I am planning to move to Japan after getting a degree in videogame design/programming/whatever you'd call it. Anyways, I have know idea what I need to do to be able to move there, outside of learning the language which i already started doing. I need to know how much money (United States) I'll need to save up to start a new life in Japan. This includes food, my basic apartment (1 or 2 room, including restroom and cooking space), taxes, insurances (excludes car insurance cuz Where I will be living will be Tokyo and I can just walk wherever I need to go), and anything else I'll need to pay for. I will only need floor mat for bed since I already sleep on the floor a lot instead of in my bed (I hate the top bunk). Also could use info regarding whether or not I can get a part-time/full-time job for the period in which I'll be searching for my dream job (video game programming). I know html so I will be able to easily learn how to put game programs on the internet ^^. anywho, I need some help. I have tried gathering stuff off google searches, but can't find much, just peoples' own experiences and reviews of what it is like there. Any help will be appreciated. The most important thing will be knowing how much i'll need to be earning in yearly wages to be able to support myself there. Thanks! I'll check back here every day.
