The flights are often more expensive than destinations down under, the hotels are always expensive and the exchange rate most of time does not favours Ringgit. I have always perceive a Japan trip would be too expensive until Malaysia Airlines had this wacky 24-hour sale on a couple of their destinations including Osaka which offers return tickets for as low as RM800 all inclusive. It is true that I still have to pay for the expensive hotels, etc but the flight tickets are too low for me to ignore. After all it\u2019s Malaysia Airlines and not a low cost carrier.<\/p>\n<p>Within a couple of hours, we googled to get a bit more info on Osaka (and through this we found out about Kyoto and its awesome attractions) and immediately made the flight bookings online. Another impulse buying, good news for the airlines, not so good for our bank account.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to various websites especially <a href=\"http:\/\/lilyrianitravelholic.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lily\u2019s blog<\/a>, planning for the trip was quite a smooth and fun experience. Our plan was simple. 2 days in Kyoto for Sightseeing , 2 days in Osaka for Sightseeing and 2 travelling days. 6 days are never enough for a first time trip to destinations like Kyoto and Osaka but we had limited time and budget so we just had to go with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>November 1st 2013 \u2014 KL International Airport, all set for yet another holiday \ud83d\ude42 Alhamdulillah.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/1103.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/1103.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1103.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1103-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the many crucial\/must-have tools for travellers to Japan is a portable wifi.
