Universal Studio Osaka

Bismillah...

A few tips going to Universal Studio Japan:

• Come early in the morning to be able to enjoy all rides.
• Avoid weekends/school holidays/public holidays
• Go there on weekdays (there are a lot of people even going there on Monday)
• Buy Express tickets to avoid queuing 1@2 hours for a ride. Last time we went there on Saturday, even with express tickets, we still need to queue certain rides for 1 hour. Just imagine queuing without express tickets *sigh*
• You can buy the express tickets at the gift shop on your left of the entrance *it is limited*
• If you don't understand Japanese language, don't go to the shows as you won't understand a single word they say.
• There are certain time frame for the express tickets, such as Biohazard the Real.
• You can bring your own food into USJ. No food restrictions.

Biohazard the Real was awesome!!! Unfortunately I didn't win.

Have fun and enjoy the rides!!!

Wassalam & Cheers.

Malaysian visiting Japan

Bismillah...

Japan is a must country to visit. It is a friendly country. Everything is made easy and convenient. However it is a bit difficult to go around if you don't have a friend who knows Japanese.

The new regulations is that Malaysians are exempted to apply visa with a passport compliant with ICAO standards. A passport with the chip symbol in front of the cover.

Have fun in Japan because I had a blast there!!!!

Wassalam & Cheers.

A Few Tips in HCMC

Bismillah...

HCMC is a great place to shop till you drop. Especially if you're a great fan of silk, clothing and what not. Every city has its tricks to go about. Here are a few tips in HCMC:

• Always  ride a taxi that uses meter to charge you. Recommended taxis are Vinasun Taxi *The White Cab* and MaiLinh *The Green Cab with a H. I heard that there's another company that uses the same name MaiLin without H.*
• Where ever you go, bring a map with you. If possible, show the map to the driver with the name of the destination that you intended to go. Most taxi drivers doesn't speak or understand English. If you don't have a map, write down the place/street name on a piece of paper.
• The currency used here are US Dollar, VietnamDong and also Ringgit Malaysia. You can pay the taxi fare and food using VDong. Certain places accept USD.
• The rate is higher if you exchange RM to Vdong in Vietnam. There's a gold shop across Ben Thanh Dong Market as a money changer. I got VD 650,000 for RM 100.00 = USD32.2
• Always bargain when you're shopping in Ben Thanh Market. Bargain until the price is affordable. 
• Try their local dish. It's delicious. I love their Laksa daging.
• Chu Chi Tunnel is a must place to visit.

Enjoy and have fun in HCMC. A place I wanted to go again in future.

Wassalam & Cheers.
