Yeah, as for the work permits, I wasn't sure on alot of stuff, so I was sending emails to the Consulate to check up on info. It's just how much am I really going to be spending for living in Japan that I want to figure out. Thus the utilities post.

I'm just lucky to not have to take out loans, and that my family cares enough about my education to help me out financially. I still don't want to take that for granted, which is why I'm trying to live as economically as I can under the circumstances that I would like.

But it looks more like it will cost around 100,000 Yen per month to live. Apartment, Utilities, Food (cooking not eating out), cheap phone plan, transportation. Yes No?
