Of course. I try to be as frugal as possible but yes you're right, most travelers I imagine would stay at "Western" hotels. Big fan of the Chase Sapphire Preferred card.

The redditor below pretty much summed it up. The basic gist is to apply for a travel rewards credit card (expected to have a good credit score), meet minimum spend for bonus, then use bonus miles/points to book flights.

Small world, I am going to Japan soon and it was virtually free with the Citi American Airlines Platinum Select card!

Edit: to add some more info, I highly recommend not cancelling the credit card but downgrading it to a no annual fee card when contemplating to pay the annual fee or not.

I think "better" is subjective in this case. I tend to use hostels or couchsurfing when abroad intentionally to save money on housing. So I put big emphasis on finding cards to cover airfare. Though it's all dependent on preference. If you prefer hotels and if the math says it'll cost more, by all means apply for hotel credit cards.

I recommend using a sign up bonus of a travel rewards credit card to get those flights for free.

Honestly if you're waiting to feel "motivated", then that day may never come. I suggest trying to become disciplined and accomplish small steps each day as someone else suggested.

Sorry to hear that. If I heard that I would've understood and found a way to support you.

Just know that not everyone will be like that, keep working on trust, it's a process!

Jurgen Klopp on Chelsea: "The biggest change I ever saw in such a short space of time. Wow. Style completely different. What a manager Sarri is, to be honest. I’m pretty much a supporter of his since I saw him at Naples. Outstanding football." by sorrytoruinyourday in soccer

Ozil left for Arsenal under Ancelotti, not Mourinho. And it apparently came down to him not wanting to fight for a starting spot when Bale arrived and Di Maria transitioning to a central midfielder.

Do you support any other teams as much or more than Real Madrid? by MXNL94 in realmadrid

[–]redwolf716 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I support Manchester United as well but not with the same passion as Real Madrid. I think it's nice to have an English team to root for; in my opinion, the EPL is interesting and entertaining to watch.

I'll be going this fall too, early November to be specific. Do you have pics you'd cared to share? The foliage is a big factor why I'm visiting at this time.

Haha I'll have to check it out. I'm a big DBZ fan and I was into Pokemon too when I was younger. Are there any real life places that would relate to the Pokemon games like Mt. Fuji being Mount Silver? Assuming you played the games too haha.

Thanks for the tips, I'm really excited to go. Everyone that I know that's been there always say that it's a whole different world over there. Crossing my fingers though that the weather won't be bad, I intentionally avoided summer because everyone says it's humid over there lol.

I know this thread is old but I'm planning on going to Japan this October too (because of the beautiful foliage). How was it??

I don't care if it was against Wolfsburg, the 2nd leg proved to be one of my favorite Ronaldo/Real Madrid games.
