Last time in 2013 i renew my passport and got the chip but was colour photo

A few weeks after that, they change to obituary style photo

If you can use Malaysia autogate system then automatically can qualify for visa exemption

Hi all,
I'm planning to visit Japan from 24/06/2015 - 06/07/2015 inclusive.
We are thinking to do as below and would appreciate all the guidance all of you could provide us

24/06 - Arrive Tokyo Narita > Go to Kyoto

25/06 - Kyoto

26/06 - Kyoto

27/06 - Kyoto > Osaka > Back to Kyoto

28/06 - Kyto > Kobe > Back to Kyoto

29/06 - Kyoto > Hakone ( Assume the 2 days free Hakone pass will suffice? bad timing ropeway is closed due to earthquake.

30/06 - Hakone

01/07 - Hakone > Tokyo( Disneyland )

02/07 - Tokyo - Is it worth going Disney sea?

03/07 - Shinjuku Will wonder around Tokyo
04/07 - Shinjuku
05/07 - Shinjuku
06/07 - Shinjuku (Flight is at 1050pm)

Yes, I'm sure heaps of similiar questions has been asked before the thread is so popular and long !
I'm grateful if anyone could entertain my questions. sweat.gif

Am cracking head on which type/pass of transportation to use to get around these places - JR 7 days pass?

Would like to experience shinkansen at least.

Also thinking of air bnb ( any suggestions much appreciated ) VS. hotels .

So far hotel seems to be same price or cheaper than air bnb ( air bnb provides wifis ).

We love food - so any cafes or restaurants recommendation are welcome!!

If anyone can share share their similiar itinerary would be aweosome!

*where is the best place for night view of skyline?

Thanks all! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

hi sensei,

suica/pasmo cannot be purchase/recharged using cc?
in that case, i may want to convert more yen before going there.

Wah, Your plan so much criss crossing rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I prefer Airbnb more than hotels as it's cheaper and i love the "Home" feeling. Feels really authentic to live in a working class neighborhood than to stay at a posh place in the middle of downtown

Btw, Dont rely on the MIFI devices that some airbnb host give out, much better off renting one yourself as some of those given have poor receptions and short battery life

I only spent about RM 125 on average for my accommodating in tokyo/osaka per night by using Airbnb exclusively

AFAIK, Suica cant be reloaded using CC unless your using mobile suica or view suica

Only yen may be used to load a card. A credit card cannot be used to load a Suica.


Not to worry bro, The machine to reload at the stations have english menu on it, just bring extra yen and save back the credit card surcharge thumbup.gif

For me, disneysea is better for adults than disneyland (the other way around for kids). Whether you wanna spend two days and visit two parks depends on how big of a theme park fan you are lo.

"Free" does not exist there lol after you step out of the airport

To think of it, i only used before free wifi at KIX and NRT biggrin.gif

Even at large departmental store like Time square require you to go to their kiosk to get your 1 hour wifi pass

MIFI is a portable wifi hotspot la, You go rent 1 and then your free to go or you can buy mobile DATA ONLY sim card
