hope to see you there!

Actually I also afraid of the coldness uncertainty in Japan. I just bought a jacket + long john... hope is enough to keep me warm XD. Maybe i will wear 2 jackets + 1 shirt + long john = 4 layers XD

glad to hear another fellow LYN to join the gathering. welcome to the gath!

are you going for holiday or business? seemed it is a short visit . staying where? if you don't mind telling.

anyway, long john and jacket would be fine, but you have have extra shirts if you are the type 'tak tahan sejuk'.
gloves would be useless since it would troublesome for you if u need to use coins. just keep your hands in the jacket's pocket. snowcap? a bit hassle if you're not a capwearing person. (i'm not and threw away after wearing it a day).

bah, ramen is not that expensive lah.

Hey,im also departing on 27th March but ur journey start from Taiwan or Malaysia? I've been to Asakusa Smile before. That  place is quite hype for a young people. But this time around, I will be staying at Asakusa Taikosou. Just to remind you that Asakusa Smile is a bit hard to find that place at first. I went there and have to find that place for 1 hour. They give you a free coupon that you can trade it with beer..Nice place

Guys,
