Hirap niyang Kanji. Panghuli talaga yan.

Mas maganda yata kung maunang matutong magbasa kesa yung actual speech. Tingin ko lang. Pwede kasing isulat na lang yung sasabihin e.

Memorize ko na yng katakana and hiragana kaso mabagal pako magbasa... Medyo matagal ko ma recall yung mga kana tuwing nagbabasa ako.

October may immeet ako sa Omiya. Sana kaya ko na makipag converse by then tapos sa November Osaka naman. Mukhang mapapadalas punta ko Japan.lol

Conversing and comprehension is a whole different beast compared to reading. Ngayon medyo nahihiya na ako makipag usap dahil matagal na akong di naka pag salita.

Yup. Parang sa english naiintindihan ko pero hindi ako fluent sa pag sagot. Nasanay narin siguro sa taglish...
Same sa lannang, nakakaintindi ako ng konti pero hindi ko kaya sumagot ng Chinese.
Priority ko ngayon sa Japanese yung pag basa and pag comprehend. Mahirap din kasi nakaasa sa translator...
Sana lang by Oct maka intindi nako kahit pa konti konti.

May natututunan narin naman ako mga words habang nag aaral ng kana and nag aaral narin ako pa konti konti ng mga common phrases.
Before kami pumunta Ginza sinearch ko yng mga madalas sabihin sa mga restau
いらさゃいませ
Sure na susunod diyan yung
なんめいさま です か
Inaral ko 1-10 na counters para sa tao *hitori
Tapos susunod diyan yung
どうぞ
Pag nasa'yo na yung メニュdun na yung これ と これ と. or samahan mo narin counters *hitotsu.lol

Tama ba mga kana ko? Mga ilan years bago ka naging fluet sa Japanese?

Yup. Practice lang ng practice. Nag self study ako around 2007, nag aral the next year, then nakaalis. 3 years din inabot bago ako maging --I'll use the term loosely, "fluent." Ang naririnig ko nalang na Japanese ngayon ay galing sa anime, Tokusatsu at music.

Bigla ako inubo. Bukas pa naman flight ko papunta Saitama. Baka ma quarantine ako.

ganda ng Japan as in, sa Tokyo kame nagtay , kulang yung 2 weeks namen.Mura ng gadgets dito..

buti nalang 5 yrs ang binigay sakin na Visa

ah buti multiple entry pala magbigay ng visa ang japan.

Manila na ulit ako.

waahh, ang ganda talaga ng japan. thanks sa pics! wala na iba?

Ganda ng mga pics. Thanks!

Mas nagustuhan ko pa yang mga parks and temples kesa sa disney sea, Akihabara, etc.
Mas naenjoy ko tuloy ngayon kahit na medyo babad sa trabaho compare sa last na punta ko.

Kakagaling lang din ako sa Japan din. 6 days in Sapporo and 4 days sa Tokyo. Katulad mo, mas gusto ko bumisita sa nature, parks and temple kesa sa city spots ng Tokyo.

On my last trip dumaan kami sa Osaka on our way to Kyoto. Visited Osaka Castle, Osaka Aquarium and Shitenno-ji. I wanna go back to Osaka and to walk on the infamous Tobita Shinchi.

Shinjuku Gyoen Park. Yung isa hindi ko sure dahil dinrive lang kami papunta dun pero mga name ng picture ko sa Iphone eh Kawagoe Saiwaicho.

I firmly believe that if you can travel to Singapore then probably you can afford Japan. Cost of living isn't far off with Singapore.

Anyway here are some cost:

Tickets: $400 economy class on a peak season, probably $250-300 on promotional sale.

Accomodations: Since there are tons of foreigners that travel to Japan. There are tons of options for accommodations. Probably the cheapest is to go for capsule hotel, which gonna cost you around $20-25/night. Hostel will probably cost you around $30-45/night. While 3 star hotel pricing varies depending on the location. But expect the pricing to be around $60-80. Alternatively, you can rent an apartment. Prices varies depending on the location and the size of the apartment. This requires somebody from Japan to speak to the owners.

Transportation: Most people would believe that it's the food that will eat most of your budget. But it's really the transportation. Especially if you plan on traveling outside of Tokyo. A one way trip to Kyoto from Tokyo will cost you ¥13,700 ($160). And navigating through the numerous subway lines, you bound to make some mistake along the way. I recommend getting a JR pass, it's only available to foreigners purchasable outside of Japan. You'll save a ton of money by traveling to JR lines for free. This is useful, when going out of Tokyo. There are tons of places to visit outside of Tokyo, Mt. Fuji and Kawagoe to name a few. For more info on JR pass. Please refer to this link.

Food: Expenses for food can be manageable. Eating in a convenience store will cost you around ¥300-500. You probably spend the same eating a Western fastfood joints like Mcdonald's or KFC. While eating at Japanese fast food joint like Yoshinoya and other similar joints like Ten-ya, Mos Burger, Coco Ichiban Curry, Sukiya, First Kitchen and etc. will cost you as low as ¥700-1,500. Depending how big is your meal set is. Authentic food like Ramen will cost you around ¥1,000-1,500. Sushi sets at Tsukiji Market cost around ¥2,000-3,500. But some items like Sukiyaki cost as low as ¥4,000, but you could be spending as high as ¥20,000 (no kidding it happen to my dad) depending on what grade of beef you purchase.

If you want convert these prices to Peso, just multiply the Yen amount by 0.40 to get the pesos equivalent.

I forgot to add that getting a visa requires that you a purchase ticket and a reservation for accommodations for residency
