hi guys, i'll be going to tokyo alone to meet someone in dec29th09 until 9thjan10 . will fly with ANA air. not really sure whether thats a good airline but ive already bought the ticket thru travelocity.com. I will be staying around harajuku. Anyhow, i have few curiosities and questions that i need to know before i go there. hope you guys can give some advice.

1. visa application - do i really need balance of 6k in my account to apply for visa? cause at the moment i only have 2k but my 3 mths account statement provide info that i have 15k going in and out of my account. am i qualified or not?
2. i know its gonna be winter during my visit so im thinking of buying one winter cloth here and buy the rest over there. how much approximately winter cloth there cost? i wanna look updated!
3. i am thinking to bring ranging 3-4k for the trip (depends on how much i can save). is that enough? accommodation + food + transport = provided. half of meal cost will be borne by me tho.
4. where do you guys always hang out? maybe i can drop by to meet you guys.
5. ive made some research about places to go but i wanna keep my options open so please let me know where to go.

tanoshi.. thanks for you clearance

japan embassy is that strict?? my goodness such troublesome. hrmm maybe ill borrow some cash from my parents and put in my account for temporary. that should be fine right?

i went for survey at universal traveler and most of their nice winter cloth are priced above 400! how much is a nice one at flea market in jap? hrmmm maybe ill borrow from any of my friends then.

3-4k not enough to shop? little bit shopping? what are the things that i need to spend on then besides accommodation, food, and transport cause all those three are provided.

most of you guys are working or studying there?

talking about itinerary.. ist compulsory for me to write everything in the visa application? cause i only write one.lol.

thank you so much for your explanation. i borrowed cash from my parents already and put into my account. im gonna print out bank statement and ill certified and chop on my own cause ima banker lol.

it seems like troublesome to do the guarantee letter. cause i need to have her copy of passport. she needs to scan and send the picture for me to print out right? and i need to request her info and write the guarantee letter some more. am i right?

thanks for the recommendation. i decided to buy one and borrow the rest. i just bought one jacket very cheap! rm130 at winter time cause they were doing sale thingy. if i need more ill just get it there.

to everybody: if you guys want anything (light) from malaysia let me know. i can bring it but you guys have to collect it yourself around harajuku, shinjuku the place where ill be staying. cheers!!!

you need to take the flight from sin, means you may need to purchase a KL-SIN-KL flight ticket or bus. But with the budget air, you can get kl-sin well below rm100 net. With add in of this cost, the total cost still much cheaper than direct fly from KL. You may get rm1580 from japan air, but for airline ranking, i think MAS should be better ( just my personal opinion)

yeahh i still think flying with MAS is much easier since its malaysian based airlines. but flying KL-SIN-KL-TYO is abit hassle dont you think so? cause if youre flying from singapore might as well you use other airlines cus there are alot of options like NWA, ANA, Air China which is very cheap. in addition, more flexible flying dates too. i got mine for rm1.5k + 200 (air asia) = 1.7k. i think its alright cause i wanted a specific time and date. check www.asiatravel.com or www.travelocity.com
just my 2 cents

if only we can just buy ticket SIN-KL-TYO but hop on in KL that would make life easier

moody5,
i got mine for 1.7k all in. rm1500 for ANA airways (would be fun to see jap stewardess lol) flying non-stop to NRT from SIN. And 200 return flight KL-SIN for airasia. its better to find cheaper alternatives if you can cause you can use those saved money for shopping! woot woot. i wanted to buy MAS at first cause its easier but come to think of it i only save few hours of hustle but i can save 700-800 if use different airlines. 800 can buy ipod during waiting time! lol

kei-kun,
i wish i can just go into the bank's vault and take few hundred thousands and go to japan meet you guys everything will be on me! but its only a wish tho *sigh. haha

tanoshi,
its my quote bro. pm me on the thing you wish for. i can use my money first if its not expensive and you can pay me back there. make sure its light alright? dont ask me to bring your gf or sister lol

i need some clarification on this
--> it seems like troublesome to do the guarantee letter. cause i need to have her copy of passport. she needs to scan and send the picture for me to print out right? and i need to request her info etc. and fill everything into the form. no sign needed right?
