Monday January 10 Before you even think of moving to Japan

So, you have decided, for whatever reason, that you want to come to this country.  Well, I would strongly advise you to stop and think about exactly why, or rather, for what purpose.

There are roughly 4 main groups that you can divide yourself into.
1 Tourist You are just planning on staying in Japan for a few weeks to a few months
2 Work You are planning on coming to Japan, and staying here for roughly 1-5 years
3 Live You are planning on staying here for as long as you can
4 Expat Your company is going to pay you a bazzillion bucks and give you a free apartment

So, which ever group you are in, I will explain that to do next week. 

Until then, stay frosty.

  1. I have always wanted to visit Japan but it would most likely be only for a few weeks. The main problem is with money but as soon as i get enough i'm heading out there. Do you know how much more expensive it is to live there for a while (not including somewhere to stay) than say in Britain?

  2. If you're in Britain, you actually in luck. Since the pound has such a high value, exchanging money will be kinda easy for you.

    If you know anyone in Japan, it'll be a billion times easier. When I came to Japan, I only had about $500 and I've been here for years now, so if you have patience and perseverance, you don't really need much.
