Japan is expensive. Don't even think about going there unless you have a good job lined up. Like the guy above said, everyone I know who's done the teaching thing, and I have friends or acquaintances who have gone to France, Japan, China, Vietnam, and India and they've all fucking hated it and they were dickef when they got back to the states because it doesn't do any fucking good on a resume. One of em who taught for 2 years in France is currently making minimum wage at sportsman warehouse.
Well damn.. That's pretty disconcerting. I was actually planning on the whole teaching thing being a way to justify a work visa until I could get settled and learn the language a bit so I could land a real job.
But as far as the expensiveness thing.. I've actually heard many accounts from people claiming that it isn't actually as expensive as one might think. They even provided a list of their expenses and general living costs and it actually seemed quite reasonable. This may not be the common experience but I can't imagine I wouldn't be able to make end's meet if I had a steady employment... Guess it's hard to say..
