Tokyo :D 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 :D

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!!!*

\0/ got a phone call just now, the bank have my cc ready for me :D 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 :D 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.

I got my creditcard in time! Thanks for all the posts anyway!!

Im in Tokyo right now, and its awesome!! :D Ill promise to upload some pics later in the week. WTS [Rain] hehe, but its alright, spent some time in the arcade halls, man everyone goes MENTAL on those machines lol, me and my mates play like, everything on slowmo pace :D Still is great fun.

Its really great that one of us has already been here, cuz his experience helped a lot in finding stuff etc. :D

Having loads of fun, *wave* :ywave:

Okay we were up at that Cosplay bridge today(grrrr keep forgetting the name) and there weren`t any cosplayers ??:o 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 :D

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!!)

Harajuku is the name i think you mean. theyre usually all by the entrance to Yoyogi (sp) park weather permitting

Having a blast in japan, most pictures need a photoshop/edit thingy to highlight the funny thing about it and shizzle, which ill assemble at home , if I ever get around to see all the pictures I made lol!

Giving the harajuku bridge another shot tomorrow prolly, depending on the weather hehe!! *wave* :ywave:

(leaving on tuesday already , buuuh!!)
