Hey guys, same question from some people here, going mid nx month, look at MYR currency dropping like crazy I donno should I change it now or wait...

last I heard from others, some of the major money changers sold out their YEN lol

Yen dropping also. Now alot Taiwanese targeting Japan.
Japan will be full of Taiwanese. Before go Japan just make sure not crash with Taiwan Public Holiday.

Hubby and our friend has been taking pictures left right center... much like a scene in counter strike "LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT, RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT, THERE THERE THERE!"

Making noise in train if passenger behind or infront can giving warning. Most of Japanese will do.

If I was inside a train. I meet this kind of passsenger, I will direct ask train staff give them a strong warning.

lol its OK to take pictures, but better do it in silent way....

you don't want to spoil this memorable moment by busying taking photo without enjoy the scenery, am i right??

They didn't really make a lot of noise, just saying it's like as if they're playing CS.

But to be honest the whole open air segment (coach 5) was like that, other passengers summore step into our places to take pictures... all tourists I have to assume.

Gundam in Odaiba, Tokyo...it will be there until when?

Hi guys

Sorry if this has been answered before.
But I'm planning a 8 night trip to Japan with my gf (3nights in Osaka and 5 nights in Tokyo)
Would 20kg of baggage allowance (Air Asia) per person be enough? Should I get 25? 30?

How much did you guys need? Thanks in advance!

I wil change it in Japan, coz not sure they will do direct exchange from SGD to JPY here. If they want you to change fr SGD-MYR-JPY, then believe that you will rugi a bit as there involve 2 transaction (money changer earn twice from you).

Actually many foreigner doesn't know Japan practising quiet train ride. I was overly shock during my 1st trip. Having 6yr old boy with me, as you know how much typical Malaysian will "ngee ngoo" the kid. But suddenly feel uncomfortable coz the whole train so silence. But we thought is the culture, and never cross our mind that is a rules. Anyway, trying hard not to behave odd.. I end up "sshhh sshhh" my son when I wanted to call him out.

Only lately from a TVB tourism show, get to know that Japan practises quiet train ride.

Depends individual. If you want it to be limited into 20kg, sure can do it. But do make sure you spare at least 5kg each for some light shopping stuff.

You may consider:
- type of clothing that you need for that particular weather, and if clothing can be recycle wearing
- will you opt for laundry
- or bring stuff for half trip, then shop for the balance. (never tried in Japan, but I did that alot in Thai)

and not to forget you have 7kg handcarry each

I bought 20kg each for going, and coming back with 30kg (myself) & 40kg (hubby). But now feel abit stupid with the 40kg and there is no way we can drag a luggage that heavy.

me and my hubby shared 25kg....

Hey both! thanks a lot. I think we will both go with 25 each coming back. Sounds like it should be sufficient.

No problem, generally should be enough.
When are going?

can i know the date for comiket on this coming december?

Whoa.. they got plan to move it somewhere? Going October 17th

can u keep me posted, if u know the answer!! till when will it be there? i m going only end nov

Hello.

I will be heading to Tokyo on Nov 11.

I wanted to ask you guys here, how about the train pass there?

is it advisable to get the day pass or get the PASMO/SUICA ?

I see there is one offer for Keisei electric train from NRT to Tokyo Nappori + 3 day pass for Tokyo metro for about 3000Yen. But, it said only Tokyo metro, what about the Toei subway? I suppose it's not inclusive,right?

And also, anyone with experience boarding the Shinkansen? I plan to get on it to Kyoto, how and where to purchase the tickets ? Thanks !! :bow:
