Nakabook kami tokyo sa mid-december, good luck sa weather! Ilang degrees kaya dun? May snow na kaya?

5 days, 4 nights kami... flight na kinuha namin is Manila- Tokyo- Manila Need to back read for itinerary, though matagal pa naman trip. Ano ba kayang puntahan dahil limited to 4 days lang yung full days na makakaikot kami? Kaya pa kaya mag-Disneyland?

Magkano kaya magagastos namin for visa? Nabasa ko kasi kailangan may agency rin...

[honeyblue]

^ sis, visa processing will cost around P1200-1500 depending on the agency. the visa itself is free pero kelangan accredited agency ang mag-aayos. =)

[shygirlme]

^pwede bang ikuha ko ng visa si fiance kahit wala sya sa pinas? Nasa middle east kasi sya.

[greyzie]

^no appearance naman but syempre, you need his passport & other docs

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ feeling ko sis mas mapapadali pa application ni fiance mo if sa Middle East sya maga-apply.

@honeyblue: thanks sis!

@jaylan: pa-pm naman ng link nila or contact details at least trusted naman sila? hehe, katakot kasi minsan yung travel agency, baka fly by night or something. Lol. single entry ba yan or pwede multiple tapos same price?

@yaoeegurl: yey! Thanks sis! Magbabackread talaga ko, parang kailangan e. Hehe.

[honeyblue]

may nakapagtry na ba magbook sa airbnb? we're a big group kasi e kaya we're considering booking there para cheaper. TIA!

sis try takeya, nearest station is ueno-okachimachi.. you can also walk from ueno station.. it's a huge purple building of everything.. cheaper chocolates than don quixote.. example kitskats are 3 for 1000yen sa donki, 250yen each lang sya sa takeya.. medyo may price diff lang for me coz marami akong chocolates na binili.. madami ding spices dun, noodles, gadgets, watches, etc..

[princess lorraine]

^thanks so much sis. Same lang ba ang don quixote and donki sis? Thanks

http://www.discoverytour.ph/ ----> sis yan yung website nila.  oo muka namang legit yung travel agency nila.  same lang fee for single or multiple, kaya lang hindi mo naman malalaman kung anong igagrant nila sa yo.
