Hi guys!
I am back! and I just got back from my Japan trip yesterday too.
before I post anything about the trip, lets get a few 'Lesson Learn' out of the way.
1. you might want to study your flight time before you buy them. Ours had a layover of over 12 hours before we finally fly off to Japan and thats another 8 hours. THE WAITING WAS UNBEARABLE!
2. buy data line, rent pocket wi-fi, etc at the airport when you arrived. utmost important!
We didn't. and it was hard trying to find our hotel without the internet. we didn't even have a map. and none of us can read Kenji! nasib ada a paci and an uncle sudi to help us lost ladies. ahahaha
3. you might want to check the nearest train station (if thats your main transport) to your hotel AND place of destination. It might say on Agoda that "20mins from this destination to that destination" In reality, we stayed at a hotel that was 5 to 7 stops away from our wanted destination. *ketawa sampai keluar air mata* its not even funny.
4. Jangan malu bertanya. Kalau inda tau, tanya. If you didn't ask, the answer will always be 'No'.
Just ask, When in doubt, ask. People in Japan are very helpful. Some are more friendlier than others but they still help. You may look dumb to them but hey, you're a visitor. you don't live there. you are bound to not know about stuff. What I like about Japan is that even when they do not speak English well, they still try their hardest and best to help you. its very touching.
5. I don't know about you but my best choice for footwear was my Fipper, the currently famous flip flop in Brunei.
I wore shoes the day I fly to Japan (8th and 9th), and then when I was in Universal Studio Japan (10th) and lastly, I wore it at Disneyland (12th). the rest, I just slipped on my flip flop. remember when I mentioned about how our hotel was far away from the train station? yeah, I walked a lot and I'm telling you now that I never walked so much in my life! thus my feet hurt like hell hence the wearing comfortably of the flip flop.
I might be missing some more points but
I think that is all for now.
I will add some more in the next post if I came across one along the way.
Until next time,
ciao~

Welcome back!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThese lesson learned are very very important I think to me (and I am so glad you write about this on blog!!)
Pocket wifi, I don't know how important it is until you mentioned it! I went to Singapore a few times without renting any Pocket wifi and I still survived. I don't think I can survive without it in nonEnglish countries like Japan, S. Korea? =O
Jangan malu bertanya is my forever pet peeves!! I don't like having to ask, especially at something really common. But I guess lesson learnt, and I gotta ask without hesitation.
Flip flop is the best!! When I went to Spore a few years ago, I thought I wanna look good by bringing shoes. Unexpectedly, wearing shoes equals to tiredness and feeling stuffy for some unknown reasons. I ended up buying a cheap flip flop there and it was the bestest feeling ever! Since then, I always brought my flip flops and wear it whenever I go overseas! XD
Looking forward to your post.
And happy late birthday to youuuuuuu!!!! <3 Wish you health, happiness, prosperity and luck! Saranghae~!
