    I’m curious as to whether the favourable exchange rate actually makes a material difference. I’m also wondering why it took you so long to get to Japan.

      Seagoon had it. Got to MEL early, flight delayed, transited through HKG, second flights was delayed, then some snafus at immigration for one of my friends, then a 1.5 hr domestic flight + 50 min bus to tonight’s destination. Could’ve gotten here faster with a direct flight to Fukuoka or something but we had a really cheap deal earlier in the year with Cathay.

      And the exchange rate certainly helps. Feels like I’m living it up compared to spending the same amount on holiday in Australia.
