Yeah thats 100,000 on top of what i get with a job, thanks

good for you vesperd.!!!!!....post some pix okay?

Well sure, will be there within 2 years, after college and the basic Japanese course done :)

okay it seems it will take a while...lol

i think it'll be safe to say to save up as much money as you possible can when going there. lol. -_- then try not to blow it all on the first week. LOL

I'll try my best not to blow it up in oneday!

lol, it actualy is hard not to spend it all in a short time. so it ould be a joke to be taken seriously. esp in japan...you could very well go broke shopping in tokyo. @_@;

It's not THAT expensive
 

It's quite possible to find apartments in Tokyo and the surrounding areas for for around 60,000JPY a month. There is absolutely no reason you need to spend over 100,000JPY. My apartment is around 20m^2 and is around 80,000/month. It is a 3 year old, 3 story building (4 apartments) that is a 6 minute walk from two different stations on the Yamanote Line, as well as an equally short walk to a metro line inside the circle. It's only a 4 minute ride to the nearest large station. That places me pretty well in the center of Tokyo proper.

With rent, utilities, food, transportation, and a basic cellphone, I think you should be able to manage alone on 160,000JPY/month if you are smart. Luxury items and amusement would be, of course, extra.

Of course, finding a rich sugar-momma to take care of you every night is on you...

Sincerely,
-Eric
