anyone have any experience of this?
i know i should buy one before i go to save me a fair bit of money, and i then activate it when i get there.
my question is can i buy 2 or more and activate them as and when i need them?
do they really save you that much money?? it costs 300 odd quid for a 21day national pass.
im thinking of going for 3 months. i have somewhere to stay for a month or so in kyoto, and then i was thinking of using a 21 day nation pass to travel for 3 weeks. would it be better to buy regional ones and travel the north for a few weeks, then using a different regional one to explore the south?
its a bit of a complicated business knowing where to go a year in advance, when i really want to choose my route as i go along.
thats quite a few questions really.
any advice would be greatly appriciated, thanks.
edit; i forgot to ask, im also considering taking the transiberian railway either 1 way or both ways. i would get a ferry from Vladivostok to Fushiki. has anyone experienced this journey?
