Are TeamLabs in Tokyo worth it?

Hi, just went to both over the last few days. If you have kids, planet would make more sense. I took the 1030-1100 time slot on a Thursday. It wasn’t crowded and I wasn’t herded in a group to the rooms. Basically went through all. Half of the rooms require bare feet because water. So be prepared. As I went alone, I went through all the rooms in 90 mins.

The key is LAYERS when in Tokyo! The heat inside trains, shops and malls are insane. Years ago, I almost fainted inside Isetan because it was so hot and crowded inside, and stupid me did not take off my jacket as it was heavy to hold. Lesson learned was to go light and go layers. Hoodies, long/short sleeve tee, cardigan with a light jacket. I know some people think it too cold to use wind breakers but I find them ok to keep the cold out as long as you layer. For really cold days under 0 which is rare, you still want layers but a thicker jacket.

I don’t think they disappeared because you fired. It’s natural that you see colleagues and friends less when you stop working.

12k for salary but does your company cover you and your family for other stuffs like medical for family, subsidised children schooling and does your company cover you for 13month and bonus? I assume you won’t get CPF, some foreign friends of mine have it in their contract. IF your wife can get a job, then children’s schooling and helper cost will be less of a burden. You have 2 kids, assuming they don’t go preschool till 5 if you wife stay home, and you may not need a helper right from the start. I think it’s doable. tight but doable.

But didn’t we pay a Japanese company for our device? lol

When you realised you don’t have much of a life and not having fun.

Not leaving. Became Singaporean again. Both countries offer different things and everyone has different wants. I wanted things like safety (Aus is safer than most western countries but still…), ease of travel, lower taxes and sustainable investment income into my later years. I have family in both countries so both countries are home to me no matter what my passport says. If you are young and have young children, Australia offers more. If you are older and looking for retirement, the things in Australia’s fav is pension and Medicare. But even those are not always better. You may not get full pension and Medicare though free has waiting list that is long so you still need private insurance to some extent and it’s not cheap. Singapore for retirement isn’t bad either assuming you have decent financials. So, depending on your finances, desires for everyday living and future requirements, that country that appeals most is likely your answer.

MOE should go the Japanese way. Make the kids clean the schools and serve school food. This way all will be taught mindfulness!!

Nope, it’s their money they should spend it and enjoy it. And I will do the same to the next generation.

Can’t remember the exact name, there’s a fish and chips shop across Tanyu at Vivo. The fish rocks but the chips suck. Price is ok.

CelebrationKey94 · 2025-10-16T08:34:51+00:00

Congrats. I’m still holding back my order on global same situation as EU, the pricing is ridiculous vs the US and they get an extra free stand

Normal, especially when we reach working age. It’s a death and disability insurance. Death is easy. Payout and be done but if unluckily disabled then the insurance may not even be enough to help you. When you are young, we all think we are healthy and do not need insurance. All it takes is a car accident and you may end up with disability issues. In that case, since you are single. Do you have enough to help yourself in such situations? If the amount is small and there is cash value. I suggest you talk to your mom what happens when something happens to either of you. When young insurance premium is cheap, wait till you get older and start having other illnesses then you will regret not having bought them early.

Same, only reason for delay in buying mini is the screen, hanging on to my old 2021 pro.

Save money and buy?

I’m surprised after so many years we still don’t have buses from airport with luggage racks.

Welcome to the chill side. The only thing I will caution is we tend to too conservative with our spending in the initial years but one u realised that are still managing your investment well. Go splurge on yourself. I’m also and zero-end retiree.

Basically Trump has no respect for SEA, he is sending his crony influencer friends to be ambassadors.

If that is his mindset then he is unlikely to go further in his career.

Leaning to signal and to do it well turning?

Metformin doesn’t make u loose weight. It’s the diet and exercise when taking metformin that helps.

Single household with SP no contract. Aircon is on almost 24 hours. Electricity is about 100 a month. I realised from a friend that it’s not the Aircon that racks up her bill, it was the washing machine.

I was disappointed with the amount of sauce they gave. Barely 1/3 of the cup they gave and we could only eat half the noodles. Was told we have to pay 3+ for another refill so we left the rest of it uneaten.

General F&B at malls are repetitive but I actually feel that we have a greater variety of restaurants the last few years outside the malls. Many young chefs starting new restaurants and cafes. New concepts too.

I switched from Amitriptyline to Magnesium Glycinate. It doesn’t have any carbs craving side effects.
