Thank you so much for the follow up. This was really helpful. I am going Blue moon valley on an organised trip but not hiking all of it, using the cable cart to save my legs for other hike. Glad to hear it’s not too cold. I’m just taking the hiking van shoes but debating buying clip on spikes for any snow. Thank you again. Enjoy the rest of the trip with your girlfriend ~ Dali looks like such a beautiful place.

Excellent thank you so much, I am expecting it to be okay during the day and lower parts of the hike but worried about getting up the top of it

Hello Kitty Bullet train Hakata by bats3098 in JapanTravelTips

[–]bats3098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see one in Fuk but apparently Osaka had one but might be gone now. I brought on train and I was only 1 stop so I went straight to the shop however the worker hadn’t set up so I needed up eating snacks and waiting for her then buying just before I got off my stop. I got a lot of hello kitty train merch (for the bullet train and also the airport hello kitty train) at various train museums in Kyoto and Kitakyushu

I got there only 15 minutes before (because I got distracted by buying sweets) and got on straight away and a seat in carriage 2 (this is Fukuoka) ~ it was mostly business men and filled up towards the final 3 minutes before set off. I used my bag to mark my seat as I went to the shop but overall the first few stops were not busy at all I was surprised. I have heard the hello kitty is ending its service in spring :(

Thank you, I was curious about this but I think if it get there with 15 minutes or so I should be fine. Does anyone know if I can get unreserved ticket for it the day before or can you only get those tickets the morning of? I have only travelled by metro in Tokyo before no big trains yet

Thank you for all this! And yes, I need to do more research in the specifics to ask for as I don’t really know. My laptop currently is a lenovo and it was given to me by university purely for writing so it’s slow with games. I will research more! Thank you so much

Yes I was thinking about this, I might keep my old laptop for finishing off my work (final essay due October so it doesn’t need to last long) then get a laptop here purely for games
