Doh!! 😣

Thank you, glad you’re enjoying it. You’ll get to check out this place too. 😬

Actually in real life it’s quite amazing. 🤩

Thanks.

No regrets. Challenges and learning.

Thank you so much for the message. I’m looking forward to a new adventure with you when you come. Let’s gooo. 👍🏼 my greetings to your Mrs. too.

Those are fees. And the costs of exchanging yen to dollar or dollar to yen. As of writing this Dollar to Yen 1.00 USD is 154 yen Yen to Dollar 156 yen is about 1.00 USD

1. Oh. Is there a way to have money $ exchanged to yen without fees? 2. Are currency exchanges the lowest fees compared to anywhere else you can convert dollars to yen from? 3. Is it better to bring cash to exchange to Yen In Japan than to exchange to yen in the US (which means I'll already have pocket yen before arriving in Japan)?

@@lechonmaster 1) No, any currency exchange has fees associated and they won't be the same between the same 2 currencies depending which currency you're going from and to. 2) Your best bet would be paying via credit card if that's possible, assuming you're not taking on any foreign transaction fee (call your bank) 3) Do not exchange currency locally. Everyone says your home country will charge you a higher fee than if you were to convert it in Japan

Some places close early on New Year’s Eve and a lot of places are closed New Year’s Day. Some places open half day.

If you have a long name or have a middle name you might have to omit the middle name or write first name and middle name together.

Ooh this is a good one. Not all but some JR lines stop after 2300 and after midnight they all stop.

Thank you 🙏🏼 I appreciate kind words.

And thank you for the comment. May you boldly go and discover Japan 🇯🇵

Now come to japan already 😬

Pick it up at the airport when you arrive in Japan. They also sell them at tokyo station. But I recommend getting the Suica visitors card from the Airport.

@@bungalogic suica still says on its Web that they aren't making them

@@johnblake8555 you can pick up visitor suica at the airport and limited supplies at Shinjuku. Just met a couple today that picked some up. The key is get it at the airport. They are harder to find around tokyo. The alternative is get Passmo, works the same. Try this if you’re having trouble. Or if you have an iPhone you can add a “transit card”

@@bungalogic thank you

how bout adding suica card on iphone, do i still need to pick up a physcial suica card?

In Japan they have eSIMs at some convenience stores. You get a paper with a code

Did you have to wait ｌｏｎｇ？😬

@@bungalogic nah, I went to the Shibuya’s shop at 6:40 and only fews left over. I bought it anyway and it still taste good 👍🏻

Thank you for watching. You can take the Yamanote line around the loop it takes about an hour or so to complete the circle. And the view from the train is actually fascinating especially if you are new to the city and have never seen it.

@@bungalogic awesome! Thanks so much for your reply, And love from Florida USA

Ginza Line G19 to G15 transfer Oedo Line E09 to E28 Exit out A1(B2) and you are there. 😬

Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed. Enjoy Japan. 🇯🇵

You are correct 👍🏼 Ordinary = ¥50,000 ($360 USD) Thank you for pointing this out. It’s import to know the difference. My calculation is based on Premium Premium Green Class = ¥70,000 ($500 USD) And you can check prices here from jr pass site. www.jrpass.com/buy-the-japan-rail-pass-online

Looks like he used the price for the 7-day Green JR Pass of 70,000 Yen. The 7-day Ordinary JR Pass is 50,000 Yen per adult (around USD $350).

Wow that’s a good idea. If you have an iPhone you can also add it as a transit card and you’ll be ready to go the moment you arrive.

@bungalogic yes. I'm waiting for JR to add the suica to American Android users' phones in 2025

Ooh yes that’s a good thing to point out. Suica is Magic

Yes it’s very weird from the start but you might be surprised how quickly you adjust. 😬

@@bungalogic yeah hopefully i just adjust into it quickly. But first i gotta get my money with a job here in Sweden were i live, and then hopefully i can find a job in japan because japan is a country ive wanted to live in for a long time. I cant think of any other country to build a family (hopefully) in.

@@Daijetsu bro anything you dream can come true. Keep pushing for greatness.

😱 we’ve been discovered.

@@bungalogic for the cockpit lounge i had to book it as soon the clock struck 9am. After 10mins the lounge seats were gone

@@jjdelacross glad you got seats. 💺
