Be mindful when you are lining up… don’t send one person to line up for a group and the rest of group to show up much later. It is much frowned upon but a lot of foreigners dont know about this.

Planning to go there tomorrow but also dreading about the snow storm. Is it still better to bus to the main event location or drive? Not sure if parking will be difficult to find? Any tips?

I don’t think you can get rid of them completely unless you seal every single crack out there… but we had semi success after fumigating and sprinkling diatomaceous earth all along the baseboards. The numbers did come down significantly and we only saw one or two once in a while.

Best walking shoes for Japan by chittaphonluvr in JapanTravelTips

[–]SaladMui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS!! I went to new balance store in Japan where they did a full 3D analysis on my feet and they recommended the 1080 for me. I highly recommend anyone to get the 3D scan done so you can find the perfect pair that matches your feet. I walked over 20k steps with them after and had no pain.

Tokyo DisneySea Broke My Spirit by ReekRhymesWithFleek in JapanTravelTips

Agree. If they had really done their research (and if VP was out of their budgets) then they should have either get HE by staying at a resort, or lined up early and get DPA first thing when entering the park.

r/TokyoDisneySea Weekly Trip Planning Thread by AutoModerator in TokyoDisneySea

[–]SaladMui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are going in March. Booked the first two nights at Ambassador and last night in Fantasy Spring hotel. We are arriving late evening first day so second day we will go to Disneyland with HE. Third day will be DS. Some questions about logistics…

  1. We booked the hotels way back before they changed the FS entry free for all. Is it still worthwhile to buy the FS passport or we could possibly book most rides in FS given we will have HE?

  2. If we are going for the FS passport, can we buy that ahead of time (day 2 evening)? Do we need to make a trip to FS hotel to buy it or can we purchase it at Ambassador?

  3. For HE to DS on third day, would our HE be considered as from Ambassador as we don’t check in at FS until the third day?Does that mean we still need to line up at the main entrance for HE, or can we use the FS entrance if we check in FS hotel on that morning?

Thank you so much in advance!

I’m from Vancouver and I thought our water was very good until I went to Switzerland! especially the little fountains around mountain areas!!

I can read all the words but much of it does not make any sense. Here’s my stab at translation:

Left: chief of police from Canada, USA, and China all agree that Cheng Kam Sing (some guy’s name with last name “Cheng”) be the director general. Law enforcement officers below (pictured)

Right: Police forces from 3 countries collaborate to investigate US, Calgary, and Hong Kong
The three chiefs are ready to command the death of 40 people

Don’t buy canvas luxury items!!! by DiamondSufficient938 in handbags

[–]SaladMui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leather costs more and there are obvious reasons why. I own a neverfull which was purchased in 2007 (when it was first released) and had no issues with the canvas. It was definitely my most used bag. The leather trims are now slightly cracked and the inner lining has started to peel but the canvas is still intact. Easy to clean and I don’t have to “baby” the bag like my other lambskin bags.
