[quote=\"moomoo2\"]Hi,

Plan to visit Tokyo, Osaka and Koyto from 1/12/2015 to 13/12/2015.
Any recommendation for accommodation in Tokyo and Osaka for 2A and 2C?

Hello, we (2A1C) like these hotels:
Tokyo
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo
Near Tokyo Station (about 5-7 minutes' walk at 6-year-old's pace)
Convenience shop (Family Mart) nearby
Tokyo Station itself has a Daimaru with lovely food hall
Rooms have Nespresso machine and yummy snacks

Keio Plaza
Established hotel about 7-10 minutes' walk (6-year-old's pace) from Shinjuku Station
Rooms are pretty decent
Osaka
Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
Practically next to JR Namba station
OCAT terminal is next door to the hotel (OCAT = Osaka City Air Terminal which is a bus terminal for the Airport Limousine Bus Services for Kansai and Itami airports)
There's a shopping centre with a supermarket next to the hotel
Hotel has a stone chapel inside (recreation of an English chapel)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply. Can share your itinerary with me?[/quote]Me too... Would love to review your itinerary , djl. Can pm me ? Thanks !

Agree. Maybe try selling in this forum.. Can fetch a better pricing.

But then, if you hv those antique classic books, like The Three Investigators ( my favorites ), these can fetch good $$$ too.

Oooooo! The Three Investigators! :drool:
You have? I wan!

Sure ! Free some more.. Ebooks

For physical ones, I hv just a few. Wanted to collect the whole series but gave up when I saw the price tag at Bras basah :siam:

[quote=\"EIA mum\"]Not sure if someone has asked this question before. But is there any avenue to sell second story books? As my children has outgrown some books and it's taking up space at home.


Appreciate information on this. Thanks.

Brash Basah complex ground floor has this 2nd hand bookshop called \"Evernew\", at the corner. They do accept 2nd hand books, and in turn sell to others.

alternately, if u wish to donate books, besides donating to National library, may also donate to your child's primary school library, so that other students got chance to use them too.

It is not worth the effort to lug your books to sell to Bras Basah 2nd hand bookshops. They literally pay you cents for your books.[/quote]Agree. Maybe try selling in this forum.. Can fetch a better pricing.

[quote=\"Ah Bee\"]I called RGS last week and they mentioned that they will send email to those who will be shortlisted for interview (those not selected for half day programme) and will also send to those unsuccessful one. The whole dsa process should end by end Aug.

Normally, COs will start distributing as early as just before the national day holidays. Last year, RGS was the first to make such announcement.
Good luck to all ... And try to relax and enjoy the process... Whatever the outcome is....

Walau, asking parents to enjoy the process is like asking patients to enjoy root canal treatment. :siam:[/quote]Your turn will come next year.. But hor, your DS may get CO by year end You better check with Nvm if he could give u some tips :evil:
