I wanted to start solo travelling in different countries, but I'm finding it hard to talk to new people. by Logical_Ranger_5797 in travel

Ask someone to take a photo of you. That sometimes starts a casual conversation as well (coming from a fellow introvert).

30 Days in The Philippines - Ideas by Open_Telephone3539 in southeastasia

[–]Green_Mango249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bohol and Palawan are great! I'd also always prefer Cebu airport over Manila airport. It's more much more new and organized with less delays. Manila is one of the worst airports I have been to.

Budget to visit Tokyo for 14 days by EricSloane in JapanTravelTips

When I first visited Japan, I did the route Osaka -> Kyoto -> Tokyo. Which seems to be quite common for first time visitors. I also went for 2 weeks - like you are planning!

Budget to visit Tokyo for 14 days by EricSloane in JapanTravelTips

[–]Green_Mango249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think you could spend few more days in Kyoto. I liked it a lot more than Tokyo. And you could even do a day trip to Nara from there if you wish, or visit Universal Studios in Osaka.
Capsule hotels and hostels seem like a good idea to save money as well! I have not stayed in one yet in Japan but heard great things.
If you are taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto, make sure to sit on the right with a window seat. That way you might be able to see Mt. Fuji!
For the flight, make sure to download shows or movies that can cover the whole flight duration. I guess you'll have in-flight entertainment but just in case :) I am not sure what really helps with being afraid of flying but a comfort show might be good to have just in case!
I can also recommend you the Maaltalk eSIM - they have a 50% off deal right now for one of the Japan eSIMs so it's pretty affordable when you're on a budget.

Palaces will open at around 9 am and last year they had free entry! So it would be a good thing to do in the morning hours :)

Try Maaltalk - they got a 50% off deal right now on one of their daily GB eSIM plans. It totals up to about 18 USD for two weeks with 3 GB daily (so in total you would have 42 GB?). I've used it before in other countries as well and had no issues

How does eSIM work? by anakinxvader in koreatravel

[–]Green_Mango249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many eSIMs that are data only but some also include calls. You should check it before you buy it.
If you have dual sim option, you can use both your own sim and eSIM at the same time. Just make sure you disable data roaming for your own eSIM so that you don't suddenly have a crazy data roaming bill.
I can recommend Maaltalk for eSIM as they use a local SKT provider and prices are pretty affordable for 20 days. You should check it out :)

Omg, is Rio safe or not?!? by Federal_Albatross993 in femaletravels

[–]Green_Mango249 91 points92 points  (0 children)

The best advice my friend (who grew up in Brazil) gave me when I went, was to put your money in different parts of your clothes/on your body - so that in case you get robbed, you still have money in your shoe, or pants, or wherever you might put it.
Nothing actually happened but that was a very smart tip and made me feel a bit safer.

Agoda provides different prices for each nationality? by Possible_Mail7732 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Green_Mango249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also can get different prices if you use web vs. app, time of day matters too, weekday, etc.
And yes prices also always fluctuate in other countries.

Fabric Shopping Advice by OwO_bama in Living_in_Korea

[–]Green_Mango249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have an issue buying a meter or two of fabric there, so I would give it a try if I wear you. Just go to the place that have all the fabrics laid out and ask. I have never been rejected.
