well, i dont know about japan, but i assume it is a lot cheaper than a month trip to EUROPE.

I went to europe ( 7 country, 9 cities ). It was a tiring trip, but hey, it is worth every single cent i spent. So here are the budget report.

SINGAPORE AIRLINES ( return tickets ) RM3500. Stop in London Heatrow.
EASYJET- London to barcelona Barcelona to berlin Berlin to basel Vienna to London, London to Rome Rome to Paris = RM1900
Bus from basel to stutgart, munich, vienna, klagenfurt = RM300
Euro Train PARIS to LONDON = .. forgot....

The others are food and souvenir. In total for a month trip ( including shopping in primark PARIS and berlin ) = RM14000


So heres a tip, try applying an MSC student card ( international student card, and arrange with them for a trip to JAPAN. ) A WHOLE LOT OF BENEFIT FOR STUDENT!!
1. EXTRA Luggage weight = 30KG per person
2. CHEAP FLIGHTS and ACCOMODATION! REALLY CHEAP!
3. GUIDE can be arrange
4. Free entrance on museum and other public attraction with the card.

if not, just go for qatar airlines, they usually have discount price to hot spot.

hmm. thanks for the feedback.. any1 else who is going to Japan or already traveled there b4?

Does anyone has any idea on how to book Tokyo Disneyland's ticket online?

you buy them either at the ticket center in Tokyo, or at the main entrance. you can't buy them online.

so i don't have to buy the ticket in advance?

no you don't have to. you usually want to visit tokyo disneyland in the morning, and if you go early enough, the lines really aren't that bad. just don't go during their holidays.

okay thanks.. i just thought that it would be more secured if i could make online reservation ahead of my trip to Disneyland..

okay, I found this: http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/online/en/
I was wrong.

erkkk...you may buy it in any conbini as well hehehe...

yeah but she only has two days in Tokyo so going there and then going to a konbini isn't quite so convenient. if she can do it online, all the better

I know there is a pinned thread for Japan but this thread is specially for food in area stated in Japan. Please suggest and I will update the list.
