Hi guys, need some advice here.

End of this year, my university has made it compulsory to make an international trip (visit a university of that country) for each class in my batch, it will be our final year project. So my class has chosen Japan. I really need some help here, I would just like to know is it a good idea to travel to Japan? Our uni has given us a fund of only RM5000 for the whole class. Basically the other funds we have to come up with our own. We are planning to find for sponsors and in the meantime, fund raising. We have 20 people. We plan to go between Nov-Dec '16

Questions:-

1)Is RM3k per person enough for the trip? (Including hotel, air fee, transportation, etc.)
2)Could you guys please break down the estimated expenditure per day/person
3)Other country suggestion?

I'm basically in charge of the Logistic (transportation, hotels etc.) . We choose Japan because most of the other countries has been blocked by other classes.

Advice is needed guy, thanks in advance.

Japan so big , Which University in Japan you plan to Visit?
Each City have thier own expenses.
Tokyo will be the highest

which university is this and what programme are you taking?

Tokyo more choices in term of cheap chain restaurants mah haha..sukiya, hamatsu udon & even suzhi zanmai also cheaper than those in kyoto / osaka.

1. return flight around rm900 - 1.5k /pax
2. dont stay in hotel/capsule, choose hostel with mix dorm
rm80 - rm200 /pax/nite
3. u hv 20ppl, tat mean halal food is 99% required
if possible cook at hostel!!!
eat at 7-11, onigiri n instant noodles is very common
they hv mixed rice, but this is not halal and need hunting
average food in shop will cost u 500-1000 yen ~ rm30/meal
4. transportation u can get tourist unlimited pass
i believe if u hv student card, u might able to get other discount
5. other university, vietnam seem good
look for HanoiKids organisation, they able to help
and viet standard of education is higher than our country
viet is communist country, education wise u hv alot of history to learn

Both also I facepalm also.

In the first story, niaseng, go and do some part time job lar. Throughout my entire university days I do 20 hours a week part time during class season, and full time work during winter and summer breaks. But of course Malaysian student "kerja sambilan bukan budaya kita"

Second story also facepalm. If a university wants to make an international trip mandatory ... but only give rm5000 subsidy for 20 people (i.e. rm250/pax) ... seriously wtf?!?!?! also

Anyway I got to add some Japan info here, otherwise sure kena fucuk by daikor RC.

BEST TIPS EVER by RC !!!!!hahahaha

University Technology Mara( UiTM) , International Business

I see. Yes, we have yet to decide which city of Japan that we want to go. Any recommendations bro?

Nicely written bro, thank you so much for the tip. . Do u mind to share the average daily cost of roaming around?

How much do airfares cost from Malaysia to Japan? Better check up on that.

Avg RM1000-1300. Main concern is the daily expenses there..

No plan going to eat that cheapest seafood Don at Iriya?
how about my newest Tips?
Adult Shopping mall?

That's so true, especially for Sony models.

Don't even think of visiting if you're hauling luggage or a huge backpack. The interior is quite cramped and it can get very busy in there.

Went to Japan twice and visited there both times and bought a few of those figures back.
Its definitely one of those places to visit if you like these kinda stuffs. I was a bit malu malu when I first stepped in but when I saw old dudes and teenagers browsing around together like it was just some normal grocery store, I was malu no more. Spent hours just on 1 or 2 floors.

i love this scenery so much, thank you for sharing

wonderful

lol i even saw girls and women there
