If not, at least i'll feel Japanese from all the ramen ;)

haha. nice. then you'll go to japan eat an amazing bowl of ramen for 900 yen and realize the crap they call instant ramen is totally different. ^_^
...but at least it got you to that illustrious bowl of realness.

I've got no doubt that real ramen from Japan can't compare to the instant stuff :) Just one of many reasons watashi wa nihon ni ikitai desu..

(that don't look right)

Why does arguing with someone always give me a stomachache. :shakehead:

The long flight wouldn't be so bad if you had the right company.... *hint*

Well, for one thing, I'm spending too much money on dramas and such. :P Another thing is the long plane ride. :( If I ever go there, I'd have to go first class because I don't want to deal with narrow seating.

if you're worried about spending money on dramas i don't think a first class ticket to japan is an option...you're talking over 2 thousands bucks for the plane ticket alone.

Good point, but I'd rather pay for comfort than get cheap, yet narrow seats.

Do you fly much cori? I don't, but the last few flights I have been on, the seats are really comfy. And you don't look like you would take up much room on a seat :)

I don't mind HOW I get there, as long as I do. :mrgreen: The coach seats aren't too bad. You can save the extra money you'd spend on first class for when you get to Japan. :thumbsup:

Dang, you guys will have to stop talking about going to japan unless I can go too. You're making me very envious :(

You know I'm not going to leave YOU behind, A-Oyaji. :muack:

i feel ya..if you have the cash, it's awesome...but if you had to choose b/n a nicer place to stay while there and spending more money on going out, eating awesome meals, shopping, and partying or a wider chair on a flight..i'd think it would be an easy decision. seats on 747s or 777s are not that narrow.....leg room might be an issue if you are tall but that about it.

for me it was spend money on a first class ticket or stay in two 5 star luxury hotels ~ no brainer. :)

OK, it's settled. I need, say, $10-12K in cash to get to Japan and have enough cash to really enjoy and experience the country. The only problem is, finding the cash :(

I need to win the lottery :grumble:

nah you don't need that much, dood....you could go balls out for that much...but given the fact that the australian dollar is almost at parity with the us dollar vis a vis the japanese yen i figure you could have a blast for about $3-5K staying about two weeks. unless you are talking about taking your whole family... :sweat:

Man, it would be awesome to visit Japan with someone who's really interested in the culture :)

It might as well be $10K, since I don't have it :( ... Point taken though :)

The one reason why I travel! Toshi-kun said you can handle it witih just HALF of what you originally planned, so that's doable, right?
