Dream job... Got vacancy?

those who want to rent pocket wifi, i think better be fast
travel recommends still RM13/day
wiyo on the other hand is now RM20/day..no more RM12

Thanks for the headsup - just booked

wah
increase price so much

their RM12 or RM13 is promotion price if not wrong
its not their normal price
travel recommends's normal price u can see at their website is RM30/day

Anyone changed from USD to Yen before? The rate seems to be better than changing straight from MYR to Yen. Anyone can confirm?

http://www.kaakix.co.jp/exchange/rate.html

According to the rate

買取レート
外貨→日本円
(Buying Rate) = 102.93
Currently USD = 4.215

So the Yen rate is 102.93/4.215 = 24.42

But changing directly from Yen

Rate now = 41.6
Yen from MYR = 1000/41.6 = 24.04

Asking this because can't get Yen from my local dealer at Melaka for few days, if worse case will change to USD first before going to Osaka next Thursday

want to ask who purchase using CC before
say i wanna buy disneysea ticket using my CC, will the bank charge using actual exchange rate or their own forex rate state on their website?
because the rate gap is pretty big right now

Came back from Tokyo on Nov 1st. It was a great experience. Especially when we joined the Halloween Street Party in Shibuya for 2 nights and attending Sengoku Otome PS Vita game official launching event.
Now, we have another plan, to Sapporo during winter.

From the route we gonna take, JR Pass is the best option but we still have thousands in our SUICA card. Can we use the card for vending machine or local train/bus or something like that in Hokkaido? In Tokyo it was like widely use. I know KITACA/SAPICA for Hokkaido.

Already unite as one
Suica and pasmo can used at Hokkaido

If you are just travelling around Hokkaido, I am not sure if JR Pass is the best option, unless you are travelling from Tokyo to Sapporo.

How about this...
worth to buy?

since we'll going to tokyo thru haneda...

tokyometro

If Traveling only at Hokkaido then using JR Hokkaido Rail Pass
JR Rail Pass are for traveling from State to state.

Tokyo Metro don't have any line to Haneda Airport.
BTW, if traveling only in Tokyo City, Just used Pasmo / Suica enough already.
This 2 card similar to our ''Touch N Go''

JR Hokkaido Pass. Not Rail Pass.

Ah ok......since I cannot used most pass except Kanto wide pass, dont know much about other pass.

At first I thought I wouldnt need the pass. But from Toya to Asahikawa gonnna cost me more than 10k yen one way, so we decided to get the pass. But what I am afraid of is, train cancelled due to heavy snow. I dont know if that will happen. Maybe sifu RegentCid can give an advice on that.

Japan Hokkaido train are build to penetrate snow. 85% Snowstorm won't stop the train service. Only Typhoon will stop the service. Hokkaido train run the slowest speed compare to other state due to Heavy and snow penetrate ability.
Fastest train in Hokkaido just run 120km/h top speed and most of time it just run 90km/h

Ends up
