<p>In summary, Japan was really awesome.  I highly recommend you visit sometime if you’ve never been.  Here are some key points:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Bring a lot of money (cash).</strong> If you plan to shop for clothes or buy music, bring a sufficient amount of money. Clothes there is actually very expensive, comparable to US prices but sometimes even more expensive. The reason why I mentioned cash is because we couldn’t find any ATM machines there to get cash. Yes you can pay with a credit card at the big stores, but there’s still the transaction fee per purchase. Food is also pretty expensive. Bottom line: bring more cash than you think you will need. Trust me <img src='http://geekwhat.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li><strong>Good looking people everywhere.</strong> The rumors are true, prepare yourself. Japanese people know how to dress well and look good. Age 15-40, they all put some thought into their appearance. I respect that much <img src='http://geekwhat.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li><strong>November to February = COLD WEATHER.</strong> It was below 10 degrees Celsius the entire time we were there.  Super chilly!</li>
<li><strong>Places to visit in Tokyo:</strong> (that I visited and were pretty worth going to) Shinjuku, Odaiba, Harajuku, Ginza, Asakusa. If you want to know more, leave me a comment and let’s talk more in depth!</li>
</ol>
<p>If you plan to be outside of your hotel most of your stay, perhaps you could try one of Japan’s famous capsule hotels. Basically, you are provided a bed and that’s it (plus communal bathroom). The bed is like a capsule (hence the name), very interesting <img src='http://geekwhat.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
