As a JET, you get about $36,000 per year, tax free in both the US and Japan. I was able to save and bring home $25,000 in 2 years.

Wow... that took a while...
Took me 4 days of reading, few hours a day, but I finally managed to read through this whole thread - all 2 years of it. First of all thank you everyone who replied and posted here (Nyororin especially) - all your posts answered any and all questions I had concerning visas, working, education, getting citizenship etc... Thanks a lot. But now just one single question I have... When in United States you can apply for a green (permanent resident) card and with it, live permanently in US while being allowed to do anything you want etc... Does something like that exist in Japan or is becoming a citizen the only way to stay permanently? Thanks, imiss

But yeah, anyways, I'm completely ready to go to Japan. I want to go to Tokyo this year from mid-September to mid-December. I have money in hand etc, now all I'm looking for is a place to stay. I would prefer it if I could do something like homestay but w/o having to go through a school that organizes it - I mean even if I end up paying the same for it, why not let the host have the money rather then the school. Is there a place that I could look? Maybe some people on these forums which have empty rooms which they're willing to rent out for a few month? Also, from what I read in this thread there are plenty of free, or near free classes all around Tokyo where you can learn some (atleast basic) Japanese... So if I'm staying with someone, would be extremely helpful if they could point me in the right direction to find such classes, I would attend them every day if I could... ...I've been trying to learn Japanese for years now from books different programs etc, all useless, other then some basic words and phrases, without having native speakers to talk to, next to impossible learning something like that. Same applies when I was learning english for 2 year before moving to US when I was 8 (19 now). In those 2 years didn't learn anything whereas I was able to start speaking pretty well within 6 month of just living here... Anyways, if someone could point me in the right direction concerning finding a place to stay for 3 month, please let me know...
