nice smile.gif i do know how to ask stuff like what you gave in your example but ill wont be able to undedrstand the answer given by them  sweat.gif so ill go with your little neat 'trick'  laugh.gif

1) another thing... fromers/lonely planet ect, are they any good in places in tokyo and kyoto? or just go join some sort of mini tour there to get myself familiarize and then only go 'langaring abouts' ?
im thinking of doing what i did when i was in budapest, clutching my fromers and walk around the city and go 'langar-langar'  sweat.gif

2) early summer(july) or late summer (late aug-late sep) ? would like to make it for winter or easter instead but unlikely i will be able to due to the timing of my course...

3) 'backpacking' style of travelling in those 2 city... aka. no booking of accommodation(walk-in), would that be crazy/suicidal(not physically of course)? - just wanting your opinion/gut feel  sweat.gif
why you might ask, i dont know if this particular trip would even materialize until the very last minute(around early july ish).

dude i think the best answer is from Firedauz...its diff from my exp...sometimes i ask i short: shibuya doko? they only can show platform nimber thats it! huhuhu...at least the best you bring a small japanese english dictionary (in romaji should be alright) oh ya...IF you can ask the young lady who can speak 'skoshi' english then she will feel excited lol!..(they normally have an english background bit then no frenz to practice it huahahaha)

1. tokyo n kyoto is very accessible by public transportation. tokyo metro has a day pass for around 800 yen while the kyoto city bus day pass is just 500 yen. i suggest u go yourself, get a guide book or research off the internet.

2. late sept. july/aug would be hot hot hot, hotter than malaysia. it's humid.

3. urm.. walking-in might be hard if u don't know where to look for and usually more expensive.

thank for the reply.

hmm.... late sep is kinda hard for me >_< as my course starts at oct sad.gif ill think of something then.

regarding the walk-in thing, when you say more expensive, do you know how much more i would be expecting to payfrom the 'normal' price ?a rough % would do(just to see if it is worth the premium i might be paying)

i'm not saying that there's a premium but if by just walking around looking for a place, u might not find a place as cheap as sth u'll get on the internet.

rm3k for a return tix is quite normal

i do understand what you meant, what i was saying is i just want a 'feel' of how much i might be expecting to spend extra due to not booking as im also aware that if you book in advance the tendency to get a good deal is higher

end of the year period is the most expensive? hmmm..... thats weird, as i had a few friends who went there for 2 weeks through the new year last year and that cost them about 800 ish pounds(about 5.5k RM) with everything inclusive (flight+ accomodation in hilton if i remember correctly) flying from london. guess they had a really good deal then...

i might consider spring if i can make it since you mentioned that its not too 'pack' during that time smile.gif

urm,i'm not sure as i always book beforehand. i could be wrong la, but when i travel at the end of the yr, airlines always charge me a premium cos of the hols period. if they stay in hilton for 2 weeks, then it's kinda cheap tongue.gif oh about spring, watch out for sakura season. if u come during that time, u'll definitely experience the life of a tinned sardine fish!

It was free entrance on all 3 days thumbup.gif

Sugoi (correct word) or sugei (slang) just generally meant like 'nice', 'cool' or 'good stuff' biggrin.gif
(though in actuality, nice = kirai/kirei, cool = kak-kui, its just something to say in general) tongue.gif
