Completed Rabies shot, yay!

We started our first Rabies shot on December 7th. The rabies shot is the only one we decided to do in Japan, since it requires at least 3 shots...(First time, one week later, 2-4 weeks from the first shot). 

The rest, we are going to get in Bangkok, our first stop. 

A lot of blog spots suggest getting travel vaccinations in Bangkok as it is way cheaper than elsewhere... So, we've done some comparison...

.......Definitely makes financial sense to do them all in Bangkok. 

****For Rabies shot in Japan, we went to a clinic in Sangenjaya; Futaba Clinic which provides rabies shot for 7,000 yen (approx. 68 USD) per.
