@@cpa2078 hello po! Yup, we booked sa website ni Peach jud around 4 months before the scheduled trip. Regarding sa best time, I always want to allocate more time because you never know if may delay sa flight or sa immigration (sa Japan mismo). For our experience, Cebpac left early and arrived early. Wala pud tao sa immigration. We booked our flight at 3:55pm. We waited a LONG time but its fine kay Terminal 1 had lots of places to explore😅 Maybe you can book your NRT to New Chitose flight from 2:30pm above? 1pm might be a bit of a risk!

In the book, Hillier stated that Angela was the prettier and most outgoing and the character wanted to be center of attention all the time. We see it in the scene when Calvin meets them and instantly isn't attracted to Geo and not Angela. and again we Geo was late at for cheerleading practice and Angela tells her off and eliminates her from the squad. Throughout the book, Geo tolerates Angela bad behavior until the end of the book as you said it was her idea to dismember her. The author never tells why Geo was so violet to Angela directly but does through Geo's actions.

I enjoyed The Premonition, for a bit i thought it was going to get scary but it ended up just being a little spooky. also the raised like siblings thing comes up a lot in Japanese movies/anime - I don't get it. Dallergut was such a let down I thought it was going to be nice and cosy but it was so disjointed and the narrative style didn't work. i think i gave it a decent 3 stars because of the concept and various elements but it could have been delivered in a more engaging way.

Hello! It depends with the embassy at the end of the day 😄 It also depends on the length of your stay, your employment (I was employed during my application), and never overstayed at any country I visited.
