hello my friends, my names david and im from sweden. i have this little issue that im gonna share with you, and i hope someone here maybe got some pieces of information, advices or suggestions!

im gonna take a one year course on the language school KAI in tokyo in april this year, ive got my student visa and the school have accepted me and all that.
BUT, this global bank crash thing, have if i understands it correctly, made the YEN quite valuable, and the school fee has gotten up, calculated in my currency. i have the opinion to loan money from the swedish CSN, i probably have to do that, but i wonder if im kinda "untactical" if i travel at a time like this, when its so much more expensive.
maybe i shall wait half a year?

i totally want to travel to japan, and to really enjoy my stay, and understand people so i figure i have to study japanese.

OK, my questions is:

is it a very bad time for a scandinavian to travel and study in japan?
is econimic change to suspect?
is it hard to live like a poor student in tokyo?

feel free to just give me some generel tips and advices!

thank you!
