mattastic13 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Hello all! I will be traveling to Asia (specifically Singapore, Tokyo, and Taipei) in the first half of march for work. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on fun stuff to do, the more Star Wars related the better. Quote
Runnriottt Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Tokyo is a blast man! Bummer ill be there in early April or I would meet up with you. GO to Ginza, and if you are a partyier then Rupungi. Sights check out the Palace and the Tower, and just taking in the city is cool as well. The Train is easy to ride, so getting around isnt all that bad. You can do pretty well on English, the signage and stuff is all marked. Quote
Hope4sun Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 Singapore zoo, make sure you get a day and night ticket, A: It's cheaper and B: You need to do both as its different parts of the zoo and the night shows are good, sitting and eating your grub while Orang-utans climb down and wander around you is a little strange, must be like living with Wookies lol. Also Orcahard street its the main shopping area, just worth a visit to see 44 malls in a row. Be sure to eat in the food halls too, try Roti Prata (like pancakes with a choice of fillings) Tokyo will just blow you away, so much to do , English will be fine (lucky for me my girl friend lived out there and i speak quite good Japanese now, well enough to get bye and a little goes a long way there ) Quote
Delta-38 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 http://forum.whitearmor.net/style_images/F...icons/icon1.gif I've never been to Japan but what I have heard is that the scenery is beautiful plus there some great restaurants. The sushi in Japan is different from here it's more like sashimi. May the force be with you in Asia. http://forum.whitearmor.net/style_images/F...icons/icon1.gif Quote
TD2802[501st] Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I'll be in Tokyo first couple weeks of March visiting family. For all your Star Wars needs, nothing beats Akihabara, or Akiba as the locals call it. That's where i'll be. Quote
mattastic13 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks guys! I will definitely need to check out Akiba Quote
FIVE[501st] Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 We're going to the UAE next week... will be there through most of March. I have a friend who lives there now that we will see who lived in Asia / China for the last 3 years. I will message her and ask for ideas... then post them here for ya. Have fun! Quote
mattastic13 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 So I am here in Singapore and it is amazing! Flight sucked but what can you expect. Thanks for all the great ideas Quote
