First, what should I do about my cell phone?

At this point INTL cells are crazy expensive. Plan on getting a phone on Japan. They have prepaid over there.


My second question can probably only be answered by girls. I'm currently on the birth control pill Yaz--can I get it filled over in Japan? Will it be more expensive? Or should I have a family member fill it in the U.S. and send it to me?

Plan on getting the pills sent to you from the US.

Thirdly, I am from Las Vegas. I'm currently attending university in Hawaii. I stay in a dorm, and while I've already decided that I will see if a friend can store my fridge and fan (since I'm coming back here), but what stuff should I leave home and what stuff should I take with me to Japan? I'm going back home over summer so I'll be taking most of my things anyway, and clothes and shampoo and whatnot are a given. However, will my bedding fit the beds over there? Will I need things like a fridge or a microwave in my dorm room in Japan? How big are they, anyway?

Bring AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Just the clothes you need, and that's it. Also bring toothpaste and deodorant. It is cheaper to buy bedding than ship it. And your room will be small.
