The phones not sure if can buy here to use but my 3G phone can use there.; 9:59 PM
Nicholas said...: Tips em... even when my "half bucket water" japanese I can use there. My gf brought a eng-jap dictionary but we never used it. So don't worry about language. (for wingéd densetsu.) Most hotel and shop staffs understand some english.

Bring more money. A can of drink there is 120 Yen, 100 Yen = $1.36.

Make sure your memory card for camera is big enough, I took about 400 photos and 60 videos in 7 days.

Quite cold in spring, bring gloves and extra jackets. 7 degrees celcius in the morning. The tour leader told us its same temp as Singapore! Imagine how cold me and my gf were.; 10:17 PM
wingéd densetsu said...: How about...'must have some guys around instead of just gals if going without tour'? LOL

btw, how much did u spend in all, i need to know to see if my budget is correct, where did u go, etc?; 12:38 AM
Nicholas said...: Need guys for what? Bring $500 should be enough. As I said, Japanese stuff are more expensive compared to Sing$ so Singaporeans not willing to spend there. The same stuff can be bought cheaper in Singapore. If just buy some suveniors and food, $500 more than enough.

The itinerary is almost same as http://www.scenic-travel.com/asia/japan/japan.htm (see the 6-day tour), except my trip is a 7 day and has an extra Universal Studios.; 12:48 AM
