I usually do things on impulse. I heard these 2 guys I know from the net were going to Japan so I asked them if I could tag along and we booked everything afterwards

I can't wait for pictures! Where in JP are you going?
Tokyo And well err didn't really make a plan of what we (me and 2 friends from england) are going to do, aside from having fun

I went to the bank today, they are speedprocessing my application, I *MIGHT* have a creditcard. I also bought Yenn worth of € 500,- to get started. *crosses fingers, hope my cc is finished in time!!!*


Bye

\0/ got a phone call just now, the bank have my cc ready for me I'll pick it up tomorrow. Funny how all the banks I called, including this one, said "approx. 14 days to process your application". Yet putting the slightest pressure on them results in a creditcard WITHIN 3 days bwahahah, sweeet!

i got into a similar prob my first trip to Tokyo.

all i had was a debit card from Wachovia, and i asked if it would work in japan they said Definately not.

Turns out i go to a citi bank and try it out. and it does work.

But Only certain Banks would take it.

Best to go with Visa or mastercard.

my friend brought a discover his first time.... might as well bring a post it note that says Credit Card on it. =P

Good luck and Enjoy your stay in Tokyo

if your into arcades and whatnot im always down for some gamer friends =)

pm me and ill give you my jap cell when you arrive im Right in Tokyo myself.

Okay we were up at that Cosplay bridge today(grrrr keep forgetting the name) and there weren`t any cosplayers ?? I thought Sunday was THE day to check out some funky cosplay people! We did find a large queue of women standing in the shade holding weird tickets. Dont know what they were standing around for. We sat near the spot they were waiting for a good hour, poking fun and making pics of passersby, was good fun gehheh

At a most EXCELLENT tuna wrap at the Subway restaurant, mmm was delicious!! *wave*

(Ps; all the commotion about a credit card has been for nothing so far, haven@t used it once yet!!)
