Tokyo (thread 2)

^ for bpi, you need to call them pa beforehand to let them know na gagamitin abroad ang atm mo. So we usually just use bdo or metrobank kasi no need to call na. Any machine na me Plus/Maestro/Cirrus logo (check your atm card). Fee, if I recall correctly is nasa $2-$3 per transaction lang. We make sure we withdraw max allowable (equivalent to php25k-50k, depends on your bank limit per transaction) para sulit ang transaction fee. Namamahalan na kasi kami sa conversion rates ng credit card now, so we usually just pay in cash (except sa US, where we use dollar-denominated cc).

sis try mo sa terranova, don ko nabili sakin nasa 1k lang. kinaya naman nya - degrees pero naka 2 layers ako sa loob

[gorgeous_me]

^naku sis, nung nagpunta kami ng terranova, out of stock, e bukas na flight namin, wala na akong time, haha..o well, layering na lang, haha

[shygirlme]

^nung january kasi nakasale sya eh, nagubos siguro sila ng stocks. o kaya don ka nalang bumili hehe!

[gorgeous_me]

^oo nga sis, kahit sa uniqlo nagsale non, hindi kami bumili, kasi wala pang visa, haha, pero sana nag-invest na lang kami para sure, haha

OT: mga sis, yung surutto kansai card ba, sakop ang Arashiyama? last time kasi, sa Nara ko siya nagamit, pero hindi pwede sa Fushimi Inari. Baka hindi namin masulit, kaya nagdadalawang isip ako kung bibili pa kami, o ticket na lang don, hehe

[princess lorraine]

Hi! We didn't push through with our tokyo trip this holy week because i got pregnant last year and i have a one month old baby right now. Next year nalang kami. Where is the best place to stay in tokyo if we are going to disneyland, disney sea, sanrio puroland, odaiba, shopping (uniqlo, don quixote, shisheido, h&m, etc) ? Will it be ginza, shibuya or shinjuku? My aunt recommends dai-ichi hotel in ginza near shimbashi station. Medyo kabado lang ako to explore tokyo with hubby and 5 yr old daughter kasi i heard complicated daw ang train system dun. Thanks in advance. 

[scents01]

Sis musta ang stay mo dito? enjoy ba?>
san ka na nakapunta?

sis! puro trabaho hahaha hindi pa ako masyadong nakakapamasyal.. shibuya and shinjuku yes kasi may mga clients haha tomorrow, ueno kasi client meeting din.. don quixote and mitsumoto kiyoshi yes din kasi malapit lang sa place namin.. yung tokyo tower tanaw namin from roppongi, pwede na hahaha disneyland for my birthday next week mukhang postponed kasi work pa rin.. pambihira, need kong bumalik dito haha sis, san ba maraming bilihan ng baby clothes dito?


sis gorgeous_me, dito ka na bumili ng heattech, ang dami saka mura!! yung heattech na leggings na binili ko sa uniqlo ginza, 700yen lang, yung sa uniqlo shibuya 1000yen.. dunno kung bakit iba price.. anyway, pati bubble jacket mura dito, 5000yen lang, buti hindi ko binili yung sa northface sa pinas worth 12k pesos..


sis princess lorraine, medyo complicated yung train system nila pero okay naman.. i just downloaded the map in my iphone and im ready to go.. just be wary of the exit numbers kung san ka pupunta kasi napansin ko most of the train stops here, ang daming exits.. so far hindi pa kame naliligaw kahit sa mga province na kame pumupunta
