Have fun sis! Not sure which one you got, but ours didn't come with a one of of these portable battery packs. While it came with an extra battery, you may what to bring a juice pack if you have one :-).

Hi sis, since you have a 5yr old kid, I think magugustuhan nya sa disneyland. Mas more on pang kids sya. The shows, the parade and the rides. Meron monter's inc ride that your kid can enjoy. Sa disneysea kasi mas marami ang adult rides.

Don't forget to get fast pass (ticket when you can get in line for shorter time with certain time slot) There are select rides lang where fast pass are available.

Thanks sis, still deciding kung pareho na lang namin pupuntahan (sea/land) pero para kasing nasasayangan ako sa isang araw, gusto ko sana mamasyal pa sa iba and not puro amusement park since pupunta din kami sa puroland...

Hi mga Sis. Just came back from Japan and the experience is amazing. Medyo hindi namin napuntahan yung ibang binalak namin. For those who are going soon, please prepare your feet, its a lot of walking as in a lot, akala ko madami ng lakad dito sa Singapore pero mas madami doon.

Here's our Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Narita airport
- Check in at E-hotel Higashi Shinjuku
- Skytree

Day 2:
- Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
- Harajuku
- Meiji Shrine
- Omotesando
- Shibuya
- Hachiko
- Shibuya Crossing
- Akihabara
- Had dinner with one of my friends who stay in Yokohama

Day 3:
- Disneyland

Day 4:
- DisneySea

Day 5:
- Went to Shinjuku station to eat the best ramen, Ichiran, madami silang branch pero eto yung nearest sa hotel
- Trick Art Museum
- Sanrio Land, picture picture lang kasi maaga sila magsara like 5PM
- Ginza

Day 6:
- Gotemba Premium Outlet, this is where we view Mt, Fuji at shopping na din
- Osaka, check in at Naniwa Hotel
- Dinner in Dotonbori

Day 7:
- Universal Studios Osaka, picture taking lang din
- Kyoto for Inari Shrine
- Back to Tokyo
- Don Quijote, theres a branch na walking distance lang sa E-Hotel

Day 8:
- Around Shinujuku lang
- Fly back to Singapore.

We rented a pocket wifi sa Global Advance, so we asked them to deliver it at the post office in Narita airport then we dropped it there nung flight back namin. We take advantage of the JR Pass as well kaya nag Shinkansen kame to Osaka.

Japan is such a nice place to visit, despite the language barrier they are generally nice and well disciplined. Hinde sila maingay sa train, kame nga yata ang maingay. hehe.

How's the weather in Japan around the last week of October?  We're planning a trip to coincide with the sem break of my kids. The plan is to visit Universal Studios (especially the Harry Potter attraction), Disney Sea and Disney Land for the kids, Mt. Fuji and some gardens and temples.  8-9 days sana ito para relaxed ang pace since we're travelling with kids.

Hi mga sis, sigurado na kaya yung visa free ang Japan?

balak kasi namin pumunta ng Oct, 30-Nov. 2, eh kukuha na sana ako ng ticket, kaso lang baka biglang hindi naman pala visa free LOL, what do you think mga sis?

[crazy_krizsa]

hi Sis SnowBall i heard di pa tuloy ang visa free. Madali naman kumuha ng Visa to Japan, basta complete ang requirements mo, approve naman nila saka wala din naman bayad.

[simplykristine08]

^ sis, wala ng bayad ang pagkuha ng visa sa Japan?

[Kim]

^ Sa travel agency ka lang magbabayad ng processing fee.

[crazy_krizsa]

DIY kasi kame and Im'm based here in Singapore. We just submit the requirements at the Japan Embassy then after 3 days nakuha na din namin yung visa namin. Walang bayad if you do it on your own.

[supladitang cute]

^ Sorry, naguluhan ako. Walang bayad ang visa sa Japan? We'll go 2nd week of November this year. Ok lang kaya to apply in September last week?

[SnowBall]

hi Sis SnowBall i heard di pa tuloy ang visa free. Madali naman kumuha ng Visa to Japan, basta complete ang requirements mo, approve naman nila saka wala din naman bayad.

thank you so much sis, so wala na palang interview, kukuha na ako ng ticket hehe.

Yes sis! walang bayad. Although i have read on the website, in Philippines they have accredited agencies to facilitate the visa application. So may bayad na to kasi via agency eh. Sorry, dito kasi sa Singapore hinde na need ng agency eh.

Yes sis. Walang interview. Two way tickets is one of the requirement for Visa.
