Hi ~
I am planning my itinerary and was wondering if I could get some help/suggestions.
I will be 20 this year and this is my first time planning a whole trip by myself, traveling to a place alone where I do not know anyone or speak the language. Going alone because no one I know has the time/money and I didnt feel like dragging it. *I am not even 20 but I feel old already*
I have been wanting to go to Japan for a long time and finally I have money (after graduating and working for 5 months)
BTW, I am girl so maybe it will get scary at times. But I would not stand out like people from the west since I am Singaporean Chinese. Maybe people wont even realize I am a foreigner? haha But then that means I wont get any random help from the locals?
My flight is on 23rd Oct(got to sleep at HK airport for a night. o_0 reaching on the 24th) and returning to Singapore on the 3rd of Nov.
So technically I have 10 days to see Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe and maybe Nara? Probably going to go to the normal places listed on the net. Any random places that are not normally mentioned in the *places to see* lists that I should go?
I am trying real hard to get a concert ticket on Y!J because it is sold out. But if I do get it, I have to be in Osaka on the 28th.
So now I am unsure if I should go straight to Kobe from the airport, spend the weekend there and go to Osaka on Monday the 27th. Then spend a few days there then spend 1-2 days in Kyoto then Nara?
Or go to Osaka, leave for Kyoto on the 29th then Kobe on the 31st. Since I was thinking of visiting Kobe Design University (was thinking of studying there)
Is there any night life in Kobe since I might be there during the week end? Because I like drinking/clubbing though not sure if I can get in because I am not 20 yet T_T I heard about a few clubs in Osaka! I so want to go~~~
SHOPPING IS A MUST! HAHA!
Not sure if I should go to Universal Studios. Imagine going there alone. Its quite sad. IMO T_T
Got any suggestions? Seriously, i am quite at a lost but I know I got to plan everything out properly if not, I would be wasting my money and not enjoy the trip T_T
I shall try my luck in getting a phone from softbank too! Too bad the skype method from Houseteks doesn't work from Singapore.
><
I read that just my passport and hotel/hostel address is enough? I hope it works for me!
Does anyone know anyone in these few areas that don't mind showing me around? Its always nicer to know someone there!
Oh yes! It should not be THAT cold right? Cos I come from a Summer all-year-round place so I cant wait to go to a colder place but hope I wont suffer over there.
I know the temperature in degrees but not exactly sure how cold it would actually be or how many layers I should wear ^^|||
Thanks in advance!!
