6 more days to go, fellas

A friendly advice is that don't forget your passport & money
(and while you are in the airplane or off at a transit, don't forget your boarding pass).

As for the gathering -- remember to bring your camera for the group photo

lol, kennysia just complained about the japan visa in his blog

waaaaaa so nice u all going for gathering hu hu hu...

hmmm 12th april onwards, the sakura still got or not a? so sad if cannot see...huhu..

oh, regarding the phone, wat is the most recommended network to use there a? digi/celcom/maxis?? pls help...tq

thinking the best ever network is:
CHECK FOR PREPAID RATES! if you thinking to be SAFE not SAVE ya...its a roaming duh!....
So find out the cheapest rate for the prepaid. For me using it as EMERGENCY CALL from M'sia then..

And in other case, IF you are looking for the prepaid phone then forget not to look for me yah..I got a unit for sale hehehe!
ONLY 1 unit ya...not for business sake ...welcome to Japan again!

prepaid phone?? meaning wat?

Why all excited about gathering nobody help me??

i need all of your help.. huhu

Hi you can say:

"Sapporo Eki made onegai shimasu". (To Sapporo Station please)

"Sapporo Eki dou yatte ikimasuka?" (How to go to Sapporo Station)

F4tE: As far as I recall, there are no counters to sell tickets but the ticket machines will all have "English" menu option. So, don't worry too much... Also, there'll be staffs around to help you if you ask them. Most of them will speak basic English.

The JAL receptionist advised me not to speak Eigo too fast to the Japanese (even though they understand a little), or else they'll run away with red face !

Well, that's good advice.

Like i said earlier - they speak basic English... so, don't expect for them to understand normal conversation speed & speech... but if you slow down and speak word by word " Ticket. to. Sapporo. for. one. person. " (you get the idea...) then they'll understand.

Added on March 23, 2009, 10:24 pmNot sure if by the 12th there'll still be sakura left or all the leaves start growing already... but keep praying.

If all methods fail, just try asking for help from the Information Counter at the airport.
100% they'll speak English

Hi guys,

I'm new here. I'm planning to visit Japan somewhen mid of Aug this year. Can any of you guide me as to where I can get cheap flight tickets? Right now, I'm thinking of just doing 2 weeks of the Hokkaido Island. Thus, how much would a typical ticket from KLIA to the CTS airport? Whic airline is the cheapest?
Thank you very much.

In case any of you been to Hokkaido on your own, is it hard to travel around, I mean to the exact destination once you come of the JR train. I read that the buses are very limited per day and they take quite a long time to travel from one point to another in Hokaido due to it's landscape.

that's why, I'm still thinking if I should do the cities in the Honshu Island instead.
How much would if cost me to fly from KLIA to the Narita airport, then?

Thank you!

I will be in hokkaido by that time.. can take u go shopping then i have a teman wif me...
