Neither do I, but doesn't that make you 16? Though your writing style pretty much gives away your age anyway
.

>>9823695
Get the fuck out.

>>9823633
depends, the usd-jpy exchange rate sucks so yeah it's expensive, even if you're not living in a big city. currently all my money goes toward food/social crap/manga/light novels

and yeah i'd definitely suggest learning some japanese if you do decide to go

>>9823680
>So /jp/ how is life in Japan ?
Okay, average, so-so, up and down.

>Does anyone (from /jp/) live there at the moment ?
Yes, uh-huh, yep.

Is life expensive there ?
Yes, mm-hmm, definitely.

>I have an opportunity to move there (Tokyo) for 2 years and i dont know should i take it or not .
Do whatever you want, your life, your choice.

>I dont speak japanese at all so i dont think i would fit in there .
Learn, study, pick it up.

>Since i dont know your school system in the states ill say im 2 years away from college .
Okay...? Huh? Err..?

3d year just started so ...
Okay...? ....? Yay..?

>This is my first post here on /jp/ so just bare with me for a while .
Okay.. fine.. sure..

>>9823710
how much money do you spend monthly for the apartment , food and stuff ?

>>9823718
WTF!? is that the source code of 4chan!? are you in anonymous??

>>9823733
Everyone here is anonymous

>>9823726
um i'm actually in a dorm (studying at a university here) so the price is prob different than apartments. food in supermarkets is pretty well-priced (except for fruit) and it's really good quality. i usually buy previously-read manga for like ¥100, so that doesn't rape my wallet too badly. but new manga/LN are inexpensive for the most part

Please do not impersonate me, it's a form of bullying and that's not allowed on /jp/.

>>9823810
Why do you roleplay as Narrator?

>>9823796
is 140k yen enough to pay my monthly expenses ?
ive just done some googling and if 140k yen covers the month , the biggest problem remains the language

>>9823821
That should easily cover expenses if you take it easy and live cheap. Now go learn Japanese.

>>9823821
>the biggest problem remains the language
Are you lazy in just learning Japanese?
Don't go to Japan, you'll just fuck yourself there.

>>9823821
Japanese only takes 2-3 hours of studying a day you little faggot. It's not hard.

>>9823830
how much does regular person spends per month there ?
>>9823832
im not lazy at all but it seems very hard to learn the language in a couple of months. i can do the basics but i dont think ill be able to speak like non-retard

>>9823845
If you study for at least 3 hours a day you'll be fine. And if you're not capable of doing that don't bother going.

>>9823839
if that were the case then everyone on /jp/ would be fluent

typical around-20-year-old-man's expenditure

apartment 70k yen (middle of Tokyo)
food 30k
lifeline 5k
internet and cellphone 10k
other 10k

>>9823884
wow thats actually great
do you have a job ?
my country is very expensive then , our daily food is probably around $50

>>9823901
>daily food is probably around $50
where do you live and what do you eat?

>>9823919
The Balkans
Lots of meat and dairy products

>>9823901
I'm a student
If you can't cook at all, it would cost $20 per day

>>9823931
you must eat a lot of fucking meat with 1500 bux a month

Wow you guys are like massive fags...

Will it be better to move there when I'll be 26 years old without job experience or I should get some job experience and move there later, when I'm around 30?

>>9823952
I show you a massive fag.
*whips out 3 metre cock*

>>9823945
I end up eating less for what i pay for
lifes pretty expensive here
>>9823940
how do you get the money then ?
i can cook no problem with that

>>9823940
20$ a day making own meals, are you serious? what the fuck are you cooking? or do you have a family of 5?

>>9823958
>lifes pretty expensive here
I live off of 400/500 dollars a month in the Balkans, including all rent/utilities/food

>>9823959
Do you have at least a 4 year degree? If not don't move to Japan, you will not find job.

>>9823972
Learn to read. He said $20 a day if you CAN'T COOK. Fucking really?

>>9823984

$20 seems a bit much, is that for two meals per day?
Don't you know all the proNEETs eat only one meal daily?

>>9823984
Fuck off nerd, I'll read when I want to

>>9823958
from parents and part time job
average wage is around 1000yen per hour(only in Tokyo)

>>9823976
I'm in the last year of college, which is 5 years long.
I don't think one can move there without a bachelor degree

>>9823992
>average wage is ~$12 an hour in Tokyo
Japan make more money than American.

>>9824001
Like that says much.

>>9823998
Did you have an internship? If not you should probably work for a few years to get some experience. What degree did you get?

>>9824001

lel. The Australian minimum wage is 16USD, so that's still not very good.

>>9824001
You're comparing a popular city with an entire country. Please stop being dumb.

>>9824007
Minimum wage is 7USD here in glorious 'merrika. Feels pretty 3rd world here man.

fucking fags enjoying in this thread and saging it

>>9824016

What is your maximum welfare payment over there?
That sounds like there may be no benefit to working minimum wage rather than getting welfare.

>>9824016
There's no minimum wage in Finland.

>>9824016
Stop being dumb.

>enjoying in this thread and saging it
u wot m8

>>9824004
No.
I will get a bachelor degree in electronic engineering.
I'm thinking in getting job experience, but I'm afraid if I get too old and the japs won't accept me as an old gaijin without any prior experience in Japan that don't want to teach English.

>>9823867
Except everyone on /jp/ is chronically lazy.

It really isn't that hard to learn japanese but you're not going to have a good time if you go there without a solid understanding of the language and some line or work lined up that isn't working a shrimp factory.

Stay in school and plan this shit out.

>>9824027
sure is 3rd world here

>>9824155

how much moonspeak could you pick up in a year?

assuming 2 hours a day learning

ｗｈｉｔｅ　ｐｉｇｓ　ｓｔａｙ　ｈｏｍｅ

Is it at all possible for a man with no education and limited job experience to enter Japan? I just want to be a fisherman, or a rice farmer. I enjoy simple physical labor.

You foreigners can work at Japan, study and play．
but it's not your rights．
this is　japan,our country.
not yours．
you are not a member of our society.

It's special special favor from us.
Please dont misunderstand it.
All foreigners must think about the importance of showing respect & gratitude for japan．
Surprisingly many foreigners have a mistaken sense of superiority that can push japanese people．
because we Japanese spoilt the foreigner too much.
we'll be only scoffed at by them．
Now,we need to say clearly to silly foreigners．
Remember your place!
BAKA GAIJIN!
thankyou

Consider this: A pack of wild Foreigners.
Savage, googly-eyed Foreigners nearing your nippon home. Trampling your nippon tatami. Not raping your nippon daughter.
And you can't do shit since they're savages. The Foreigner leader grabs your computer and installs Unicode-aware programs.
The primal Foreigners finally dominate your household. They watch Western cartoons on TV and you are forced to be their slave.
Such is the downfall of Nipponjin.

You guys are all fucking dickhead faggots, OP just wants to fucking get some god damn information on Japan. Instead of discouraging him from one of the greatest countries on the fucking planet, why not give him some god damn incite? Fuck you guys fucking suck.

ITT: Neckbeards and Virgin Weaboos.

>>9829941
Woah, aren't you a hero!?

You really showed those assholes huh!
The greatest tip I can give OP is use the archive.
http://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/

Not everyone in Japan willing to write about their experiences are online replying to your thread right now. There are hundreds of informative posts written in the past, and they're all in that searchable archive.
