ask something, how is the radiation level now? basically I will go to Osaka, Kyoto area this coming August. Now my family is telling me dun go as someone just came back from Japan said kena radiation cause after come back not feeling well (medical checkup and doctor said so) ...

Osaka is further than Tokyo and I went to Tokyo & Nikko which is closer... Yes abit dizzy but during the experience of 6.1 earthquake there haha. but cumin back feeling so good. If sked, lotsa places also kenot go wan... and how are you gonna eat the food there if u sked all got radioactive.. sumore news mths ago the govt there wanna pull bck the radioactive checking on all food items

well, sure will go cause already planned and so, unless something happen.

before my departure date, this coming few month my family sure keep on mention the same stuff again and again...

i feel it was kinda bad idea to overnite at the airport... coz me n my gf was so exhausted in the next morning... mayb itz our problem... but next time, i will book a hotel to sleep... even nearby aso ok... >.<

I agree it's not for everyone. But my bf and I were okay since we planned a chillax itinerary for day 1 - slept during the flight and also managed to sleep 3 hours at airport then went straight to Tsukiji for sushi. Totally rejuvenated after that meal haha. Then strolled thru Ginza to Imperial Palace and chill there since the weather very nice - saw a bunch of schoolgirls fangirling over a Western dude (damn funny!) - until time to check-in at 3pm. Took an hour nap and went dinner at Shinjuku. Then back for a full night rest - fully recharged next day.


@stimix: I also experienced earthquake! 5.3M in the middle of the night. haha

Got fever and flu after coming back to KL. But the doctor said nothing to worry about. I walked a lot under the sun, so I expected I will get fever one.
Then one kakak at office started talking about me getting radiation thats why fever/flu.
Her auntie coming back from Tokyo and checked with doctor, doctor said her radiation level needs 5 years to clear.
I asked that kakak, did her auntie checked before going to Japan? Compare before and after.

LOL...nice one...Actually Japan everday also got earthquake....I facing quake more than lost count already.


LOL....then My body radiation are until I buried into ground also cannot clear. I was going Japan 2 weeks later for Aid Job after Tohoku Quake. My body absorb radiation are like doing X-ray scan more than 10 times

maybe i should do a check-up be4 going to Japan so that can compare later... Actually what worry is on the food more than the environment, but well I will still going .

It was once of my concern, late night flight to haneda airport. Take no chance and booked airport transfer at ¥ 9,500 to hotel.

Hrm, for myself. I'm the type of person who needs exactly 9hrs of sleep to not feel tired at all (some more must be from 9pm till 6am) but then again that's for when i'm at home.

When I travel, surprisingly, less sleep also ok. HAha. I overnight at Incheon airport before coz the next day flight was at 8am something - fear that won't have time to travel from city to airport coz need 2hrs to check in and the earliest train maybe around 5.30am.

When i landed at haneda (back in sept 2011), there was still time to go from the airplane to the monorail. But i only got to the hostel past midnight..... luckily still got train, if not, sure stuck at the train station!

It shld b ok since their last monorail is about 12.15am and some of the JR train runs till 12.45am.

Please do note:...If you going at Summer ...due to not enough electricity....Last train might end at 10pm only then Cut the power .

bro, wanna ask will AAX damage my backpack if compare to luggage.

since backpack is soft and dont have a fix shape.

thx.

You dun put items that are breakeable inside lah... If you see how they handle your backpack & luggages.. you alos shake your head liao... pakai throw sahaja..

Thanks for the info. Didn't know about that.

As per below. I use my osprey backpack (those 60l) one to travel. I believe that they don't really dare to throw around the bag or put heavier bags on top. This is coz everytime I get back my bag, it still looks ok to me. No scratches, nothing.

I believe they prefer to throw around those hardcases more since you will see lots of deep scratches etc on it.

Tell them tat ur luggage is fragile... Den they will label it without extra charge..

@Shazzac, how much for your osprey backpack - 60L ???

can last longer a?

any nice shop to recommend for backpack ??

Get ready to feel 43C burning sensation....

Interesting placed? alot...but you need do your homework

Hokkaido is 10C colder than Tokyo. So during summer it will be about 20C.
