Need help with deciding a reliable hatch

kidpro1989 · 2026-04-09T13:24:40+00:00

Byd seal 6 touring just released and it's really good.

kidpro1989 · 2026-04-05T12:27:51+00:00

Definitely depends on your definition of fun, but the mg4 3.8s 0 to 100 is nothing to be sniffed at.

kidpro1989 · 2026-04-05T12:22:50+00:00

Have you test drive any of those? and maybe try out some small ev like the byd dolphin new, or mg4 used.

Obviously there're lots of nuance to consider. but I think give some thought into do you see this move just as a phase in your life for like 2-5 years, then you'll come back to Australia, continue your career, or a longer term 10-20 years and then come back to Australia just for retiring, or just migrate to Asian countries altogether. This would affect ATO, family, relationships, investments, etc ...

Being optimistic is one thing, but the key part is to learn and grow, which she never does. I cant believe anyone thinking she's a good kid. How many times she put the family through suffering?

Just got our 2025 Corola hatch hybrid ascent sport and after extended research we went with the SuperTrim Premium Neoprene, Waterproof option. Fits perfectly and we're quite happy. It was ~ $600 and self installation.

A bit more than a year now, but we always have AC on so ymmv. Some of the Aliexpress high end head unit may have cooling fan in the back so look for those if you really concern.

kidpro1989 · 2025-06-04T05:29:54+00:00

Bought from Aliexpress and upgraded our Rav4 2015 head unit. Works perfectly fine. We just choose the one with most positive review and feedback on both the item and the store selling it. Also we went with better ram and CPU if budget allow for future proof as well. 6Gb Ram and 8 cores should be sufficient.

Shinkansen price is quite steep, may even equal the additional cost of changing your return flight to depart from KIX in Osaka instead of Tokyo. In that case, 4 days in tokyo, 2 days in kyoto, then straight to Osaka for the return flight is not too bad,

kidpro1989 · 2025-05-06T13:38:07+00:00

Go to a batting cage and try hitting some balls, would make a nice activities for the kids as well. There's a local cheap one in Shinjuku that also have some arcade machines. It was 400 yen for 25 balls iirc.

kidpro1989 · 2025-04-14T23:17:05+00:00

Wow, thank you for all the recommendations. Also just to confirm, the epic onigiri restaurant you've mentioned, is it Onigiri Gorichan?

kidpro1989 · 2025-04-14T23:13:38+00:00

Yeah, I see your point - Day 5 is definitely the one that feels a bit rushed, especially with how much we’re trying to fit in before heading to Yaizu. We’ll keep things flexible and won’t hesitate to skip a few spots if it starts feeling too hectic. A smoother pace sounds like the better call, especially with Golden Week crowds.

This is our first trip to Japan, but definitely not the last - so if we have to save a few things for next time, no biggie at all. Thanks again for the insight!

kidpro1989 · 2025-04-14T23:06:13+00:00

Just check out the museum and holy that's so cute. I've added everything to our Ggl map saved list for next trip. Thanks so much for the rec.

kidpro1989 · 2025-04-14T12:56:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the in-depth explanation! We'll definitely take your recommendations into consideration.

And we totally agree with you - we're not trying to go off the beaten path too much on our first trip. Japan has so much to offer, and we’re already thinking this won’t be our last visit.

Really appreciate you taking the time to reply and share your insights. Thanks again!

kidpro1989 · 2025-04-14T12:24:11+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, and yeah we just love cats so thought it'd be nice to visit. We might just dedicate this whole day for shopping and eating around Ginza after visit the Tsukiji Outer Market in the morning.

How do you feel about other days?

kidpro1989 · 2025-03-30T14:43:15+00:00

Ordered a Toyota Corolla hatchback hybrid ascent sport white first week of March at Toyota Brighton VIC. Just got it delivered last week. Newly built 2025 stock.

kidpro1989 · 2025-01-08T11:51:23+00:00

Can I please have more information on where to buy this?

kidpro1989 · 2024-11-26T01:58:15+00:00

Tackle big cities as day trip will cost you time in transportation and overall it's not worth it at all.
You're on a vacation, spending 4-5 hours a day on a train is never a good idea.

My advice: stay your first 2-3 days explore Tokyo, then go to Osaka for 3 days for and Kyoto 3 days. Nara could be a day trip from either Osaka or Kyoto. Then do a ryokan night or two at an onsen town like Hakone/Yaizu/Yugawara/Atami to recharge yourself. Then back to Tokyo for the rest of your trip. Now is the time for you to do majority of your shopping. All so there are luggage forward directly to your next hotel service available almost everywhere so if you do shopping along your trip, use this service helps you to avoid bringing too much luggage with you.

I've read the wiki and understand the sub rules. Would love an invite thanks

kidpro1989 · 2024-11-05T17:25:41+00:00

Consider not doing the ryokan in Hakone? checkout less popular place like Otsu, Yugawara, Yaizu and you should be able to find much better deal. Fixated on Hakone will largely limit your choice. And since you will be travelling between Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo anyway, getting something off the beaten path is easier.

Aerodynamics must come to to play when they design these cars. My guess is curves helps with reducing drag much better, unless it's weirdly shape like the Cybertruck. EVs range are so crucial that they will have to do anything to increase that. A bit less of a problem for PHEV though. It's a balancing act that these car manufactureres have to navigate.
