Today Tokyo Snowing causing extremely choas.
Train Service all 1 hour behind schedule.
Traffic Accident everywhere. Highway completely stood.

This sat Going Japan again.....Stupid snow....
Going Work + Travel.

This time going SKI Resort nearby Tokyo City.

The room does not look luxurious. What brand of toiletries are they providing?

Reporting in from Nozawa Onsen!

Travel time was brutal - 6+ hr flight then 3 hr train then 30 min bus. And it's cold as hell up here in the hills. It's OK though, ski time!



Haven't touched a ski pole or a ski boot for I think 12 or 13 years, so consider not too bad lah.

It snowed today which was kind of cool and yet also annoying to get all the snow in your face when you're going down a slope.

Reporting in from Hama Rikyu gardens where a couple of (I guess) plum trees decided that spring is here & to bloom early ...

do u know what is the temperature for sakura to bloom?

yes, make sure you activate international withdrawal first. I usually do my withdrawals at 7-i atms but i think any international banks should be able to (citibank, hsbc). Never had luck with Japanese native ATMs. Charges wise there is I can't recall how much on top of exchange rate.

Malaysian credit cards have pin? I usually sign off on my purchases.

Tokyo very fast paced, I was there and all the people are rushing to their next train.. some running some more! I WAS LOL!

Hi guys,

any advise for ski resort nearby Sapporo? prefer cheap in renting ski equipment, lift as well as with english support.

Currently checking out previous mentioned Kokusai. Anywhere else I can less time traveling n easier to access?

I stayed in Susukino, Sapporo. Do you think I can manage in time to reach CTS Airport and check in baggage in the next morning to catch my AirAsia flight back to KL at 9:20AM? Possible? Or should I stay in Airport Terminal CTS? Or any alternative as in earlier bus or any cheap budget taxi contact available? Taxi may be my last resort...

Japan do not have any religious holiday. Even Christmas is not a holiday. Holidays will be like Chlldren day, Marine Day, Culture Day, etc.

wait, Christmas is not a holiday?

ah okay..would be nice to see malls with easter deco..but it's okay then

Well thanks to Japanese government and the PM Abe Shinzo for the Airbnb ban regulations.

Want to do also wait until after Olympic 2020 la.
But then it is those Japanese mindset, they do not feel easy if their neighborhood always have different gaijin staying.

I booked osaka next year 2-10 april. Is still possible catch the sakura? cus what i read on the first page is the last week of march 2016.
