Tokyo (Thread 4)

[longing]

^sis, we rented via global advanced.  Group of 7 kasi kami and they depend on me sa transpo and all.  Big help coz hindi madaming wifi spots sa Japan.

[ayami]

Advisable ba magrent ng pocket wifi? Praning kasi ako baka maligaw kami tapos sayang yung time and pamasahe. Or marami naman silang free wifi around the area?

Thanks!

Mga magkano yung cheap coat sa tokyo? Yung friend ko kasi nagpunta taiwan around 280php lang daw coat dun. Sana may mura din sa japan! Hehe

[longing]

^wow, that's cheap!   The cheapest that I saw in Tokyo is around P700, super sale sa Diver City.

hi!

will be leaving for Tokyo thru Chubu Centrair in Nagoya, March 28-April 2. :-)
40k kmi ni hubby thru Cebu Pac.

ask ko lang po ano po climate during those times? malamig po ba or mainit?

coats po ba or tank tops? no idea po. 

thanks!

[cecilydee]

^mga 15c ang climate sis. For me madali ako lamigin so I really layer a lot. i think you are just in time for the sakura season. It will be fun!

[Bellerina]

Hi sissies! Recommend naman kayo ng best finds/buys sa Chiba and Tokyo! Thank you!

[artegirl]

^sis, for me pang pasalubong, ok ang KitKat.  dami flavors na exclusive sa Japan.  ang Royce chocolates din mura

[dooonna]

Hi mga sis! Ask ko lang, okay ba Japan Airlines? 'Yun na lang kasi ang pinakamura na airline sa week ng April 20. Pwede rin Cathay Pacific kaya lang sayang time sa stopover

[ataypool]

^Yes, I was happy with Japan Airlines with its typical Japanese hospitality and professional service. I might have to add though that the cabin temperature was warm, it could be at 26 degrees celsius. Okay lang sa akin kasi lamigin ako kaya hindi na ako nakakumot or jacket. Ibang airlines kasi very cold lalo na sa mga budget airlines (siguro para bumili ka ng blanket. hehe). I flew economy, so the leg room and seats are typical of this class in any airline. Cathay Pacific di ko pa alam but I will be flying with them to Hong Kong this month so pwede ko rin masabi my experience with them.

thanks sis!

does it really have to be thick, or Heattech of Uniqlo will be enough na? para din sana hindi mabigat, and if mainitan kami, madaling hubarin...

hopefully full bloom pa abutan namin. kasi i read sa forecast na parang full bloom nya is nearing end of March. 

mga sis,...

1) is it advisable to go to Tokyo Anime Center? ir read kasi na parang overrated daw sya. na parang room lang sya with glass showcases with anime stuff fro selling?...

2) where can we buy cheap souvenirs? will be in Tokyo, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara...

3) will be arriving in Chubu Centrair ng 8:30PM, we'll probably be out of the airport by 10pm... ano po pwede namin sakyan papuntang Nagoya? dun kasi hotel namin. are trains closed by that time na?

4) magkano po ang palit ng USD to Yen? and where po higher ang palitan? sa airport po kasi mataas, as with all countries... jic maubusan kami ng Yen, we'll be bringing USD for emergencies...

thanks po for the replies! :-)

^hi sis, heat tech will be enough. Winter ako nag Japan and kaya ng heat tech. If it gets too hot, just remove your jacket at least fashionable pa din thermal mo.

When we went to Akihabara, there's this convenience store near the Sega building na selling cheap pasalubong. If chocolates, medyo limited flavors nga  lang.  Like kitkat nila is green tea only.  Don Quixote (Asakusa branch ako nagpunta) sells a lot of items. Cheap pa din compared sa airport/convenience store price.

For your jic, you can withdraw money in Japan, their convenience stores (7/11) has atm's. Very convenient.

super ok sa Sunrout Hotel in Shinjuku. sakto lang samin ng husband ko yung room! mura yung room pero ang ganda nya

[blackgreen]

^sis how did you book with them? Hindi ko sila masearch sa net. Check ko din sana para may options kami saan magstay. Pinagpipilian namin APA hotel and Best western hotel.
