250,000 is base. I wouldn't take anything lower. That just hurts everyone.

And if it's enough depends. Where are you? Is transportation paid for? How much is rent? Do you party or eat out a lot? Do you have student loans?

I can pay all my bills on 100,000 but I live in rural Kyoto, rarely party, and have zero debt. So I use the rest to travel. I've been to Korea and Taiwan. Headed to Guam in July.

So yes, it's enough, but not like once month or anything.

I'm planning to live with my aunt for a while so rent is completely free. :D

I understand how being an English Teacher may be the easiest way (and one of the best paying for a foreigner) to go to Japan, but as much as English was my favorite topic in school, I really just don't think it's right for me (but then, the main reason for this is due to my shyness. I don't really like getting up in front of a group of people at times, but maybe if I get over that then it would make a big difference).

I pretty much doubt I'll get a job at anything else, even as a computer programmer, web or graphic designer, or anything else with computers.

All I can do is take one day at a time and see what happens.
