QUOTE(tohff7 @ Dec 15 2018, 10:41 PM) I have no experience buying from Disney website, but i think you at least can save as pdf to reprint. or have the pdf sent to your email I bought from Klook, which they sent me pdf to print. Anyway, the only important thing in the self-print is just the QR code. Usually got 4 similar QR codes at the 4 corner, so no matter how you fold the paper, you'll still get the QR code at the end. but i taking air asia no time to redeem before 11pm Thanks btw ehehe QUOTE(Blofeld @ Dec 16 2018, 12:21 AM) u can always click print as pdf then it will 'print' as pdf meaning it will be converted into a pdf file for you to save. oh okies, cos the "notification" that appears before buying that asks me to ensure my printer is connected kinda weird lol, maybe in Japan only as if if no printer, i cant print and all my money burnt

Maybe it’s not available now? Quite curious since I just used Klook in April trip this year

QUOTE(cc980024 @ Dec 14 2018, 10:22 PM) We travel around with my boy since he was 3yrs old. Every online booking, we will indicate 2 adults n 1 child (provide age info). We don't really bother if they charge for the kid or not, just to make sure stress free for a vacation. And if any argument on hotel arrangement, with a booking properly said number of pax will always win. Recent trip, we booked a suite room in a osaka hostel. Booking indicated 2 single bed + 1 sofa bed for us 2 adults + 11yr old child. When we were there, the reception behave as in not expecting 3pax. When I insist we booked for 3pax and it mentioned sofa bed, she insist they only have sofa in the room, not sofa bed. Anyway, I don't care, and tell her my boy can have the sofa...or whatever, we just want our room without extra charge as my booking is accurate, hotel info misleading. In the end, they setup the sofa bed for us. Guess what, it really is sofa bed in the room. But don't know why they try to be funny with us. For Japan, it is better to get a bed space for each pax. Unless you go for premium hotel or you all really small built. As you don't really know if their bed big enough to share. Thanks for the details bro  Me last travel was Airbnb so we didn’t have issues, never been to japan so it’s good to know how the hotels work there Thanks again!

QUOTE(kalnet @ Dec 15 2018, 11:09 PM) I would like to ask if anyone knows any good website for apartment rentals? I'm gonna be living there for a year or so for work purposes in the middle of next year so I might as well plan now. Thanks! If you are renting for a year, then you have to go through the proper channel. Unless you have a big budget, then you can look for those short term service aparment that can cost from 200,000yen/month. If you can read japanese you can go to home.co.jp. Normally pages that have english cater to expat and what they have is normally on the high side. Alternatively look for some share house, where you get your own room but share toilets/kitchen like this: https://www.sakura-house.com/So depends very much on your budget.

Specially morning and night have most ice on road, super slippery and super hazard. AWD & Winter tyre still better option. Most important was always drive slow

But you still need to be cautioned because the snow which compressed become ice is very slippery. You will slidely lost control even roll over a hand palm size of ice.

Hi all.
Im going to tokyo city next month. And since this is first time I experience winter, seeking your advice on this;
1) Which one better? Wearing a multiple sheet of cloth + winter jacket is better OR should I go for thermal wear + a shirt + winter cloth. ( for going out)
2) Method of transportation from haneda airport to my airbnb (Kamata station) which better? *Use taxi all the way (which cost around 2000-5000 yen) **airport limousine bus>kamata station *** or use all train (keikyu>kamata station) Because my flight arrive on 1030pm, +/- after clearance, should be around 11-1130pm japan time. Do some research and found that the train close late on weekends

Do some research and found that the train close late on weekends I think airport limousine bus will be your best choice. Train exact schedule you can check using Hyperdia Last but no least, should you really need to take taxi, you can download this app called 'Japan Taxi'. Basically GrabTaxi for Japan. Got 500yen coupon for first time user (payment other than Cash). If you register now, the coupon can last till end-Jan before expiring
