If you get bored fast, and you are short on cash -- yes you are -- why on earth do you want to stay for that long. "Sight seeing is nice and all, but I can't do that for 2 months straight!" Then stay for a month or less!

Christ dude.

If it is a wife you are hunting for, go to the Philippines or Thailand like everybody else. It is going to be a lot easier and cheaper.

You won't find anything decent with shouting English, so start working on you japanese if a wife is your quest.

If you just want some fun, stay for a month or less and blow your money.

I don't see what is so important about staying for as long as possible if you don't want to.

As for work, ask the Nigerians
