QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Jun 30 2015, 03:23 PM) u wont know... I doubt it will be come to percentage. If 10 babies were to be born with mutation, its already big news here. Over here in the Japanese news, they are already some documentary about this pollution in Fukushima. eg: lets said the baby fatality is 0.1% before 2011, now 0.2% and the baby born with mutation genes is 0.01% and now become 0.02% the total number is so insignificant... but the increase percent is actually 100% general public will still in blur my oni advice... do your own reading take ur own risk dont cry here if anything happen But you are right, everything has a risk and you just have to weigh it and decide. Now there are so many information online that you are not sure who to believe. |

QUOTE(limchee @ Jul 6 2015, 10:18 AM) after the recent eruption of Mt Hakone, we are thinking to change our itinerary to somewhere else around Kanto region, which can be done in a day trip from Tokyo. Any recommendation? Anyone been to Boso Peninsula? How about Izu?p/s: Nikko, Kamakura, Enoshima is already included in our trip. |

QUOTE(mimigoh @ Jul 30 2015, 11:45 AM) Michlove... Tokyo Disneyland area have? or station nearer to Disney so I can hop on cheaper cab to sheraton grande Urayasu Also depends how many people you have, sometimes its cheaper/convenient to take a cab directly which I think will cost you around 10,000yen inclusive of midnight fare. Just search "Haneda Taxi Disneyland" and you will get a few English sites. Just email them and ask. Or as RegentCid say, ask the hotel..... |

QUOTE(lost123 @ Jul 31 2015, 03:41 PM) ill be going to Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka in November, was just wondering whether is there any type of electronics or anything special thats worth buying and bringing back? coz im currently planning my budget and how much Yen to change, so i would need to know whether i should buy any gadgets like earphones/camera/lenses from there. If you are talking about electronics, I would not recommend it cause you have to think of warranty (global or local), voltage difference and language. Sony for example sells their video cam much cheaper if you are willing to accept only Japanese language in the camera. Unlike Canon which you can actually select your language. Check with some friends and they mention that lenses are not much cheaper as well, unless you are talking about newest model that does not exist yet in Malaysia.I tried searching online, but couldnt find too much info on this. Some say it is worth it, some say it isnt.. etc... Some feedback from those who have been there before would be nice. As for earphones, there are tons of selection which I dont think you can find in Malaysia. From cheap ones to really high end ones. So really depends on your budget. |

QUOTE(OHEMHXINXIN @ Oct 13 2015, 11:28 PM) Dear friends, I planned to visit Japan next year. Planing to bring a handy with me. But is it cheaper to buy electronic products such as Sony Handy cam, action cam etc.. in Japan? Then I will have to wait till I reached Kansai, japan. Not worth it. Better to get it in Malaysia, especially if you are talking about Sony. Unlike Canon or other brand which you can select language, Sony handy sold in Japan only display in Japanese. If you want multi-language you need to pay 10,000 yen more. However not sure if they will change their strategy. Charger is fine though as now most handy can be charge via USB. You only buy electronics in Japan just because you cannot find it anywhere else and not because of the price.Thanks. |

QUOTE(Samurai @ Oct 14 2015, 08:16 PM) I bought Apple IMac 5 K..July this year...cost me only ¥267,624.00.。 Mastercard charge me RM8141.00 only then i got 10% pointer from Yamada Denki ..then spend External HDD 3 T for free...In Malaysia..If i not mistaken Imac 5k the price is RM8500..without GST. Thats true, Apple is cheaper here. Normally you wont find discount for Apple. However in Yodobashi once in a blue moon there is some discount and package. Manage to buy an MacBook Pro with 20,000yen discount if I trade a notebook. At that time I was lucky as I have a 15 year old notebook that I dont use anymore. Also on June 2015..I went to Tokyo..bought Nikon 3200 new model with Memory card..its cost me ¥137,40.00...using my Mastercard..then CIMB charge me only RM4173.96....Im also have Yodobashi Camera Pointer Card membership..its free to register. Voltage is 110v- 240v..but not all electronic equipment have same voltage...For me..any camera or computer should be ok... Well..its up to you buy or not. Apple Malaysia..price going crazy.. http://www.lowyat.net/2015/79379/apple-rai...y-up-to-rm3600/ And you are right, camera/notebook should not be an issue with voltage.....just that you need to change it to 3 pin plug. Besides that, its Japanese keyboard unless you ask for an ENglish version, which they might run out of stock. |

I checked the Japanese Apple Store online...cheaper by at least RM100 depending on exchange rate buy directly from the store and you dont need to pay the 8%tax.
