oh good to hear that. Any chances of heavy rain tho? Any comment on Omotesando? I found a fair price of place to stay here in airbnb. The owner provides portable Wifi as well.
*
remember to ask if theres any limit/quota for the portable wifi provided
not all are unlimited

I can understand taikor regentcid's feeling. Cos remember there's that unspoken rule from who knows where that each thread supposed to only reach 2500 posts and then must close and start new one. Imagine if use the thread also to chit chat, I think every 2 wks easily hit 2500 posts then RC need to make new thread and re-do all the first 10 posts lol.
*
previous thread even without chit chat, it still moves quite fast

Hehehehe, personally speaking, Akihabara alone will occupy at least half a day if not a full day and night!  whistling.gif

u can see 17th also for akihabara at the back with a question mark since its on the way
i plan it based on train route
since u say half a day...17th and 18th surely cannot already
maybe slot to the last day 20th? and my list for akihabara isn't that long..got so many things to visit there?

It's more of a question if you wanted to buy anything there. If you don't plan to buy anything. A few hours will be enough. But if you love anime and want to buy merchandise, 1 day at least.. heh
*
not a fan of anime or gundam so just normal sightseeing..thus list is quite short
thats why im in a dilemma which day and where to slot akihabara in because it seemed so packed
i think imma still put it at 18th 1st...if can't made it thn maybe slot it into the last day

You gotta slow down, and have a look around... Especially the neon lights all over, and the maids in skimpy dress even during winter... Awww, almost feel bad for them. Hehehe.

Tax refund will be done immediately at the shop you bought those stuff. Food and make-ups, they will seal in a bag and you can only open it when back to malaysia. Others like bag, shoes, cameras, no seal.

looks like if i buy a few time thn there will be a few bags in total

Im going japan end Nov and wanted to boom for pocket wifi first..

Anyone experience using Wiyo? Previous post ppl commented on traven recomment but it is quite troublesome for me to pick becauSe im flying from KLIA2 (their booth at KLIA & i want to avoid courier fee which is rm10/way!!)

Wiyo office is near to my office.. But i read their facebook comments.. Some said the connection is poor..
Need advices =)

travelrecommends have counter at KLIA2 too
check their website under "locate us"

You can choose to send to airport or own carry.
And yeah, you cannot open the bag and arrange in your bag. Thats why I brought along an extra suitcase just to carry back my 'loots' because I know it's very hard to pack when it's sealed in a bag. Also, you can hand carry onboard the plane.
For free duty items like alchohol and perfume which are sealed in the bag, is no problem to hand carry on board...

can hand carry so much liquid into a flight??

Actually, if you buy at airport for liquor, then they will seal it and you can bring into the plane.

For duty free stuff that you buy, you can actually unwrap and put inside your luggage..As long as you dont consume them, which they dont really check. Unless you're really unlucky hehe. Your receipt will be stapled onto the passport. Even i think, in the event they do check, as long as you didnt consume it, it should be fine. Meaning all your tax free items can be in a separate bag.

Whatever you check in and bring back is up to you, just that if you play it cool and walk through KLIA without getting scanned then no issue lah biggrin.gif  Of course not drugs or illegal stuff, i brought back lots of alcohol on my recent trip in May, if get taxed i'll cry  cry.gif

Also, to maximize your loots, fly ANA coz they allow 2 bags of 20kg each! Totally worth it, good service, good food as well. Airfare was about 1.3k return but that's right after peak period which is mid of May.

For those who are looking for pocket wifi, try Ninja Wifi, they have some promotions once in a while and it's pretty decent. 2 of us shared the pocket device and it could last a whole day, we didnt stream movies, just use it for surfing and google maps. I paid RM264 for 10 days, because they had a promo code if you fly ANA back then.

wahhh...another version of the story laugh.gif
your part is can open and rearrange at my luggage

for pocket wifi, i already booked wiyo RM108 for 8 days

As I mention by right (law) you are not suppose to open it. Its even stated on the bag. As mention by @Raptor almost most of the time they don't check your luggage unless your luck really ran out. smile.gif.

Yes and No.

By law, you cannot open until you leave Jp. But mostly Jp immigration don't check your luggage.  I also got open the seal bag cos can't really fit the whole thing inside my luggage  laugh.gif  They don't even took out the tax refund paper in my passport that time.

Just careful on the liquid quantity limit and also alcohol stuff.

i personally think if u put it all into check in luggage
there is nothing they can do
but depending how much u bought of course...always play it safe laugh.gif
