Incredible windy today, take one step forward but two steps back. Feels like paper flying away lol

There are both sides on a coin as they said. Just at toyo lake and almost all prc ppl brought their big suitcase onto the public bus, some alone even have one big backpack and 2 big suitcase wtf, and putting the backpack on the seat.

Making a lot of ppl can’t even walk to the back and sit. Even the bus driver is screaming to all these ppl but they don’t care. Really speechless haiz

Ya every white ppl I saw so far bring big ski equipment while prc ppl bring big suitcase lol

Yup, in fact I’m the first to stand in line waiting the zoo to open
I took the bus around 8:45am and reach there at around 9.15am. My whole body freezing waiting an hour and 15 mins.

So lucky can see so many penguins walk.. During my time when the gate opens and only 3 penguins walk out everyone was like huh why so few but I only saw the 11am slot, 2.30pm I already took the bus to go back to hotel scare later the bus will super full

Went to both toya lake and hell valley yesterday, super heavy snow and wind. Hard to see with snow blowing onto my face and everyone either slipped or fallen during the hell valley bridge walk. Both places are pretty, just bit too much tourists. Will return in the future during summer time.

Now at Hakodate, tbh not much to do. Already went to all the famous places in 2 days, still left 3 days to go lol. The road here is even harder to walk than Sapporo with all the ice melting. Lucky Pierrot was delicious though, and very big portion. One meal can last one day

For some reason all the people decided to stand on the centre of the road to take pictures, really smh. Cars honking but nobody give af.

I took batik air early this month, and the service was pretty good. Plenty of legroom too, but need to prepared something to get past the boredom onboard lol.

What provider you with? I’m using digi roaming, everyday 3gb internet and will refreshed daily. I believe celcom and maxis have the same roaming plan also.

Thanks will check it out!

Nope good old SIM card, esim should work the same too

I just went to all these places 3 weeks ago, car is preferable than public transport. If without car a lot of places will be very headache to go to. Parking and gas are not cheap though so better prepare some budget for both.

If coming this and next week prepare yourself for hot afternoon and cold night. Am in Tokyo right now and night is super windy and cold.

Ya we are so so lazy, even a 5 mins walk from the hotel to the station my mom already complaint why so far, why don’t want stay nearer like a min to the station. She would also nag me to take taxi for a 10-15 mins walk to a location. Sometimes travelling with family/friends can be very troublesome too.

Tokyo snow today

Yup haha, stairs were very slippery. I almost fall twice when buying dinner… Tonight walk around Shinjuku heavy wind. Walk one step and the wind brings you two step backward. Btw, you still in Tokyo?

Same dei, I also arrived in Tokyo on 19th feb after travel finished hokkaido. Wind that day was really insane and super duper cool, luckily I decided to took taxi to my serviced apartment near ikebukuro. Was thinking of taking metro and walk to the apartment but was too lazy that day thank god. TBH I can’t wait to go back to MY, miss the food there so much, have to stuck here until early may due to work and family

Air Asia is reliable since they only have one flight per day, the chances of cancelling is vey low but there are slight delay sometimes. The problems are that the seat is very uncomfortable and timing not that great. But land in haneda is very convenient.

Nah, almost all the jap people do not give a fuck, yes having a precautions mindset is good but life’s goes on. You can’t control nature. Just like you cannot control whether or not you will die in a car accident tmr. There are rehearsals here and there on what to do during an earthquake but it’s pretty chill.

You will only be in Japan for a very short period of time, imagine the jap ppl who lived there their whole life. Where would they go lol? So just go and enjoy your travel. No need to worry about all this and that. If really happens during your travel then just think it as gods will.

Around 3000 - 4000 if I’m not mistaken, there’s a late night surcharge from 10pm to 5am

From go taxi

Add suica/pasmo card on your apple wallet and just tap every time you pass through the gate. 99% of the time works fine whether lock or unlock. Same if you want to pay something with suica on vending machine or at convenience store. Even if your phone no battery still can tap as long your suica got money.

No need to download the suica app.

2 days ago i flew back from haneda to kl and noticed a lot of ppl arriving cause now golden week... also depends on when you go too i guess. when i arrived back in feb immigration very smooth, less than 10 mins already out from the airport.

the AA i took was delayed from arriving from kl to haneda, hence when i back need to wait until 2.30am... the plane arrived at 1 am. you can check the history here: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/XAX522
