What sucks the most is i quit my job in australia and used most of my savings to get over here so even if i go back home i'll still be as fucked as i am now. And unfortunatly i don't come from a family that has much money so they can't help me out hell...i don't even know where im going to live...maybe if all my firends hadn't moved to either brissi or WA i might have a place to stay but no everything bad always has to happen at once it can't just happen at a time i can deal with it.
Alwell the overall experience i guess is what i came here for, still can't speak the language fluently and didn't manage to find a decent job but i did have a lot of fun experiences and met a lot of people. Didn't get to travel around japan at all but meh i guess i learnt my lesson lol...even hard work and persistance can't change some things.

Another lesson for living in Japan is to sign up for a health insurance.
Even if it's a cheap package, it'll cover the 30% costs and that's what many people do.
I believe AIU has a year insurance which covers basic costs and it's around $1000.
You could easily sign up for it at the airport.
Anyways, how much money do you have left?
I know few hostels where you can stay for only $3000 a night.
Japan Youth Hostels, Inc.
If you think you got a chance of getting a job, you might want to take your chances.
Also, a friend of mine turned down a job here so there might be an opening.

Also, look into gaijinpot for jobs.
Good luck billysweird and hope things work out for you either back in Oz or in Japan.
