-Do I need to learn all the kanji before going to japan?
-How much Do I need for living in Tokyo and not pocket money for around 2 years(I will be taking an apartment)
-How can I get to japan and study there,Which exchange program?I live in Bahrain.
-Is Japanese people or schools nice to foreigners?
-How hard is Japanese schools going to be?
-If I can work hard for it,Should I follow my dream?I won't be having much free time for the next 1 and a half years.
1. I don't think even most natives know EVERY single Kanji. but don't quote me on that. you will probably need to know a decent amount.

2. Seeing as how you will not legally be allowed to work, A LOT of money. I don't even know if you will be able to have your apartment. i Don't know how Hs exchanges work

3.unless your HS does exchanges there is no way to do it until College and that can be a large sum of moneh.

4. I guess it depends on the school? bullying and segregation are in every school I think.

5. Japanese school is hardcore serious business, be prepared to study HARD and your brain for a beating.

6. your dream sounds kinda unrealistic.... I think you should graduate in your home country, get a bachelor degree so you can be qualified for working Visa first.


Hope this helped
