Osaka, need some reference and sharing!
« on: February 29, 2012, 11:19:59 AM »
Hello guys,

I will be travelling to Osaka in October this year. Is there anyone who has been there and be so kind to share the experience and also references ?

Also, is it worthy to get GS or any JDM models in Japan? Not limited to Seiko only ... ;D

Well, Shinsaibashi is a very nice place to hang out. People there are much more friendly than people at Ginza. There are plenty of pre owned shops there. Check out rollie. depending on the currency, I actually bought my rollie few years ago in Tokyo when yen wasnt that high. Plenty of stocks there unlike Msia where one may even have to wait for a simple submariner.
I am broke but I am happy...

I'll be heading to Osaka this 22nd this month!!!

Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo... Looking forward to it. Its a incentive trip and my friends asked me to keep the airticket open and extend my stay there, it costs them 1.6k for 9 days only!!! That includes hotel and transportation!!! They went to Hiroshima that direction.

Hmmm... am contemplating on whether to extend my stay also...

few days ago, i was told by my superior that his relatives returned from a trip to japan 2 months back. places they visit includes osaka and tokyo. 3 of them returned malaysia with signs of slight radiation poisoning which symptoms including nausea, migraine, diarrhea, and so on. i'm contemplating if i should be going there right now. of course, i do not know them personally and you know how stories can change over people's ear. then again (not to be a wet blanket), but it's a risk that should be considered.

Yes, those going to Japan may have slight risk of radiation.
If you or your wife plans to be pregnant, try to avoid Japan.... my cousin's friend who went to Tokyo and gynae ask her to wait at least 7 years.

those are just hoax. someone will tell you someone. But if you ask further, then you will realise they just heard from someone else. I just came back last week. The only 'radiation' is i put on a few pounds. lol.

exactly. thats what i say too when colleague said iwas so courageous to get there.

anyway, my concern is on potential major earth quake rather than radiation. anyway, life is short. cant really worry too much.  :Cheers:
