Sorry, I confused your post with crdoconnor's and he had mentioned Hong Kong.

Thanks for the info. Very usefull since I was thinking of going to Japan and had this lingering in the back of my mind.

Ouch! I take it was much more expensive than usual economy tickets.

What if you planned to buy a train ticket to leave? I don't know about HK but in China it's a mess since it can only be done a few weeks before the travel date and might not even have been possible to do prior to entering the country.

And what happened?

I was planning to do something like this.

My problem is, If I get to a place that requires no VISA but I have no return ticket because I plan to buy the next hop while I'm there, won't this make getting into the country more complicated?
