Since i probably get forced leave for 2weeks through new year, was thinking to visit japan.
but darn theres a lot of thinks to know/prepare and its like 3weeks away.
I did quick expedia and the roundtrip ticket is already around usd1.1k
i guess travelling late dec-ealry jan not a good idea?

good idea for experience, but not always for wallet.
The visa, must be applied before hand, just like going to usa etc?
not on the spot like going SG?

i've use hostelworld.com for 2 times already(NYC and SG), and it has maps and revoews on hostel around the world.
you can try that for japan ;_

So any MY-otaku going for C75?
im currently planning the trip on my own.
for now i might has trouble for foods, and language.
i may consider staying in hostel as its cheap.
im planning budget trip, so luxury aside

if youre asking me, i plan to go there for C75
im not aiming on any specific doujin from any circle.
just wanna experience c75.
plan to go on christmas and be back after new year.
well, still in planning stage.
im running out of time though

no, its a plant shutdown. as in factory closed door and halt productions.
so during this period, everyone is forced to take leave/go away.

im still looking for a good ticket bargain.
do help me if you know any.
im planning to visit jp from christmas - new yr.
the cheapest ticket so far is rm2.6k via china eastern airlines
the rest is in 3.4k range
accomodation maybe merempat rumah orang or some cheapo hostel.
as long i can visit c75, akiba, skiing should be ok >_<

So i guess im the only one still gambling to look for bestest ticket deal, let let alone yet to book for accomodation
what do you guys say bout China Easter Air from KL to Tokyo via Shanghai?
Another alternative might be SIA, which is rm700 difference >_>

is it possible to apply japan-visa w/o having ticket/itinerary info and accommodation yet?
im indeed running out of time.
oh C75 cosplayan~

If the pink girl can speak malay kelantan dialect, i'd shat bricks.. multiple times.
Anyway, i guess chances for me attending c75 is very slim now..
a 1 month notice is a very bad idea/plan afterall

Sup gais
Im back after last quarter epic fail Japan plan-mission

I believe i need a getaway from my lab after this quarter as its fading uot my sanity, and im planning for a 2week trip to japan.
but i may have few hiccups:
- i dont read/speak japanese
- ronery/probably travel alone
- i believe visa/mastercard dont work in japan

do you guys think 2 weeks trip to visit tokyo/nagoya/osaka enough?
To be exact i have 12days leave max at my disposal, So i want to maximize my japan visit if possible.
I like cultural stuff, and weaboo on the weekends.
Im open to any advice/suggestion on any best time frame/place should i visit with my limited time.
Obviously i cant make it to the sakura withering view ;__;

Thanks guys for the opinion and advices.
I'll start researching on Yokohama and Tokyo.
*Anyway, I do have 12 leaves, which may be a total of 16days off includes Sat/Sun.

Any upcoming cultural events in Japan such as matsuri etc etc?

Sup gais
anyone in Japan is free late this month/early april want to go local(tokyo/osaka) sightseeing?
Im not knowledgly(read/speak) prepared, so one of my option is to tag along with anyone of you for a day or two.

Thanks to firedauz's poison I just made my 1st step to go JP

I'll take that into consideration
