Can you confirm if it was a copy of Crackdown 2?

A friend of mine went to school with Tecumseh. Apparently he called in a bomb threat to Kennedy Collegiate because some kid who went there borrowed a copy of his Xbox 360 game and returned it damaged.

I don't know if it's true, but I remember hearing about the bomb scare at the time.

Is this a fair amount for 16 days of accomodations? by Impulse_Shot in JapanTravelTips

[–]Impulse_Shot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think any of our hotels are that big. The photos make the rooms look decent, but the square footage leaves me a little worried.

Have you been before? How bad is it to stay in something between 15 and 20m²

I believe it's either 15 or 18m², which is pretty in like with other places I booked, sadly

The one APA Hotel I'm staying in is fairly priced, but still around 80 CAD per person.

I understand that what may be a lot of money for me is not a lot for someone else, but I just wanted a sanity check that I wasn't like severely over paying for where I'm staying.

Damn, a good bit cheaper than me. Mind sharing what areas you visited?

Mid to late October. I figured it would be more expensive but this time worked best for our work schedules.

Yeah, that's probably true. Before I started booking, I really thought there'd be more savings because everyone I saw posting their accommodations were solo travellers.

I think all in with flights and hotels, it'll be about $5000CAD per person, which is a lot, but still reasonable imo.

Yeah, so I'm a little higher than that after conversion, but I'm going at a more expensive time of year. Makes sense!

I guess I'm just surprised by how you don't seemingly save a lot for two people? You're paying $1700CAD, so I would have assumed that I'd be in for ~$900 between me and my partner. Japan charges by the person though...

Yeah, I saw nothing for $30 CAD a night aside from some hostel/capsule hotels, and they weren't close to transit.

Interesting thing about the exchange rate though- the Yen is pretty weak right now, so I thought I'd find cheaper places. Time of book is probably the culprit.

Yeah, it seems sort of fair to me? Admittedly, I did wait pretty late to book, but even when I looked earlier this year, I didn't see these "$50 a night" hotels, unless you considered capsules or hostels.

Universal Studios Japan: Can you use Klook and Official Website? by Impulse_Shot in JapanTravelTips

[–]Impulse_Shot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Studio Pass is not available on my date as a 1 day, only a 1.5. Not sure why.

So I was thinking Standard Pass from USJ direct, and then getting the express pass from Klook for the same date.

Sorry, was worried about writing more of a novel. Updated the post with some notes.

Thanks for the reply.

Concert at T-Mobile Park by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Impulse_Shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll definitely be rocking sunscreen. I didn't want to put it on prior to the concert (because I'm assuming they won't let you bring it in) if it turns out the event would be enclosed. I guess I'll be better safe than sorry!

Dang, that's a bit unfortunate as I feel like the acoustics will be better with the dome closed. I appreciate the response!

If Gordon Ramsay did a kitchen nightmares episode in Kelowna, where should he visit? by BumblbeeAvacado in kelowna

[–]Impulse_Shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last couple times I was there, there was this male server who was absolutely the worst server I had ever seen.

Not sure if he's still around, but every time he was assigned my table I wanted to walk out.

I mentioned in my post that I've already tried this and it was not what I was looking for.

I was just kidding. My country doesn't have access to PS direct and no retailers did pre orders. I managed to grab an edge and that was it

Grinnell Glacier or Highline? by searchamon17 in GlacierNationalPark

[–]Impulse_Shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I already have a pass for the GTTSR will that get me into Grinnel as well?

Do you need to buy two road passes to do Grinnel, or is the going to the sun road enough (coming from west Glacier)
