well I did alot of resurch and found out that just for one person to fly to Japan would cost atleast $1,111 USD and thats booked 5 months ahead of time. I found a bomb ass hotel called Homeikan Hotel thats in Tokyo for only $117.70 for one person to stay 2 weeks. so all in all it would cost atleast $1,500 USD just to get there and have a place to stay. so for me to go, I'd like to save up $2,500 before hand. I want my fiancee to go with me but I highly dout she can save up $2,500 USD... but Im not gunna pass this up. I cant, I'd be stupid to pass up being 18 years old and in Tokyo, Japan for 2 weeks. that'd kick ass. ...she's gunna be pist if I go with out her but damn, I cant pass Japan up.

In Japan it's probably best you start as an English teacher. :)
Everybody can do that and the Japanese pay very much. :P
When you're in Tokyo, there's always the chance that you can get in TV shows or movies. They often need foreigners to make their shows cooler. 8)
If you're big, muscular, preferrably blonde with blue eyes, you could work for a host club. :wink: For anyone who doesn't know what that is, you go out with rich business women and take money for it.
Trips to Japan are expensive, but it's definitely worth the money. :D
For me it's good that I have a place to stay and needn't worry about that.

I hope Roll doesn't see this thread :P

"Eikaiwa" or English Conversation schools are a big business in Japan, offering Japanese people of all ages the opportunity to practice their English communication skills with native speakers in small classes or private lessons. Nova, Geos, Aeon and ECC are the leading conversation schools, each operating more than 200 schools across Japan. In addition, there are countless mid sized and small language schools. The major conversation schools operate recruitment offices overseas, including the USA, Canada, UK and Australia. The requirements to get a job differ from school to school, but many require little more than a university degree in any field. well that sucks. maybe I could give private lessons... I dunno. maybe they'd pay for my degree if I left america and went over there? Im gunna look more into this 'cus Im not joking. I want to live in Japan for real.

Hey Manuel... could you do me a favor man? I don't know if you'll be anywhere around Tokyo (I expect you may, though), but there is a certain area that I would like to see photos of if you don't mind. When I was over there we hung out and partied in the Roppongi District (not really the highlight of Japan, but...). There was a McDonald's restaurant on a corner where you could order your food from the outside, and behind that McDonald's there was a Hard Rock Cafe. That's about the best description I can really give besides on the other side of the street from McDonald's was a few blocks of bars and what-not. If you know of or can find that area, it'd be sweet! Here's a pic of the closest pic I have to it.  It's not really TOO close to it, but if memory serves me correctly, as you look down that rail system, the actual area I am describing would be to the right of it. As in, the road runs perpindicular to the rail system. If you have time, that is! :D

okay, I spent about 2 1/2 to 3 hours looking stuff up and some jobs in Japan that dont requre lots of schooling are working at a bar, waiter at a restraunt, or fast food. I personally like the bar idea but you have to be 20 to even buy a drink in Japan. and a few other jobs are what Manuel posted earlyer. between Manuel and what I've found on the internet, I've got ALOT of good info. thank you Manuel and thank you internet. :D

@Roth: I would do you the favor, but I'm quite far from Tokyo in a small city called "Onomichi", which is in Hiroshima prefecture and on the shore of the Seto inland-sea. Sorry. :( For all who aren't that good in Japanese geography, here's a little map.  Many people teach English as private persons, so there's no need for a degree or something. I don't know whether you need a degree for English language schools or not... But basically it's comparably easy for foreigners to find a job. :) @Luke: Muscles aren't THAT important. :wink: And hosts really can earch money. Rumors say that attractive hosts get presents from women that are worth like thousands of dollars and that every time they meet. :) Would be cool, but doesn't work for me because of 2 reasons: 1) my wife wouldn't allow it 2) I don't have the looks anyways. :P

Do female "hosts" make good money?

Just curious. :wink:

Of course. :) I can't think of much jobs in which you could earn more.
But there's one thing. Female hostesses often slide into prostitution. :(

I'd love to go to Japan. I doubt I'll be able to anytime soon, though. I'm in no position to ask for favors, but Manuel, if you see more Koi ponds, snap some pics and post them, will you? I'm a big fan of them. I have a small Koi pond in my backyard, and a lot of beautiful (albeit small) Koi in there. My prize fish, a huge, beautiful white butterfly koi, recently beat itself to death in the filter... I'm bummed.

My plan for after uni consists of a gap year going round japan and china etc. then onto russia followed by eastern europe (places of culture etc.)
Unfortunately, Manuels description of a host is the exact opposite of what I look like! :)

I love koi, too, so be assured that I take pics of every pond I come along. :)
The idea with a gap year in Asia sounds cool. That may become the most interesting time in your life.
And even if you can't become a host, you still can appear on TV. That's fun, too.
I was on TV several times, but unfortunately I don't have it on video, cause it was always live, so I wan't at home to be able to take it on video. :(

I'm too excited about Japan. And as you allknow, Japan is the 51st (or 52nd??) state of the US, so it's ok. :wink: That needs to be corrected.  Thanks for the hint, daynum.

Thanks for the link. :D That's always interesting.
Most famous on Japanese TVs now is David Beckham I think. They give him millions for TV spots that are only a few seconds long... :x
