    Hehe ok this has nothing to do with VF, but with the recession in Japan food prices are really dropping. I remember when I went to Tokyo about 10 years ago, everything was expensive as hell.

    Now I'm in Kyoto and food prices are pretty damn reasonable. A regular Yoshinoya beef bowl + miso soup is only 330 yen. McDonalds and Fast Kitchen all have decent prices on fast food. And cheap ramen places and bento places where you can pay 400-600 for a meal arent that hard to find. Even convenience stores sell a decent bento for 350 yen. Of course this may be different in Tokyo, but by and large things probably aren't expensive as popular myth dictates.

    i think..if the part is to be organised in mid-year..probably its a bit too late to do anything about it as a lot of ppl will not be able to attend.
    however, if end of year, wouldn't the weather be pretty bad? its going to be Northern hemisphere's winter then.

    Tokyo isn't too bad until about late January. February sucks - really cold... especially for a Texan. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

    hey chandlerz,

    hey, I hope you're doing good. I want to come back in June, but I have to make sure it's okay with my boss. I miss playing your jacky.

    When I know my arrival date, I'll let you know with a PM. I hope I can spend some time in Tokyo, but I'll also be in Sendai for sure. Tokyo players are much stronger, I think.

    take care!

    Hm.....

    The February weather is damn cold. But kind of nice since weather in Singapore is freaking hold. Really like that kind of cold, cold weather. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif /versus/images/icons/smile.gif Do you play pachiko (not sure of the spelling) Think that's also a popular past-time over there, difference is that you can make money of of it.

    February is good for me. Probably going to start clearing leave by then.... /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif
    Plus, the cold weather is kinda like my room on rainy days.... Maybe go there to ZZzzz.... Sounds like a plan !!! /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif

    But to be honest, plans are tentative. If I can't save $4K by then, then its futile in going.... /versus/images/icons/frown.gif I really hope that we aren't going to spend ALL our time at the arcades and not have some babewatch time..... /versus/images/icons/wink.gif

    dun think need so much as 4k lah..
    4k , more than enough to let u go to Europe for a month liao leh..
    in fact, i think 2k is more than adequent.
     
  13. SummAh

    SummAh Well-Known Member

    yah...2k is quite enuff.

    Unless u start spending ur money on electronic stuffs....clothes...dojinshi etc etc

    Then, really nothing to say liao /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif

    Actually, the awesome amounts of money is going to go into one thing. FOOD !!!! /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif Man, Japan itself is literally a cuisine country on its own.... Just thinking of the shelves of instant noodles alone makes me wanna drool.... Not to mention that its also THE Vending Machine country. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

    LOL, nah, it's pretty much like, "OK we'll have a few lunches/dinners together, other than that let's split up." So we can still invade Japanese arcades together and take turns destroying Chibita and Kyasao, heh heh.

    Come on lah let's go!!!!!
