What do you mean by this?

well, as you know already, took alot of pix with my digicam and some video in japan, but the quality of the video sucked, still somewhat viewable, what i mean is that next time i want to take a cam corder and record, that way the quality would be so much more clearer and better. But i wonder if they are strict as far as letting cam corders pass thru customs. I know on my way to japan, they stopped a young guy with a cam corder and tapes, but maybe it was just because he looked funny or they randomly searched him.

Okay, I got ya. Japan Customs does not restrict camcorders at all. I'm sure that person was just randomly chosen.

If anything I can see them asking me what I'm going to do with it..

Well you are the okyaku-sama (customer) so you are treated as such. But I heard of a new system where you can mail the forbidden items back to yourself...but I suppose it must cost a bit.

so you should just mail all the drugs to japan and it's alright :D :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

did that yourself, dang, that is creative and you sure know lots about computers. I give @bmwracer the credit for helping me set up my signature pix of the nana video, i love that one of her.
that is good money you are earning there for your upcoming trip, you will have plenty for the trip when you go. When are you thinking of going to japan again? you probably will have plenty of time to make the preparations and researching before you go to japan, is it a second trip to japan for you or first time going?
6am, bleh, that is too early for me, i think 9am or 10am is better.
have a good day shooting photos. :applaud: :bonk:

First time going to Japan, yeah it's good money if I can pocket it and save it without having to pay for something else Ugh!

Uhmm yeah I'm making a Excel sheet of hotels around Toyko, so far I have a few Once I get my Voip phone up and working 100% I will start making calls.

I'm looking out for the prices, How much should I bring in cash? I might split half on my Visa and just the rest in Cash, and convert that before I leave the airport at JFK.

LOL seeing the JAL plane at JFK was like giving me the sign that I'm almost there! lol

Man I might have to kiss the ground in Japan when I land hahah, No but really I'm looking forward to having a good time, I've heard most J girls like Americans lol I will have to see.

lol everytime I hear the name "Roppongi" Or Roppongi Hills I can't help but think of those Love Hotels :hehe:

I'm not good at doing flight stuff.. Maybe it's costing me so much beacuse i'm only staying 4 days?

I thought it costs more to fly out on weekends?

I dunno if it will let you see this or not.

yeah, well didn't get the chance to visit or take any real good pix of love hotels, maybe next time.

If you have any specific questions regarding japan, ask me.
As far as cash, most places do NOT accept credit card. I brought a $1000 plus in cash with me, but i was planning to spend a lot on souvenirs, etc... I charged the hotel room at shinagawa prince hotel, (four-star hotels and just basic nicer hotels, typically accept the credit card, some stores, all nicer dept. stores accept it, all others plan on paying cash only. it depends on how much you want to bring and spend there, and well it is up to you. Japan is relatively a safe country overall.
Four days, almost like my first trip there, this one was longer. I think that you need to keep in mind, that the first day is airtravel, you will lose a day when going to japan, ie: leave sunday, arrive late mon afternoon, start first real day touring japan on Tuesday. Keep that in mind for your trip.
any other questions, just ask anyone of us that has been there before or knows more info on japan. Just four days?? that's is not enough time, IMO. :bonk: but then again, it is your trip, if it were me, and time and money weren't limited that much, i would stay atleast a month in japan, next time. :bonk:

Hey, I stayed there on my first trip in 98. Cool, it was near the Shinagawa station, and there was a McDonalds nearby, if I remember correctly.
