Upload passport screenshot takes about 15 mins.

Upload vax cert went for dinner and checked about 2 hours later and it was done.

So not sure 5 mins or 2 hours but I used Noterise PDF so it's official SG gov and Japan see SG gov then no issues.

Buy travel insurance with trip cancellation and if Putin play gangsta and close down Europe then fly to Japan.

SGD now bigger than yen.

If people going Japan I recommend this site for the best restaurants.

I always use it to book restaurants for my MIL.

One hot tip.

In Japan always make sure to casually let them know you are from SG

because they see SG people in the highest regards and have the most respect for us.

Make sure they know you are not from CN.

Too many CN people cause trouble and restaurants give them the kind of service they really deserve.

But JP still not as bad as HK.

I was in HK and always spoke in English so they know I not from mainland.

My colleague kay kiang and spoke to them in Cantonese but her Cantonese not HK style they thot she was from CN and she had terrible service!

Japan still not as bad lah!

One more hot tip.

Go now as CN still not open yet.

When the flood gates open it will be terrible there.

Unless you go off the beaten track where the CN tour buses don't go.

Long live zero Covid in mainland.

Xi knows what he is doing and is doing a great job.
