Look's like i'll be having to go back to my home country...i wish i could have stayed longer aswell, But unfortunatly i got sick and had to goto a japanese hospital and because i was there for a few days i now owe them hundreds of dollars because in japan even if you have insurance you still have to pay 30% of medical bill's and thats pretty much all my budget gone so i have no money saved up for rent next month let alone food for the next week hopefully i get a better job within the next 2 days (which i doubt).

What sucks the most is i quit my job in australia and used most of my savings to get over here so even if i go back home i'll still be as fucked as i am now. And unfortunatly i don't come from a family that has much money so they can't help me out hell...i don't even know where im going to live...maybe if all my firends hadn't moved to either brissi or WA i might have a place to stay but no everything bad always has to happen at once it can't just happen at a time i can deal with it.

Alwell the overall experience i guess is what i came here for, still can't speak the language fluently and didn't manage to find a decent job but i did have a lot of fun experiences and met a lot of people. Didn't get to travel around japan at all but meh i guess i learnt my lesson lol...even hard work and persistance can't change some things.

Japanese national insurance is still 100 times better than what we have in the US. I pay a couple hundred dollars a month, and then dread getting sick, as they only cover certain illnesses and conditions.

In australia we pretty much get full coverage...from the government...but we have to pay tax...for it...

That's exactly what we need in the US. Any major surgery can bankrupt a family here now. Doctors have to pay incredibly high malpractice insurance because there are so many lawyers telling people to sue their doctors, and that is all passed down to the patients.

You said you were in school?

Anyways, even if your family doesn't have much money, you mean you can't stay with them? That's harsh dude.

No way to get a job?

I was talking about your home country...

Anyways, even if your mom lived in a shoebox, you're saying she wouldn't make room for you if you needed it?

We have that too. Practically everything is free on the NHS. I haven't got a clue why America hasn't done it yet, seriously.
