Unplanned visit to Japan

How should I said this is unplanned trip, while I have full list of itinerary of where we should headed once we landed in Tokyo. My oh my, Tokyo, Japan, never once across in my mind I will put my foot there. The cost of living and Visa approval procedures makes me try to avoid Japan as my dream place to visit.

But Allah surely knows better. Last September, my best friend followed her husband for some job posting to Japan for 3 months. I am excited, and happy for her! but the invitation to visit her in Japan surely make my night sleepless. Counting my saving, expenses, clicking and checking flight tickets everyday, and the most important thing I only have less than 3 months to make it happen. Persuading my hub is also not an easy job, we are currently paying for 2 houses and vacation to overseas of course is not an option.

Hey, I am not that easy to give up! I'll do anything to make my wish come true! Staying with my friend in Japan is the best option ever, we will cut cost for accommodation of course, and secondly we have someone to refer to, I mean how to buy train ticket, to go here and there.. you know as our tourist guide =)

I promise to my hub I will not spending any money on clothes or tudung or do any online shopping for 2 months, teeheee... Oh and also I will cut my lunch budget, and  I will prepare home cooked food to bring to the office! =) So that is how I do my saving in a very short notice.

After web browsing to every flight available to Tokyo, finally I made decision to buy ticket through AirAsia. Yes, it is the cheapest among all. I managed to get ticket from KL To Haneda including meals, seat, luggage and insurance less than 1.5K perperson.  I think it is good enough, or if I wait any longer I just afraid I might loose the opportunity.

So this is how our journey begin, after we booked the flight tickets, I start to make an itinerary for us. A week in Japan surely give us plenty time to visit Tokyo.

Here are some places that I visit during my stay. The picture taken from google, as I haven't transfer any pic from my camera to desktop yet.

Surely I will miss Japan, I really hope we can come back again as soon as possible. I'll try to update more pictures from my own camera after this. Cheers
