I wish I have the means to travel to Japan right now because prices never been cheaper, especially food. Feels like missing out on a great opportunity

- merpkz 4mo agoWhat a wild statement, how much you have to eat in Japan to offset the airline ticket prices?
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoI’m assuming GP would like to visit Japan anyway.
- jermaustin1 4mo agoWhy would they have to offset the cost? They are just saying, being in Japan is a cheaper experience right now than ever before (not sure if it is true). The cost to get there is their only impediment. They still want to go and eat food and see experiences they cannot get at home. Also, if the trip is of sufficient length, you can totally offset the cost. When I lived in NYC, I used to travel to the UK a few times a year, and the flights between NYC and London were around $500 round trip. The cost of eating in the UK was typically 1/2 that of NYC, plus cool castles and history.

- cyberrock 4mo agoJapanese storefronts still have rather limited stock of only Japan-locked consoles (shop region and console language locked to Japan). IIUC right now the only way to get the usual international console is through the Nintendo online shop with a 50-hour playtime JP Nintendo account. You'd probably better off taking a side trip to Korea or Taiwan.
