Travel to HK from Tokyo very often. If you look sometimes Cathay and ANA prices are about the same as Vanilla Air especially if you plan your trip early.

Just settled with Vanilla Air. Slightly more than 1xk yen one way, inclusive of 20KG baggage, standard seat and tax and processing fee. Well, out of curiosity, off topic, I know, but what the hell is "Airport Construction Fee", which I noticed is part of AA total charges?

hi sifu, i am going to japan for the first time on 19th-26th Oct.
only 2 of us a couple. will land at Osaka.
plan to visit Kyoto & Osaka.

1. need advice for itinerary.
2. and does these 2 hotels OK? i believe we will be travelling a lot using public transport?
- Hotel Granvia Osaka (JR OSAKA station)
- MyStays Sakaisuji-Honmachi

As long those Hotel was within walking range to Metro system or bus station. They are consider good location.

2nd thing to consider was any restraurant or convinence store nearby.

i always wanted to ask ...this applies to other country as well
regarding the immigration slip
there will be a column regarding where u will be staying
so if one booked airbnb, what would u write on that column?

do you think it's worth to spend a night in ryokan for 1st time japan visit?

but urs can grab at Penang airport.

Hi,
May I know what is the quota? Daily limit? or whole trip limit?

http://www.wiyo.my/
same as travelrecommend. they're having promotion. as low as RM12 per day. no limit. KLIA pickup/drop-off only.

do you guys return the omamori after a years usage or just throw it away?

1. Does it seem like something you and your wife would enjoy?
2. Can you afford it?

If your answer is yes and yes then go stay ryokan lo.

If your answer is yes and no ... you can compromise and stay in a budget Japanese style room (won't have fancy onsens and in-room Kaiseki. But u get what you pay for). Example: ¥13,000/night for 2 ppl:

1. i just know it's japanese house architecture thingy, then got tatami, sleep on floor? XD i didn't know what to expect so i am complementing.
i am just thinking if stay ryokan it would be better if it's natural places rather than in town area? i might be wrong on my understanding about ryokan.

2. i explore a bit if around osaka town area 1night rm1K ada, if further a bit like nara maybe rm600 pun ada?

I've use it during my last Japan trip in March, quite fast and can be shared among like 6 devices.

Intermittently need to reset it if suddenly found unable to connect. Forgot what was the quota, but our group of 6 keep using daily also didn't have any disruption.

If what is written in Wikipedia is correct, then you shouldn't throw it away. Instead bring it back to the shrine or temple to dispose it.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omamori):

Old amulets are usually returned to the same shrine or temple they were purchased at so they can be disposed of properly. It is most common for amulets to be returned on or slightly after New Year’s. This way the shrine/temple visitor has a fresh start for the New Year with a new omamori.

Throwing an amulet in the trash is also highly discouraged. Old omamori should not be placed in trash with other commonly discarded rubbish, but rather treated with respect. Usually they are burned. Burning the old amulet is meant to be a sign of respect to the deity that helped out the person throughout the year.
