^hahaha okay lang sis, na-check ko na rin pala yan sunroute kaya lang mas mahal sila. Naghahanap kasi kami nung may breakfast ng kasama

[shygirlme]

^ang may kasama namin breakfast yung sa kyoto. Reiah hotel. Sa lahat ng out of the country namin sa Japan lang kami di nag enjoy sa mcdo breakfast. Di ata sila breakfast person no?

[ataypool]

Dooona, I forgot to mention earlier that when I flew with Japan Airlines, the airport was Haneda. Galing ako Singapore, di ko lang alam if from Manila to Tokyo is sa Haneda din. Only took me 15 minutes by the Airport line and JR line to Shimbashi to go to Ginza Grand Hotel where I stayed.

Kapag ba sa application ng tourist visa may effect ba kung gano katagal na since inopen yung bank account? I got my bank cert kasi kaso lang im using a new bank account (checking) eh two months palang. Nasa 100k naman na yung account pero i dont want to show my savings account kasi nadeny na ako before sa US masyado daw kasi malaki yung laman so im submitting an account na less yung laman

[shygirlme]

^ganon yun reason sa US visa sis?ano ba yun nakakaloka naman. Ewan ko lang ano effect ng new account sis. Minsan depende e. Meron mga nag apply malaki naman pera sa bank pero na deny.

[blackgreen]

^yun sa Apa hotel and best western meron buffet breakfast japanese and western cuisine so okay na rin. Di ko alam na di sila breakfast person. Haha.. Nakakatakot naman yun sa visa, sana ma-approve kami ni h2b. Gaano katagal before your travel ka nag apply? Kami plan namin 2 months before.

[shygirlme]

^observation lang namin yun sis hehe Dennys lang ata masarap na nakainan namin ng breakfast. Kami sis 2 weeks before. Honeymoon din kami. Pinatapos muna namin wedding bago namin kinuha yung visa.

[dulcette]

Yup 23 palang kasi ako but i have seven figures na sa savings. Apparently not a good indicator.

[blackgreen]

^^kami naman sis balak namin before the wedding para madami pa money bank account namin tsaka kung di kami ma-approve pwede pa kami magbook ng ibang trip. Hahahaha.. Isa pa requirement namin na may breakfast para pag-alis namin sa hotel super busog na. Hahaha

[shygirlme]

^ganon ginawa namin sis kumuha muna ko ng certificate bago ako nagwidraw pangbayad sa suppliers. sayang kasi eh.

^^sis di ko na sasabihin magkano figures nung bank cert namin, malaki sya since joint kami ng asawa ko at andon pa yung budget sa kasal.pero approved naman kami

[dulcette]

^ 23 and single kasi ako and almost three years pa lang working. di ko naman maexplain saan galing kasi i started earning college pa lang ako, and non-taxable yung sources ko nun, but everything's legal. taas kaagad kilay ang mga consul upon seeing na seven figures na savings ko. anyway if anyone has info regarding if may bearing ang opening date ng bank account, please shed some light. Sa Korea kasi at least three months old dapat yung account, to which i submitted another account. Nakakatamad lang kasi maglipat ng funds.

[u8mypinkcookies]

I bought yen in binondo at the rate of 0.3663. Ok na ba yun? I have 100,000 yen. Sana kasya na for our my expenses for 7 days and konting pangshopping. 

[ayami]

^ Inggit much. I bought yen sa Sanry's yesterday at 0.374. Good deal yan sis.

sa Czarina kasi hapon pa e, umaga ako nasa mall. 0.3669 rate nila. Same as BDO kaso di naman ako makahanap ng BDO branch kahapon na may JPY. Sad.

[shygirlme]

^^ok na yun sis last month kuha ko sa Czarina 0.37. 150k yen dala namin. Ubos! Hehe

[dooonna]

Thanks po sa answers!

Question po sa NRT Intl Airport, gaano kaya katagal from landing namin hanggang sa maclaim ang baggage? Kasi we'll be arriving 1955H via JAL and we want to catch the 2040H limousine bus na magdrop off directly sa hotel namin (Sunroute Shinjuku).

Or if hindi umabot, hindi naman ba hassle 'yung NEX na direcho Shinjuku? We have kids with us pero baka kasi mahaba ang lakaran from JR Shinjuku to our hotel eh may luggage pa man din. We want to experience riding that train tho haha. Sa hotel kasi nakalagay 3 minute walk lang daw. Kaya na kaya 'yun with luggage pa?

[shygirlme]

^we stayed at Sunroute sis. Hmm i think hindi sya 3mins. 5 to 10 mins sya From the train station

[ataypool]

Dooonna, napansin ko lang na hindi lahat ng train exits may elevators or escalators. Travel light na lang especially may kids kayo.

[longing]

@Doona, bitin ang 45 minutes sis until you pass through the security. Then you need to buy pa your tickets. Malaki ang Shinjuku station so def merong elevator. Sa smaller stations though, most often one way lang ang escalator and no elevators. So pag may dala kang luggage, good luck talaga.

Pag nakalagay na 3 minutes, that's the Japanese walk. Adjust times 3 kayo sis. Enjoy!

[dooonna]

Thanks mga sis sa mga sagot Taxi na lang kami siguro hanggang hotel from Shinjuku St. Mga magkano kaya kami aabutin? Or other options bukod sa paglalakad?
