Just pay attention to the signs available and you should do fine. You'll get used to the system in a day or so. It may seem confusing when you are not yet there, but when you get there, it's really different. I was very intimidated before I got to Tokyo as well and we were ready to be lost on...

There are many companies operating trains in Japan. Just Tokyo alone there are JR, Tokyo Metro and the smaller private lines. That's one of the reasons why I mentioned that buying a JR Pass need not be the best idea.

I don't understand the language but I always made sure I had a map. Maps help a lot and they are free! When maps don't work, ask. May be tough in english but you'll get what you want :D

I got no money. So I stayed in K's House Tokyo.

The nearest JR station with Shinkansen is the Shinjuku Station in Tokyo iirc. The Hakone Freepass was ridiculously convenient. It also helped that we stayed at this place where the proprietor was very friendly. He gave us a map and told us the most efficient way to travel round the area. As we...

You might prefer the Kansai area more than Tokyo. At least for me that was the case. I thoroughly loved Kansai...... Tokyo was kinda boring since I don't like to shop. The Tokyo subway system, though intimidating, is actually nothing to be afraid of. The first day, I was kinda confused too...

I went to Japan last year from Mid Oct to Early November. I bombed a large sum of money at the Square Enix Character Goods store, but that has nothing to do with travel costs cos I shall cut that out of my budget estimation when I tell people how much I spent there. All in, for 17 days I spent...

OMG, this is starting to feel a little creepy. :bsmilie::D

Oh yes, I've always been interested in stage productions and film productions. Was tempted to go for the 2 day film workshop when it was in town but I did not have the time and it was... pricey since I never felt that I would have the chance to participate in any form of film production.....

I missed the registration for this event! I kept thinking registration is tomorrow.............. :confused:

I think you are referring to Pulau Tekong Kechil. I'd been there once many years ago just to stay for the night. Buildings with a lot of plant growth around it so moving around may be difficult. The walls are filled with graffiti, obviously by people who passed by there, mostly student groups I...

I'm quite sure the pace will be fairly well lit. In fact it should be quite bright.
