This series were issued in 1984 and is still accepted as legal tender. If money changer refuse to accept, maybe you need to look closely if it's fake currency (photostat)

Xperia 5 IV not compatible too. Reason given via Shopee chat is that the Xperia's phone's chipset cannot support the sim.

Hello1010's CS on Shopee Chat don't look like they do their checks properly. Yesterday said Xperia 5 IV not compatible with their sim but when asked this morning about Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (also using the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor), they said the Samsung phone is compatible with their sim.

When asked further why the different compatibility response when both use the same processor the response again is "worry chipset not supported". After sharing the phone specs on Sony MY's website and also the model's release date, now they say no compatibility issues with Sony. Huh?

for peace of mind, i'll just use digi roaming. shouldn't have any issue.

hi.

im going to japan again but this time on jan 24 which is much much colder compare to last year march.

should i bring glove? should bring lesser shirt as less sweat during this period?

location : nagoya

and i heard its quite a hassle to bring our prepack meal(kembara) in there as japan quite strict on this in this few months. isit correct?

bcoz try to search around pork/alcohol free restaurant macam very less compare to osaka

NO Raw meat & vegetable. Fruits also not allow.  Anything been cook or process are allow but not fruits...even cut fruits also not allow. 
REMEMBER..NO FRUITS!!  I saw someone bring fresh orange inside backpack kena check by custom, Penalty 300k Yen  shocking.gif

i think this is known. as some fruit outside contain different type of bug/worm. but to charge 300k yen!! holy cow. haha

thanks for reminder tho

its recommended to cover as much skin as possible during the winter months esp deep into January, even if you can take the cold your skin will dry out and peel very fast unless you generously cover with lotion or moisturisers

as for the prepacked meal, one of the main issues if you ask me isnt the food itself, but the heater pack. some said airlines dont allow for carry on only, but some said even check in not allowed as the heater pack considered too volatile

i would suggest bringing those prepacked meals that do not have heater packs, or remove them beforehand. you can easily boil to reheat or microwave it when in JP
*
ah then i understand. due to the heater pack itself thats why. noted. so i can just simply bring kembara fruit to there and heat using water heater in toilet lol.

thanks bro.



might go to gifu to play with snow. we should able to rent boot over there right.
and for glove i saw uniqlo selling heattech glove about rm70+ may consider that.

Only the Japan eSIM Softbank in trip.com line works best. Can go 300Mbps+  brows.gif

Japan SoftBank Docomo 4G/5G eSIM|Daily+Total|1-30 days|QR code
