Prior to Japan Travel

Task:
1. Buy Flight Ticket
2. Thorough Plan for 8-day logistic in Japan
3. Apply for Japan Visa
4. Buy Travel Insurance
5. Change RM to Yen

Expenses:
1. Flight Airport Taxes: RM697.38
2. Agent Fee for Japan Visa: RM15
3. Travel Insurance: RM43
4. RM to Yen: RM2.95K to ¥100K

Synopsis:
I manage to buy my flight ticket to Japan using my Krysflyer Mileage claim. My housemate is kind enough to give me his mileage for the return ticket. How lucky am i. :)

As for the planning for the Japan trip, most of the information we obtain through Japan National Tourist Organization and also from Lonely Planet and travel guide books. The planning is mostly done intensively by BL.

Japan Visa application form can be retrived from the web but it has to be printed using A4 paper. Several supporting documents must be enclosed together with the application form. The supporting documents are:
01. Passport
03. Pasport size photo for visa application
04. Company letter
05. Financial proof
06. Bank statement

I paid RM15 for the travel agent (Mayflower) to help me to apply for the visa as i am lazy to go to the embassy. The visa application process only takes 3 working days. For vacation or business trip, the approved visa is only valid for 4 months.

Travel with insurance will give us peace in mind especially when travelling to country that have high medical expenses. BL brought me to Tokio Marine Insurans (M) Berhad at Menara Kobay, Jalan Rangoon.

After work on WW03, we went to change RM3K to Yen. Manage to get 100K Yen for RM2950. I also bought 1 small black pouch for RM65...Aduh!! My pocket is suffering. Howerver, i cant find any camera shop to clean my Ixus lens. Nevermind then.
