I am seriously pondering dropping my life here in the USA (personal life, not business) and heading off the Japan for the time of my life.


It seems really enticing, enough so, that I am thinking about dumping my girlfriend, selling my car, and flying straight to Taiwan International!

Whats rent like? (compare pricing to USA, dont say its really high and be thinking about what someone makes yearly in Japan)

How are the women?
What types of attractions are there that'll keep a person busy a ton of the time.
How much is food? Electricity, Water, Clothes, Cars?

What is the concentration of whites living in Japan? (atleast in major cities)

What are jobs like there for most people? Do they have enough money to be able to spend it on frivolous, or not 'neccesary to life' things?

How well would an English Teacher for Japanese students do?
First Taiwan is not Japan.

Second it is a VERY expensive place to live

Third although most younger Japanese speak English do not expect to accepted into their culture or workplace.

Unless you have a job waiting or lost of money stay home.
