To speed up the learning process and to see if I would really like to live/work in Japan, I'm considering of going to there to learn Japanese for at least 6 months and see the culture in person, all alone.
I think that joining a school shouldn't be too hard. My biggest concern is getting a roof. I have read in the forum that this is very hard for a foreigner.
Do you think this would be too difficult to accomplish? or if it even makes sense? Money would probably not be a problem but I wouldn't want to spend a fortune.
My budget would be around 100.000 yen per month. (house/room, food, and school fees and other stuff for transports, etc). Is this enough?
I'm really interested in seeing the Japanese culture up close and I have other options to go there but they would be somewhat taking a step back. (like doing another master degree with a Monbukagakusho scholarship  . Also I can't find anything interesting in Computer Graphics for a master degree)
Thanks for reading and for any replies. |
I think it would be near impossible to pay for school AND rent for 100,000 per month. A school could easily cost that much on it's own, and depending where you live, so could rent (thought that would be a little luxurious).
