^ Ha. I wanna know the cons about it is all because I work 12 hours a week, 3 weeks a month and I'm on Â¥250k. I'm not an ALT though so maybe that's shittier and I'm starting to think I'm just lucky.

 

Plus the company got me a visa for 3 years with no employment attachment so I can leave them anytime. I'm hoping to find photography work. That's why I took the job. For me it was a way to get here. I know it's not easy in Japan, but you still gotta make the job work for you, not the other way around. I dunno, just what I think.

 

Only shit thing is I'm in Nagasaki and not in OSK or TOK.

What is there do to in nagasaki?

 

250k will actually get you far in nagasaki.

 

Tokyo less so.

 

250k basically is my rent for my apartment in Tokyo. Lolz....

Hah, I figured. Staying there for a month sent me broke. I pay 50k here for a modern 1K about 5 minutes from downtown and central so I'm clearing a little coin but nothing to sniff at.

Nagasaki's okay. Drinking scene is strong (where isn't?) but club isn't. Practically non existent. Some larger bars get a DJ every now and then. Fukuoka is a 2 hour train ride and the night scene there is really good.

I divide my time between the skatepark, learning to fish and a few regular cafes. Hoping to start island/beach hopping this summer cause the surrounding islands have some really nice beaches. But Nagasaki is a good city for 700k people. Plenty to do.

Double post. Damn iphone.

That's kinda like me living in the states. It's not great but things could a lot worse.

250k a month is pretty good considering that was the average eikaiwa salary about 6ish years ago - now its like 190-225k.

 

my friend who is originally from poland has lived in tokyo since 2003 (just before the eikaiwa bubble burst) and has had the same job ever since arriving - teaching 6/7yr old kids english for 20hrs a week at 330k a month. pretty sweet deal really, all he has is a degree in fine art or something and his (japanese) wife works for reuters so its almost like a supplementary income.
