Japan Manga, Anime & Games Tour
Time to take a break from all the gloom and doom. Here’s a more cheerful news brought to you by Mr. Lim, a former teacher of mine. He’s a bona fide gaming enthusiast and frequently takes random trips to Japan for no particular reason other than spending money. He is also the only (former) teacher I know who owns a PS3 and an Xbox 360. After quitting his job at my former school last year, he has been busy organizing various events and what not.
Anyway, Mr. Lim is organizing a tour group to Japan…for the Tokyo Game Show! Basically it is a one-week otaku-centric tour package with geeky destinations that include:
The duration is from 18th to 23rd September 2007. The total cost of the tour, excluding airport tax, is S$1,600. You can find out more information from the website and this flyer.
For enquiries and bookings, please call 63983686 or e-mail icp@globaltravel.com.sg. You probably will not get any discount for mentioning my blog. LOL.

Ops it seems like I was too late. Due to insufficient response, Mr. Lim had to cancel the trip. But he is interested in organizing one for end of the year (comiket?) or next year. Hopefully I will bring the news earlier next time. >_<

We went with a British company on their Japan Manga Tour. It was cheaper than this and included a private visit to an anime studio - fantastic.
