Japan trip - where to go

[littlegirl]

furry furry - eeeeee I dun like,make me feel itcy @ the neck area.

Wat I did was I brought along those wollen scarlves, when U bought frm mango, those turtle necks last time, it came w/ it, so we tied tat ard my neck lor. I bought a red top & a dark blue top, then passed the dark blue scarf to hb to use.

No worries, still a long way, by then will hv sale one.

 

[ppgroom]

yeah, furry may be a prob... gotta see how my wife like it...

 

[littlegirl]

some ppl are senstitive to furs........... so hv to c lor.

 

[ppgroom]

hehe... i dun think it's real fur la... just some 'decorations' only...

 

[littlegirl]

of cos nt real fur lah, bt still sometimes ppl may b sensitive to them

 

[ppgroom]

Actually the agent who handled my booking actually advised me to go to this shop aomewhere opposite the Traffic Police (Ubi area). The shop sells 2nd hand winter clothes, but all looks brand new and quite latest trend, and of course the price are MUCH cheaper... but i dunno... dun feel comfortable wearing 2nd hand clothes leh...

 

[littlegirl]

I think when i flip thru papers on wkends, they usually hv those small advertisements showing those factry selling @ factory prices. No harm to chk them out.

Bt then if u r nt in a hurry then might as well just wait.

My agt hasn't call me yet leh.............. bery sad.........

me nw so free nothing to prepare for wedding also dun wanna let me prepare or HM

 

[chaoahbeng]

By then I will b 2 bz for my wedd liao.

 

[ppgroom]

[littlegirl]

PPgroom:

I also wish I can settle them asap, then can leave my worries for other things.

 

[ppgroom]

[littlegirl]

I call hotline & chk one.......

 

[ppgroom]

[littlegirl]

PPgroom:

Look on the bright side, if I realy can't depart then i save my $$, wait till nx yr go London.

Bt the only thing is my 2003 AL lor, dunno wat to do w/ them - got lots to clear off

 

[ppgroom]

if really cancel (touchwood), then maybe you can clear your AL by going to some nearby resort lor... or maybe can even go Hong Kong?

 

[littlegirl]

Hi hi, I'm planning a trip to Tokyo in Nov. Saw from previous threads that Chin Leng recommend booking the tickets for Ghibli Museum from JTB in Singapore 2 weeks prior to visit. However, when I called them, they said they do not arrange for this. Rather they have a 1/2 tour pkg for this costing Y6,000. Can anyone provide more information on this. Thks.

 

[littlegirl]

Pooh Pooh

Wat I can suggest is, if u wk near tanglin area, pay a visit to Japn Embassy (Association???) then u tell them wat u want; they will give u all the free brochures like railways, then day trips (their local agency who sells them) then also some other useful info.

 

[pooh_pooh]

I'll be doing that...

Hi odae,

Yeah, Osaka is the first destination. Where's US?

If trip cancelled, i'd rather have my money back rather than make rush rush plans... wun enjoy leh...

Hai...leave ordi taken & had planned to b away after custom wed..so taking $ back is juz plain disappointment leh. Simply luv Jap too much to give it a miss!

Odae:
If trip is cancelled, then either 1) u follow another dep date, or 2) change to other trips. However, u must take note, eg since u book during those travel fairs, make sure they let u change njoy back those travel fair perks.
