Travel: Japan - General

[mamemo]

hi tamarind,


nope, I didn’t wash clothes in tokyo. Overpacked, so lots of clothes to wear ! haha… Although the air outside is very dry and we had to apply moisturiser and lip balm frequently, the air in the hotel room is not as dry.

Most hotels provide a humidifer, so clothes may not dry fast if hang in room.

Are u referring to the walk at Tokyo Station from the JR platform to the Platform to Maihama? Yes it is long ! But they have travellators, so not too bad.

The worst part is at transferring from JR Yokohama to Yokohama subway. Not many clear directions and the lifts are very out of the way. So we ended up spending 30-45 mins there. Waste time.

That's right !

I will be going there for 1 week with my kids, wondering how many sets of thermal wear should I bring. Kids cannot possibly wear one set for 7 days right ?

Are heat packs really useful ?

Heat pads are very useful to warm up frozen fingers.

Hi Tamarind,


Not mamemo, but I brought ds to tokyo before for 6 days, and I only brought 1 set of thermals.

Tam,
heat packs are really helpful.
do put the heat packs before you go out, else not really effective.

I bot DS 3 sets of thermal for 8 days, as he had super senstitive skin, wldn't want him to repeat for too many times since will be using moisturizer on body too. Personally cannot stand the idea of wearing the thermal for too many days.

Hi aa, schweppes, tankee,

Thanks OK I think I better get some heat packs. I wonder if those from Daiso are good enough ?

smurf,
Did you wash the thermal wear in Tokyo ?

aa,
Now I am worried about my son's nose. He gets runny nose even in air-con room. Do you know of any medication good for runny nose ?

Hi Tamarind,


No I didn’t wash…coz not dirty…wear inside mah…but I wash his underwear though…my boy refused to wear thermal after 3 or 4 days, coz he said its not very cold… :!:

And sometimes, he asked me to let him wear sandals when outside… :!:

[smurf]

I think 2 sets for thermals is just enough…

[tankee]

Ya, therma wear usually do not get dirty, unless of accidents.
