@ my cellphone screen resolution: Oh yeah you're right! I didn't use the escalators much in Osaka since we were always on the street level... Now the locales there are super cool and ol'school, I got stared at there too for looking like a yanki... HA HA!

One other thing to look for is the amount of Nigerian locals that live within the major cities... Yes, Nigerian... Actually, I'm not 100% sure that they're Nigerian, but they're out and about the major hipster areas, trying to sell off clothes, point you into clubs, etc., so don't be surprised if one approaches you and starts talking in Japanese or starts playing the hustle game...


@ The Subject on Cash: Well here's my point in view on cash, I say bring a lot if it's you're first time there + coverage on the concert tickets (3-4k, pending)... You'll always be able to convert money back into your currency when you arrive back home, so with the way the Yen is going, you'll make a few cents/dollars back if all goes well... Bring enough to keep you covered!

Most definitely you'll spend a lot on food, travel, trinkets, etc., your first time around, so spend sparingly if you want to buy something expensive... The worst feeling is when you're down and out to a couple of bucks and your trip isn't ending for another week, so hold money aside for the major items until nearing the end... That way you can at least make the adjustment of fun vs food when the time comes... HA HA! Not a prob for Sam since he lives like Scrooge McDuck...

Relax on the lodging, it will depend entirely on the amount of people going on this trip. As I said.. more the better..

Living in Japan has many choices. Namingly

Hotels, Hostels,Temple stay, capsule, Family home, Rented apartment, 24/hr net cafes and lastly, the Road...

Once we start getting closer.. Best by December.. then I will start planning with whoever would love to Help me.. since this is getting world'wide.. Planning can be on Skype :D

hmm.. since the trip will be on march, i guess now my only aim is to get a job first... .omg. maybe i go find my friend for his ex-boss intern offer... .smile.

edit: from my experience with ns, i stopped schooling on june then my enlistment letter came on july for sept intake.. but it entirely depends on how "efficient" cmpb process your graduation dates... some people i know get enlisted quite fast after they graduated.. some took ages before enlistment...

yup, before NS wanna go Japan one more time.. :D

must do all your favorite things before you enlist... because after that, the only time you get to enjoy during ns are: 1. POP block leave(Number of leave days ranged from 7-14 days) 2. Become a sergeant in MP and posted to bedok camp.. (My RP friend says that his sergeant has ever go on a 2 week worth of leave and off. Plus, bedok camp duty is a 8-5 duty.) Or the rare 3. Posted as a support staff to a camp and that camp is real slack one.. .wew.

The prospect of a SH trip to Japan is pretty cool, and it sounds like there are some pretty experienced trip planners here.

It'll take a lot more than wishful thinking for this to happen; please try to contribute in a manner that moves the thread in a positive direction so that good ideas aren't lost in a sea of idle chatter.

So currently, the plan is Only within Tokyo.
Traveling by JR is very easy so as long as there is sufficiant detail.

Main objective of this trip will always be to attend SCANDAL's concerts or whatever is happening during our arrivial. The rest is of -if we got time only- basis.

Can someone collect data on SCANDAL's movement?

Hmmm~
A trip to Japan with fellow SH members, sounds fun. But i'm kinda worried that i cannot make it due to poly 2nd year. orz. Money and parents are no problem but its the schooling that matters. LOL. Will keep watching this thread and hopefully, poly doesn't clash with this.

Ahh now that is an issue, I do not know about JC but if I am right..school starts early.. As for Poly, year one will begin at April. March is ususally just camp for freshies if you have any interest.
