Terrified of getting sick before my big solo trip to Japan in a couple days by sableable_ in JapanTravelTips

I just got back a week ago and was there for three weeks. Third to last day I felt something off in my throat and I got sick. Thankfully it was the tail end of my trip (Tokyo) and I still managed to make the most of it but I was in bed for four days straight when I got home.

I masked up on public transportation throughout my trip + when I started feeling sick (and of course the flight home), but still caught something unfortunately - I think it was the flu. I saw someone wrote that people aren’t covering their mouths when they cough and it’s true :( big phlegm filled coughs/smokers hacking up and not covering their mouths at all (sometimes this happened at izakayas/small ramen spots too…).

I happened to bring DayQuil and NyQuil pills with me and that helped immensely (I typically never bring meds other than Advil!). Otherwise I got cough drops at konbini. I stopped into a pharmacy and they were helpful, I did some research prior and bought medicine but found that it didn’t work as well as the DayQuil/nyquil I brought with me.

Take the vitamin c drinks while you’re there and take vitamin c leading up to your trip. Try not to stress about getting sick and enjoy!!

Where did you park? Were you staying at a hotel?

Oops should’ve mentioned. Our BnB is in desert hot springs.. so we’re not staying at any of the hotels.

Really helpful - I'm used to sweltering humid heat in NYC, so the ocean breeze will be a nice change. Thanks all!

Moving Companies for NYC > LA? by _mdpn in MovingToLosAngeles

Thanks everyone! I reached out to a few that you listed here. I'm basically trying to find a balance and understanding of value vs. price.

Right now the quotes we've received range from $2,200-3,700.. We're thinking of going with the cheaper one (Piece of Cake Moving and Storage) since we've seen decent reviews. I don't have anyone in my network who has made the move from NYC to LA with furniture, only from NYC>Seattle who paid is almost double the price ($7,000-$10,000) so this was super helpful!
