clemong busy kena jemput kouhai?

if self employed, how?

any of you tried the homestay thing instead of hotel?

heard from a friend its fun and cheap! cost like 3k a week if i'm not mistaken, they'll bring you around like tour guides, cook for you, downside is you can't ahem back at their house..

but if i only buy the ticket 1 month prior my departure, do u think i still can get the rate which i saw now? i mean i saw Thai air is RM2100, do u think by then i still can get this rate?

planning for the F4 concert...

Hi to all the people who have experienced traveling to Japan, I want to ask a few questions...:

1. For a first timer going to Japan, is it advisable to go by myself as in not part of a tour? I'd love to have freedom in visiting places but are there places where you can only visit when you're a part of the tour? Since I can probably only afford one trip to Japan in my life I want to make the most of it, I want to see everything that makes Japan well... Japan : sakura flowers, ryokans and onsen, temples, Mt. Fuji, Akiba, Harajuku and especially the Ghibli Museum. Plan to visit next year during spring.

2. Is it not advisable to travel to a few areas? Because I want to visit Tokyo and Kyoto or Osaka and I heard it's very costly.

3. How early should I start booking tickets? Should I book accomodation rooms before leaving Msia or can I do it on the spot in Japan (I'm aware sakura viewing season is peak season)?

4. How much money minimum should I have in order to travel to Japan (everything from flight expenses to accomodation and food)? I'm trying to set a target to reach.

Thanks in advance! ><

Well since I'm there in Japan, why not give the shinkansen a try? How expensive is it?

Ermm, I'll be staying there for 3 months probably. From October til December but I'm planning to go back to Malaysia in the first week of January. I want to see how Japanese celebrate the new year   

supernothing, you're welcome to join me if you want.

Is fast-food considered halal there? Cause I don't think we can really eat chicken or beef there, other than seafood. The last time I went I only survive with takoyaki, sushi, maggi (that I brought) and salmon onigiri.

Where exactly in Kyoto? Ermm I'm still looking for a place, but the school is around the Shiju station subway so I'll probably try to find a place near there. I'm also considering to buy a second hand bicycle, to save on subway fare. A dorm or shared room is quite ok I guess, around 4 people per room. If too many then probably would be uncomfortable. I'm open to any suggestions.   

Oh duringthe time that I went to LaQua, the woman who sold me the ticket said something about for something measures, in case my tudung got stuck during the ride or something.

Ooo firedauz, are you in tokyo? I'm planning to drop by during weekends there by night bus (save money), maybe you could show me around?    One more question, is it cheaper to buy a laptop here or in Japan?

wow, which school is that? how much is your budget for staying that long. if can find such school in gunma...  can minus the budget for accommodation 

fast food... there's a loophole on that. it's a loophole going around malaysian students in japan. if you're TOO picky about the halal-ness of food then better forget about it. just ignore the meat and go seafood all the way.

demm i love kyoto, wish i could live there.

better to buy laptop in malaysia.

The school is ARC Academy.  You can check it out here - http://arc-eg.com/nihongo/
I already contacted there and they are very nice and prompt in replying me. The other reason I choose this school is sometimes they offer external class outing during weekend like going to USJ and Nara. They also only have one session of class either morning or evening, so plenty of time for sightseeing and maybe a part time job (just for safety measure in case money runs out). At first I  thought that I want to take a class in Tokyo but due to the living cost I change my choice to Kyoto. Besides people said Kyoto are much nicer during that time of the year. My budget? Well it depends on how much I eat I guess.   

The class cost around RM5,000. I budget my accommodation around RM6,000 (since I,m going alone, if more people are going of course I could spend less. Airfare probably around RM2,000 (going to buy at the next MAS fair after got the date when the class start). Probably money spend on sightseeing,subway and bicycle around RM2,000? Since I'm gonna buy a bicycle it can cut cost on the subway. So probably just pend it on theme park entrance ticket and train to Tokyo. That's already RM15,000. So I would probably say give or take around RM30k for spending three months in Kyoto? I think I read somewhere that people spend the same amount for only 1 month in Tokyo. That's why I think Kyoto is much cheaper. Besides Osaka is near, and people told me they sell a lot of halal meat there.

Actually, I'm not really that picky. After all beggars can't really be choosers right? As long as its not pork or alcohol it;s ok i guess. BEeides I always prefer fish to chicken    Do tell me about the loop hole please. Sorry supernothing, I dont think they have the school i Gunma though. But you're still welcome to join me. Btw, may ask are you female or male?

Chemong, you're already in Japan? It must be exciting. Can you tell me about the weather during fall? Should I pack extra thick clothing? People say that Japan can be quite cold during that time of year.

jpa sholarship student are u?

In that case more better for me then.   

The most expensive probably would be accommodation, tuition fee and airfare. Other than that, since I'm gonna be alone if something should happen there's probably nobody I could turn to especially if financial problem (the high exchange rate and all). So I though it would be good if I brought extra money. If I goe extra cash then maybe I could splurge it to go to sightseeing other place than Kyoto.   

Ooo is the coat much cheaper there?

Hahaha, gotcha! So how long have you been studying in Japan? And where are you exactly?

Btw, I already have an Esprit winter jacket bought in Bandung last year for RM70 at on of the FOS there. I think that should do it. If not I'll just buy one there.
