QUOTE(PhakFuhZai @ Jul 14 2017, 03:47 PM) is that so? by right when flying from JP to MY, its supposedly 1 hour less if timezone were to take into consideration, as we literally "gain" 1 hour extra upon landing on Malaysia soil i checked all my previous tickets, the amount of times flying is almost the same, at most different is around 15 minutes

QUOTE(sacwoc @ Jul 14 2017, 04:15 PM) Nope they dont charge extras for luggage. Its a matter of fitting in 6 people plus luggage into a taxi. If you get a Alphard, there is a possibility you might be able to squeeze in, unless you have a lot of big luggage. Also the price of a Alphard and 5 seater taxi is the same. Remember one time I manage to get an Alphard from Haneda with just my computer bag. Damn shiok.  hmm...the last time i took wit my sis n bro in law, i get charged for one extra baggage. tht is normal size cab la, midnight also.

QUOTE(idoblu @ Jul 17 2017, 11:00 AM) 7gb ???  haha somehow i really used a lot of data in japan, 90% all googles map and google to find stuff QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Jul 17 2017, 11:03 AM) So its because the price is cheap? Can always get chinti sacwoc or RegentCid to recommend a brand/ SIM Package that is value for money and easy for you to find. usually i rent portable wifi coz cheaper than prepaid sim n get more data

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Jul 17 2017, 11:17 AM) You guys are splitting up is it? If that's the case then yes, more convenient to use SIM. http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Japan FREETEL is cheaper than U-Mobile and you can find it in Yodobashi and BIC, scroll down link to check it out: Data rates The SIM is either valid for 7 or 30 days according to package and not extendable in time, only expandable in volume: 1 GB for 7 days: ¥1,780 plus tax (Amazon.jp/Yodobashi: ¥1,922; Amazon.com: US$12.99) 2 GB for 30 days: ¥2,780 plus tax (Amazon.jp/Yodobashi: ¥3,000; Amazon.com: US$24.99) When you have used up your data allowance, speed will be reduced to 150 Kbps for the rest of the validity. The only add-on option is 500 MB for ¥980 to be bought on their website. Social media of Facebook, WeChat, WhatsApp, Kakaotalk and Line is not debited from the data allowance and is free of charge. can just go to yodobashi or bic and slowly choose from there, the staff will help set it up as well to make sure its running QUOTE(kidmad @ Jul 17 2017, 11:23 AM) close your google history. i think that's what sipping off all your data. by right just google maps and browsing and whatsapp that would not cost 7gb. haha no worries, i know how to increase the portable wifi limit for free

QUOTE(soyabean123 @ Jul 18 2017, 05:11 PM) I will definitely check on Apple Tour. Thanks for recommending.  My mum also ask me to check on Golden Destinations Travel, her friend told her to wait as there will be a promotion package. Any idea about how's the review for this agency? Budget around RM5-6k per pax. Our purposes to visit Japan are shopping and Foods  I actually prefer to DIY, but since i never been to Japan. It will be very difficult to plan for the first time, plus recently my works are overloaded. So, we decided to signup tour package from travel agency. Next time will be DIY then and Yep, my mum is still can walk, run and jump.  for shopping n foods i dun really recommend following tour, will be quite a waste of money. japan is by far one of the easiest country to visit even if u cant speak japanese, can easily plan out an itinerary in less than a week. plus u will get all sort of advise n tips from this thread as well as recommended places to shop or eat.

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Jul 19 2017, 09:18 AM) A lot of different opinion from forumers  there's no right or wrong, only personal opinion of what is best. While I always root for DIY, I understand your situation. First time to any country (that don't remotely looks like KL) can be overwhelming and confusing. Since you have decided on tour, I agree with it as well. Not just itinerary, but Japan requires extensive research if you plan to walk around on your own. I doubt I'll be able to go around on my own, had it not been my friends who led the trip in my first visit. Because they brought me around and I experienced the place, I was able to plan my 2nd and 3rd trip without worry. Its because I know what to expect. For recommendation of agency, I'll root for Mayflower. Honestly speaking, I liaise with Mayflower on many occasions for event, trips (work related) and they are very professional. I'm not sure how much it'll cost for your trip to Japan, but you can rest assured that things are well taken care of with Mayflower. And they work transparently, so you don't have to worry about any hidden cost. Last but not least, with your budget, go for packages with more Free & Easy. That will enable you to enjoy shopping and food more leisurely. i find KL harder than any other country tht i've been to b4. i still dunno the road around KL...not even all those highways name like sprint n so on

QUOTE(skydrake @ Jul 19 2017, 11:54 AM) oct is just the beginning of autumn, i don't think i can see much red leaves. I choose mid to end oct because of the weather not too cool but rain lesser and also I got a year old daughter scare too cold for her. only stay in tokyo and going for day trip as furthest as eg, hakone, fujikawa, kanagawea, yokosuka n kamakura just for sight seeing by bus or rent car. the rest will be within tokyo eg, disney and the rest everyone had mentioned before. not a hardcore distance travel, it will be very free n easy all thru train and bus. mid to end definitely can c the nice view in nikko d, here check out the event in nikko http://nikko-travel.jp/english/event/its the only time where it's worth staying one night in nikko, else day trip is sufficient not tht far, same as going to hakone only and its definitely worth it during fall season This post has been edited by chinti: Jul 19 2017, 11:58 AM
