I`m now married, and *own* a home. I`m willing to answer pretty much any questions about real life in Japan - not the English teacher in Tokyo type stuff... Because that`s only like 0.1% of reality. (Not to offend any of the English teachers in Tokyo or anything though.)
We usually try and help other people who are/were in the same boat as I was when I came to Japan (Bad family life, etc), but last year a girl we let stay with us really screwed us over so we have stopped for the time being. But I really want to help people, so if I can in any way please ask!
(Oh, and I think I mentioned a lot more stuff in my intro in the introductions thread, so...)

I am going to be moving to Japan, hopefully within the next year or two. I have huge dreams for myself. I don't know how I will make it financially in Japan. Is it really as expensive to live in Japan as everyone says? If so, what are some good jobs I can look for over there? I hope to land a modeling job in Japan, but if not, I'm not sure where to go...
(Gomen if you have answered this type of question before.)
