I decided to get greedy after living in a tiny room cramped with 4 people, 2 bunk beds, no room, shared everything, etc. So I decided that I wanted to try out a single apartment where I'm responsible for everything, and then measure it up when I apply for a University and see if I would choose the dorm or an apartment.

The school does offer rooms for 38,000 a month, plus key money, deposit, etc. Theres nothing wrong with them, it's just that they are shared, and I kind of want to get myself into a single room, as well as out of the flow of foreigners. When you are with foreigners too often, you kind of lose the feeling of being in Japan, and it ends up feeling like a place alot of people go for vacation, instead of a nation all it's own. I really want to see just how another nation, another people lives. But it is to be noted that sometimes foreigners know more about places to go than the citizens. (not true for me)

So I'm a bit on the greedy end ^_^.

As for working, I thought I could apply for a working permit on top of the pre-college student visa if the school and the immigration office approves it, and work up to 4 hours a day legally?
