Since somebody asked me about my trip,
I think it might be helpful if I slightly sort them out,
and put into a proper format =D
So it all started randomly with just some weird mind goes into my silly brain and I wanted to go travel XD
So crazy that I search for air ticket, and yeah that's so cheap,
so I bought them without having planning anything, yet! (LOL)
18-05-2011
I bought the air ticket, from MAS.
RM1416 for 2 way. AA is more expensive LOL I don't know why.
And I'm sort of anti-AA (sorry to AA fans out there)
You know why if you been flying with me (HAHAHA)
For information about MAS, please click:
19-05-2011
I started to plan my freaking big dream plan, from scratch.
Everything, start from zero...
This might be good side to start from:
A very big THANK YOU to Jing Hang, which help me a lot...
Her experience really do make a big difference, and the courage, too =D
23-05-2011
All the way until this day, I was finding information about transportation, cheap accomodation, etc.
This was my 1st own planning trip, and also my 1st oversea trip.
I was like bumping into every single random thing that is related to Japan.
I have no idea where to start from and where to end.
Until then, I decided to start with places of interest, which I might want to visit.
I sorted them out, place by place, and plan the day for it.
xx-05-2011
It was almost end of the month, the plan was roughly finished.
Oh my god, I need a visa. Yes I almost forgot about it.
Again, collecting information about visa application,
and also preparing document for visa application.
07-06-2011
Everything is set, and go for Japan embassy.
My document was clear in 1 shot but there's a little problem with that telur.
Well, everything turn out to be fine. We manage to submit the application on the day itself.
I was given a receipt to collect the visa after 2 day.
Information about Japan embassy in Malaysia:
09-06-2011
I went to embassy after my class.
It was done! Yes I got my visa XD
Since it's almost clear now, time for JR pass.
I went to JTB to buy the JR pass, (an exchange order, to be exact)
which is 28,300yen (exchange rate vary time to time)
On 09-06-2011, 28,300 yen turn into RM1061.
For more information about JR pass, please log on to:
Ok now everything needed is done, but...
WAIT !!! MONEY !!!
Let's do the math now XD
The booked accomodation cost 14,200 yen,
with estimation of each meal costing me 1,000 yen,
and we will have 20 meals so that make up 20,000 yen.
so it total up of about 35,000 yen,
for sole surviving purpose, only.
BUT !!!
Something went really wrong here (LOL)
Since I had earlier exchange 13,000 yen, but...
I forgot to take that into account, so I exchanged another 40,000 yen.
This become 53,000 yen. ("Eh? where the extra money from?" asking happily in heart)
AND !!!
Another thing went wrong (HAHAHA)
Japanese food are really "FILLING" that make you really really full and they usually come in set (LOL)
turn out that, I only had 1 meal a day, most 2.
And they didn't cost me more than 1,000 yen at most of the place!
Damn there's another few thousand extra ("wow so syok extra money to use" who's talking in my heart?!)
So, with everything done, just relax and wait (HOHOHO)
Ok, I will just share a brief of my trip.
02-07-2011
Depart to Narita from KLIA
03-07-2011
Reach Narita Airport
Exchange for JR pass, jump into NEX, go to Tokyo.
Run to Sensoji Temple, where the Kaminarimon (the very "landmark-ing" big tanglung wrinting 雷门) is.
I chose to stay at New Koyo Hotel because it's really cheap, but nice too!
The double room is really double which allow really only 2 people (==)
but that's no problem for me since I only use there for sleeping (HAHA)
04-07-2011
To Kyoto by ShinKanSen (bullet train)
My target in Kyoto is only KiyoMizu-Dera,
but walking along I discover some funny place and Kyoto is a nice place I would say.
For Kyoto, I stayed at Gojo Guest House.
This is a really Japanese style room,
I would recommend to anyone who want to experience a true Japanese style room,
but with limited budget, like me (HAHAHA)
05-07-2011
Hiroshima! by ShinKanSen, again (LOL)
All the way down to Miyajima, by ferry.
Wasted whole day climbing the Mt.Misen,
and only found out that!!! the rope way is under maintainence!!!
OMG I was forced to climb all the way back down the hill...
A total of 5+ KM T_T
Staying in Hiroshima Hana Hostel is really fun.
It is very near to Hiroshima station, just few minutes walk.
Everything is just so nice. RECOMMENDED!!!
06-07-2011
Go to Atomic Bomb Dome and those around, before heading back to Tokyo.
Reaching Tokyo when the sun is already at the other side of the earth.
Nothing can be done, but I had a fantastic dinner at some random small shop in Minami-Senju
New Koyo
07-07-2011
Ok here's the most of the week (HAHAHAHA)
Akihabara!!! Gadgets, Toys, CDs, etc...
MAID CAFE!!! (LOL)
New Koyo again (because it's cheap LOL I'm low budget traveller T_T)
08-07-2011
Shibuya. 109. LOL
I had extra of 12,000yen still, so I decided to waste it all.
I bought photobook, CDs, DVDs, and some little crap.
Yeah, done. All gone.
NEX, to Narita.
The owner from Narita Airport Hostel is really a nice guy.
He fetch us at the airport, and talked a lot with us.
He knows a lot about Malaysia! OMG I was so amazed.
Narita is a nice place, at least for me.
So peaceful and calm, everywhere is farm.
