sup /trv/

I start college in the Fall and want to travel this summer, since it'll be my last chance for a few years. I've saved up $5,000 (USD) over the past year and really need to temporarily get the fuck out of the suburbs (never been farther than a state away in my entire life.)

I want to go somewhere urban, since I don't have an interest in beaches and am tired of quiet places. Thinking Tokyo.

My question, though I know it's really broad, is: Is $5,000 enough for two people to vacation from the US to Tokyo for about a week? Money for dining and buying shit isn't really a factor, I'm just really oblivious to transportation and boarding costs due to never having traveled before.

Pic unrelated.

Luckily for you, Tokyo is a place to where air travel is relatively cheap.

Roundtrip tickets for 2 would run you about 2k. That leaves you a fair amount of money for staying there, but you probably know about the XBOX HEUG inflation problem that Japan has, and well, it's quite true. You could very easily drop 200,000 yen (which is about $2000) in a few days if you don't stay yourself. You'll be fine with 5k though.

Thanks for the info.

Also, Japan is a lot more appealing to me for being an extremely different environment than a Maryland suburb than for animu.

IF you want Urban you should go to Detriot, whitebread.

Why not go to China? Cheaper, better food, and since you're not going to Japan for "Cultural reasons' (anime and frog porn), I don't see what you'd be missing.

Seriously. Go to Hong Kong and/or Macau instead of Japan. Macau is cheaper if you think you're going to be tight for money.

2nd the HK/Macau area was alot cheaper and generally a more enjoyable experience. you feel way too crowded, way too rushed, and way too disrespected no matter your level of familiarity with Japanese. Tokyo can feel like it is full of Parisians or Moscovites sometimes.

Seriously. What the fuck is up with people believing travelling would cost them unbelievably large sums? $5,000 for one week? Are you kidding me. For that money you can stay in Tokyo for at least two months. If you have to split it up for two people, make it one month then.

I stayed in Japan for three months for $3000, and probably could have done it cheaper.
