Where can I send paper cranes to earn money for Japan?
For a library multicultural program, we would be interested in making paper cranes so that they may go as aid to Japan. Are there any organizations that are still accepting cranes? Thank you very much!

mate depends or where you are planning to work. there are plenty of opportunities in japan to teach english as it is taught as the second language there. i am sure that the international schools will let you in if your qualifications are put to standard. if it no where near as bad as america or the uk. + its fun anyways
2 :
There is always turnover, so there are always openings even during the downturns. The reality is that some firms prefer fresh blood recruited overseas over experienced people already in Japan. Therefore you are just as likely to get a job as some guy who has been in Japan for years and just got laid off. That's not fair, but that's how it is. You are wise to pay down debt now, at the usual 250000 yen a month it is tough to have much left over at the end of the month given the usual temptations. If you are going to go to Japan, do it because you want to be in Japan and just enjoy. Don't let negative people discourage you.

How much money would I need for a 2 week group trip to Tokyo, Japan?
How much money would I need for a 2 week group trip to Tokyo, Japan?
I'm gonna be traveling with my friends, next year or so, to Tokyo and I was wondering how much money we should make. There would be 11 of us, and one 15-year-old coming with us, so I wanted to know the money estimate for the plane ticket, hotel, food, and transportation. If you have a good estimate on any of these, please answer!

No one on this site can give you an accurate answer since there are too many variables, such as: what airline will you use, do you fly 1st class, business class, economy, what day of the week you fly on, which month you go in, where you will stay(hostel, business hotel ryokan etc.), where you will eat, what kind of food you will eat, what kind of and how how many souvenirs you will buy, where you will go(sightseeing places), what kind of transportation you use, etc. My best advice to you is to go see a travel agent, and maybe that agent can arrange for a group discount.
2 :
Appox. 756.38 Euro which is equal to 1099.2471 USD but when you convert from Euro to Yen you get 88027.5044 Yen.
3 :
Figure $1500 for the air flight. 7000 yen/night for a business hotel each. (You can get doubles and save a bit more as I think a double would run about 10,000 yen.) Standard hotel would run you 10,000 or 15,000 yen/night for the same deal. For food I'd say at least 5,000 yen/day. Transport maybe 3000 yen/day. Those last two figures leave some breathing room, but ask yourself if you would rather bring back a little money or run out of money all together while in Japan. You do the math.

Like the first person said, no one can give a 100% accurate answer. Examples here are all down to personal experiences. As the saying goes ' bring as much as you can afford'. With regards to tickets (and possibly hotels) look at comparison sites and get best quotes and take it from there. You are going next year and these quotes change quicker than the seasons that is why it is best you have a look yourself. This is called empowerment :)
5 :
Airfare from the US is usually around USD$1200-$1500 depending on the point of departure and time of year. A regular hotel will set you back about USD$100 a night for a single room or USD$150 for a double. Try a Business Hotel for a good compromise with prices around USD$70 for a single room and USD$100 for a double. I recommend the Toyoko Inn hotel chain located all over Japan. Prices at regular Japanese restaurants are usually USD$8-$15 a meal, but food can cost you about USD$5-8 a meal if you eat at budget Japanese restaurants like Yoshinoya, Sukiya, and CoCo Ichiban Curry House. I would say about USD$80-100 a day is possible done on a budget.
6 :
Air fare: You need $1000-1500 if you are departing from US Hotel: Usually, you need $100 per night if you want to stay at a hotel. If you want to save money, you need to stay at a hostel which will cost $30-50 per night. If you want to stay at a luxury hotel, you need $200-300 or more. Food, transportation and others: You need $50-100 or so per day. If you want to enjoy shopping, you need more. So you need $100 for hotel and $75 for others per day. If you want to stay in Japan for 2 weeks, the total cost will be $2450. This is just one estimate of 1 person staying in Tokyo for 2 weeks. Yes, there might be many uncertainties if you are as many as 11. Like how many hotel rooms do you need? But I hope it will help you somehow.
7 :
1000-1200 for airline 75-150 for hotel if budget on food 5-15 dollars a day. if budget on entertainment 60-100 dollars a day. for 11 people, times that by 11

I teach English in Egypt and while I am in a smaller city and the pay isn't good (it's ok as I have my own business here), in Cairo or Alex you can earn between 10,000 or 15,000 EGP a month, (5.67 to 1UDS) and a package of housing, transportation, and holidays with an accredited, renown school. You won't get rich, but you will make more after expenses than in the US. In Egypt there are taxes, but Kuwait and UAE are tax-free. In order of most expensive to live to least expensive are: 1. Dubai-very expensive 2. Kuwait- moderately, based on lifestyle 3. Egypt-least expensive but you will compromise your lifestyle The lifestyle is challenging at times, of course Egypt is an Islamic country so it can be quite a challenge for some. You should be aware of the culture of Arabic Islamic countries and the costs before coming to any of those countries. For example, during the Holy month of Ramadan, if you are caught taking a drink of water in public before the sunsets, you will be arrested and put in jail. My first Ramadan in Kuwait, a little phillipina maid was caught drinking a juice on the street and was put n jail until the end of Ramadan, so she was jailed for about 10 days. She didn't know the custom, and all I can say is thank goodness my co-workers told me in advance, because I wasn't aware of it either, or I may have ended up in the clinker. hahaha Also, it is third world, here where I live, compared to America or Europe, so things that we take for granted are not the status quo here. Services, products and sanitation are all issues here for me. I worked 1 year in Kuwait, and 2 years in Dubai, and you might like either one of those countries better. They are cleaner and more Western. Depends on how much adventure you want. Know that English is everywhere in Dubai, less common in Kuwait and Egypt. So if you don't speak Arabic, that can be frustrating in those countries. Do be prepared for the least professional services, and business environment in the world(at your work) in ANY of these countries. They are light years behind in business practices, human resources and customer services. (Sorry to say it, but so true) In Dubai, it is about 7% nationals and the rest expats, comprised of about 87% Indians and the rest a mix of Asian's and Westerners. Exploitation is common practice and while there may be "Labor Laws", you will find unfair and inhumane business practices everywhere based on Nationality, and how much ""Cousa" or personal relationships, one has that protects you and helps you. Also expect insincerity and dishonesty in most of your interactions. Cheating others is common practice and accepted here. Things like under-the-table business happens and even in government offices people will pass money wrapped up in a newspaper to the clerk to get the stamp or seal they want on their document. It's HOT HOT HOT here too. So think of that. Yes, to answer your Q, many expats left Dubai and Kuwait over the past year. it was reported that 35,000 leased cars were abandoned in the Dubai airport parking lot as expats just ran out of the country and left the cars behind there. Crazy huh? I don't like Dubai, I love Egypt and but can really best recommend Kuwait to you. I don't mean to discourage you, it is my duty to inform you of my experiences. It is only my opinion and my experiences. Nevertheless, it is an adventure that any bold, cultural savvy person can enjoy! Best of luck, and email me if you have more Q.

Planning a move from Los Angeles to Seattle: How much money needed for a single person to make the move?
Planning a move from Los Angeles to Seattle: How much money needed for a single person to make the move?
I'm planning on moving to the Redmond/University/Bellevue area [a wide area, I know]; I would be moving alone, minimal items to move [maybe 2 bags worth of stuff], and possibly looking into either renting a studio or a room in a house; as for what type of job-oh... I've only returned from a year+ living in Japan, so would probably just be looking for customer service or retail work. I've found I really do like working with people, and as I have fairly simple tastes in things, I don't need a lot of money. So-any advice on how much money I should have available to make a successful move, would be so appreciated.

You should have at least $2,000.00. I would suggest that, unless you have a close friend there, avoid Redmond or Bellevue. Look for a place within the City of Seattle, like Wedgewood, Lake City, Ballard, or Magnolia. It's easier for commuting to Downtown where the jobs are.
2 :
Well, you'll have to have 2 months rent upfront, a security deposit, and have at least a few months rent put away for emergencies. You'll also need to pay for things once you get into your place and for activations & deposits for your utilities. Figure $100 to activate your cable and possibly as much for your phone. Good luck with your move.

basically there is a $10000 inspection involved. once it is inspected you will probably have to replace the glass, the emissions system, and the bumpers to meet u.s. standards. i would recommend getting the u.s. integra type r. it will only cost about $25000 and is already street legal and has the exact same engine.

I have seen a salary reference for an ESL Instructor at http://www.esljobsly.com/article/esl_teacher_salaries_in_different_countries.html It provides detailed information with a chart. It seems you can get most money from taking ESL jobs in Austria, Saudi Arabia and Germany.
I have a university degree (Bachelor of Arts degree, major in Fine Arts), I will probably get a CELTA certificate. Which country can I make the most in? Is it possible to teach at the university level/public school level or only private language schools? I have taught in private schools in Japan and I now teach at a public highschool in Korea. I don't mind where I teach but I'd prefer somewhere new.

Marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine. And then you get to stay for free in jail. Now to the more real. You will have to find your customers. Are you going to stand out on the street and sell your goods? Do you have sufficient Japanese language skills to pull that off? How are you going to sell this stuff? Japanese people aren't members of a third-world country that are going to come running up to you to buy stuff. As a general rule, anything you can bring over, they already have the option of buying. Yeah, they may have to pay a higher price than you can buy those items for, but you have to make a profit too. So there goes the markup difference. Now, why should they buy these items from you, even considering that you can find the customers. If you want to make some money, take hard to find goods to a third-world country and make a little, and I mean 'a little' cash. There aren't any people that I know of that get rich with such a scheme. It's totally unrealistic. Oh, and 'large amount'? Have you noticed the weight limitations for most airlines these days? Okay, so it goes back to my joke. You want to make a lot of money? Bring in drugs. No, change that, TRY to bring in drugs. Of course you will STILL have the distribution problem. And I'm sorry, but there is no niche market where you are going to make any money that your post seems to imply that you are searching for. Once again, finding the customers. NOTE to John Davidson..... and exactly HOW is he going to find his customers? Does he have their sizes? Okay, try Yahoo! Auction. Can the questioner write Japanese? Answer the inquiries he receives? Handle the shipping details? Ain't no PayPal, so how about receiving the money. Be real here. Just take a deep breath and say, "Do WHAT?"

We are in globalized economy. Any one can get anything from other countries easily. There is nothing which is "not common and can be sold at good prices in Japan" But there could be any niche market if you search for drug or cosmetic industry. Good luck.
3 :
Anything you can think of to sell in Japan, someone else is already selling in Japan. If they aren't, it's probably available on Ebay with cheap shipping to anyone in Japan who wants it. There is no "easy" way to make money in Japan, just like there is no easy way to make money in the US. If you want to start a business in Japan, think of a good idea and put in a lot of work and you can do it! Good luck.
4 :
There's nothing much really that cannot be purchased in Japan or on the internet. Also you will run into a lot of problems with Customs if you are importing a large amount. Plus you have to pay a lot of taxes if you are caught.
5 :
Abercrombie & Finch is extremely popular right now in Japan and they have just opened their first store in Tokyo. The prices are really expensive in Japan and I always used to order my clothes from A & F in the US and have them sent as it worked out cheaper. You would make a killing by selling these clothes at a lower price in Japan.
6 :
It Is Illegal for you to engage in Activities that make money in Japan if you are on Visitor Status or do not have a work visa. If you bring a large amount of items you can be questioned by customs and denied entry into Japan.

How much do you earn weekly in japan?
Like i seen many people say that the apartments in Tokyo are EXPENSIVE but they are not for me? some people say that they are 800 monthly? thats not a lot...i have to pay 1,500 dollars a month!! so i was like maybe we make more money here? SO how much money do they make in Japan weekly? and do their rents go monthly or weekly or worst DAILY?

It really depends, just like here. There are really expensive apartments of course, while there are some crappy SMALL apartments for even less than 500 around Tokyo. Rents usually go monthly, but you need to pay deposits and some extra in the beginning. Remember, rooms are almost always smaller in Japan for the same money. The salary there also varies a lot, depends on the profile (age, type of job etc).

19 :
-Learn how to make fast and easy funnelcakes, buy the toppings and have a funnelcake/bake sale in front of your house. - find a friend and do a yard sell. post an add saying that you will mow lawns for x amount of dollars. - Ask parents is there something that you can do around the house for extra money. - Friends parents is there something that you can do around their for extra money.
20 :
Follow these steps: 1. Have one of your parents open a paypal account. (I'm assuming you don't have a bank account.) 2. Create a MySpace page or web page or something (based on your skill) that talks about how you're trying to find ways to earn money for your trip. Talk about the trip and how great it's going to be and how much you want to go on it. Include pictures of the destinations, etc. Put an DONATE NOW button on your webpage. 3. Collect emails for all your family and extended family - start with them, and friends parents - any adult who knows you! School teachers, people from church, everyone you can get an email address for - who might know you. 4. Make a really fun, interesting email. Put a link to your webpage on it AND put a DONATE NOW link on it. Ask in the email for the receiver to email it to friends, family and co-workers. You want to get EVERYONE to send it to EVERYONE and have them donate for your ONCE IN A LIFETIME TRIP TO JAPAN. 5. Email this out. Depending on how many people you know and what type of people they are, you can earn anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. FOLLOW UP - After a few weeks or a month send out a 2ND EMAIL that says, "Wow, you guys are so nice. I raised $xxx for my trip. I'm almost there. Plus I saved some more on my own. I only have $xxx to go. Can you please help me? Send this email to other people who you know and might want to help." You can follow up a couple months later with a 3rd email. People love a good story!! Tell them YOUR story. Find emails for people who write for your newspaper and send them an email saying, "Look what I'm doing! I'm xx years old and really want to go to Japan. I made a website so my family and friends can help. Would you be interested in doing a story about me?" The bottom line is - IF YOU CAN'T WORK, THEN YOU CAN BEG. Do it cute and happy and upbeat. It'll work!

How can I make a difference without spending money?
How can I make a difference without spending money?
Im 12 years old and I really care about helping people in Japan, Haiti, New Orleans and about animals and the environment. I don't care when people call me a hippie or a tree hugger i just want to make a difference but turning off lights when you leave a room and not letting the water run when brushing your teeth can only help so much. What can I do to help without spending any money?

Plant trees and such in your community park or garden. And on the contrary, things like turning off the lights or shutting off the water adds up and makes a huge difference. It's refreshing to see youngsters like yourself motivated to change the world. good luck!
2 :
You can't make a difference even if you do spend money. When you get older you will learn about all the propaganda that you have been listening to and feel really foolish for believing it.
3 :
Another thing you can do is help encourage other people to donate to some of the relief efforts. Even if you are unable to donate, you can always try to get others to donate by talking to people and putting up flyers for the red cross and other orginizations. You can also find local community services that you can get involved in.
4 :
Some ways to help the environment cost money, true, but some ways actually save money. Take your bicycle instead of having your parents drive you to appointments. Help your parents cook a meal at home instead of going to a drive-thru window. Choose more grains, fruits and veggies, instead of meat, milk and eggs. Save seeds from fruits and veggies to start a backyard garden. Turn down the thermostat and wear warm clothes indoors. Mend old clothes instead of buying new ones. Have a garage sale instead of throwing away old things that are still useful.

New Zealand or Australia [ both have a pretty good standard of living ], and there is a strong demand for E.S.L. teachers due to a large influx of Asian immigrants over the last 10-12 years, particularly New Zealand.

Out of the four Asian countries, Korea is by far the one you can make the most and save the most. The cost of living in Japan and Taiwan has gotten too high and the salary in China is too low.

How much money should I bring for my trip to Japan?
Some friends and I are planning on making a good 3 month long trip to Japan. We are considering backpacking to save on hotel fee's, but aren't ruling out the possibility. Are there any hostels in Japan? How much money should each person plan on bringing to support themselves for the whole trip?

i always bring 10 grand with me when i travel.. but im wealthy. So i would say bring 10 grand if you have it. But, if not, i think everything in japan is really expensive because its on an island.. and the can't grow anything on it so anything with vegetables is expensive. but not fish because they can just fish because they live on an island.
2 :
Where are you going in Japan? Im studying abroad there next year. Tokyo is like the 2nd most expensive city in he world. If your gonna stay there, maybe 4,000
3 :
10k wont be enough. Japan is very expensive, I lived there 3 years.
4 :
I would budget at least $120-200 USD a day for hotel, meals, transportation, shopping, etc. If you are familiar with Tokyo or spoke Japanese, then you could get away with $100 a day but you would be staying far from the center of the city and eating nothing but fast/junk food. Nothing is very cheap in Japan. You will spend at least $10 to $15 a day on train fare alone.
5 :
I am currently living in Japan and have been for 5 years - As far as hostels are concerned I'm not quite sure but they do have chains of apartment hotels throughout. Rent by the day, week, month. Outside the main cities I'm sure there are campgrounds. And yes everything here is expensive but as you learn about Japan you will also find cheaper things. I suggest you each bring about $2500 per month of stay and an empty credit card for emergencies. If you plan on touring from one side of Japan to the other then add another $1000 for transportation fees. Have fun - it is a very interesting country I suggest you learn a little Japanese before coming.

Coming over, eh? I've been here for 3 years now, and I can't really say how much you'll need. It depends on what you plan to do. Japan does indeed have hostels. They're pretty cheap. THere are also places called pod hotels, where you basically slepp in a pod, and everything else is communal. Those run about $30-35 a night. There are also comic book/relaxation stores that let people sleep there for free. They have showers, but not much else. I recommend Japanhotels.net to get a good idea of how much a room will run you. So, estimate about $50 a day for lodging. You can actually eat pretty cheap in Japan, if you like ramen and cheap sushi. I'd say about $50 a day for food. The train isn't that bad, depending on how far you go. Estimate about $10-$40 a day for travelling. If you plan on drinking, uh....bring a lot of money. Drinks at most places cost you about $7-$15. And almost all clubs make you leave if you don't have a drink in your hand at all times. I know I wasn't too specific, but I hope that helps you gauge how much you'll need . Good luck, man. .

For a 3 month trip you can reckon on 15k - 20k per person, really a very expensive country to spend a long time in, i would rather do the China / Tibet kick and i promise you it will be far more interesting and the people are much friendlier and it's a lot cheaper, lots more to see.

Some friends and I are planning on making a good 3 month long trip to Japan. We are considering backpacking to save on hotel fee's, but aren't ruling out the possibility. Are there any hostels in Japan? How much money should each person plan on bringing to support themselves for the whole trip?

i always bring 10 grand with me when i travel.. but im wealthy. So i would say bring 10 grand if you have it. But, if not, i think everything in japan is really expensive because its on an island.. and the can't grow anything on it so anything with vegetables is expensive. but not fish because they can just fish because they live on an island.
2 :
Where are you going in Japan? Im studying abroad there next year. Tokyo is like the 2nd most expensive city in he world. If your gonna stay there, maybe 4,000
3 :
10k wont be enough. Japan is very expensive, I lived there 3 years.
4 :
I would budget at least $120-200 USD a day for hotel, meals, transportation, shopping, etc. If you are familiar with Tokyo or spoke Japanese, then you could get away with $100 a day but you would be staying far from the center of the city and eating nothing but fast/junk food. Nothing is very cheap in Japan. You will spend at least $10 to $15 a day on train fare alone.

Where can you make the most money selling used manga in Japan?
Where can you make the most money selling used manga in Japan?
Which tend to pay more, small local shops or the big chains? I went to furuhon shijou and they were going to give me 50 yen tops for anything that wasn't really really new. I don't imagine Book Off would do much better than them. It wasn't no-name stuff, most of it is pretty popular but not brand new (stuff like Monster, jojo's bizzare adventure, kuromaruti high school). So what do I do with these manga that lots of people would pay 300yen a piece for? Can't I at least get 100 a piece somewhere? Any classified ad sites in Japanese? I would ask this on the japan yahoo answers but I can't remember the email address I used or password. Can someone helppppp? they seem to be worth alot, people spend 300-400 yen for a lot of them, its just a matter of finding someone who isnt trying to make a 2000% profit being the in between (like chain stores seem to)

I assume you can read Japanese. Take a look a this. http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1434334289 According to the best answer, first you go to Mandarake, where they buy whatever books they think they can sell at the best possible price. However, they never buy stuff that nobody is likely to buy. Then, go to Book-Off and ask how much they will pay for the remaining books. At this point, you don't sell the books. You only ask. After that, you visit several independent bookstores until you find the store that offers the best price. Alternatively, you could use Yahoo Auction or Amazon Marketplace.

You can get a used tuner car for about 10,000 to 20,000 yen. Some used cars are already mods, so depending on what you have on the car already, I think an additional 30,000 yen to trick it out is great.

Please don't suggest walking dogs or paper routes or anything like that as I have checked and there isn't any opportunities where I live. Does anyone have an ideas? I need around $1000 in 6 months.

You may not be able to have a regular job, but you may check with neighbors to see if they need someone to help with lawn work or doing odd jobs such as painting or cleaning out their garage or basement. Mowing lawns can pay very well. You could clip hedges and do other types of yard work. It is a good way to earn money.

The Red Cross can get the money where it is needed.

Offices need electricity, water, computers, Internet access, phones, phone service, printers, paper, toner--and people. All of that already had to be paid for, so when the earthquake hit, the agencies were ready. Without unrestricted donations, relief agencies cannot have any of these necessities.

You can't. There was a time when a very minute number of passengers could standby--as a pre-approved courier--on a few select and rare international flights for very low prices, but since 9-11, those days are gone.... Baggage allowances are so low, and excess baggage fees so high, that couriering your own goods seems like a difficult way to make some cash--unless you're importing something like rare feathers, for example. Keep in mind that if your travel is for work, and you actually perform work in another country, you might well be liable for tax on income earned there--further complicating the idea. Have you considered going with older people who might need some assistance while travelling? Just an idea.
3 :
I think that if you read the fine print in whatever agreement gives you standby flight privilege, you'll find serious limitations on how and for what purpose you can use that privilege. Additionally, there are zillions of other legal ramifications that you'd have to be aware of—being able to fly for free is in fact almost insignificant compared to these other considerations, if you want to do things legally.
4 :
I don't know if you're flying on an employee's privileges, but if you are... It's against the rules of pass travel to use standby flights for business purposes.

I was in St. Maarten recenly and they cost about $1 per pack. In Canada $9.50.

How can I make a realistic looking money tree for my husbands 30th birthday? Pictures would be great too.?
I need to make a money tree for my husbands 30th birthday. I saw one on ebay a while back and it gave me this idea but I didn't jump at bidding on it and now there are none on ebay. I live on a military base in japan so I can't go to a target or walmart or Michael's. I'm limmeted to basic craft supplies but can get some things from the art department here at the school. I would love pictures if you have any to follow the look. I will provide my email if you have pictures and steps to follow. Thank you SO much. This will be his first birthday home in over 5 years. He's been deployed the whole time and this one's a surprise!

One way would be to find a dead tree branch that has a lot of smaller branches on it. Clean it and stick it in a bucket of sand and cover the bucket with a tablecloth. Then fold your money lengthwise then into a v-shape so you can fold it onto the branches, securing with a rubber band or string. Then fan the money out. You can also add money flowers. http://www.google.com/search?q=origami+rose .

Find a small branch between 18 and 36 inches tall depending on how big you want your money tree. The branch should have many smaller limbs to hang dollar bills. Spray paint the branch any color you want before plastering into pot. White makes a nice contrast for green bills. Purchase a metal or ceramic pot. If the pot has a hole at the bottom cover the hole with tape. Mix a thick plaster mixture. Put plaster in the pot with branch sticking straight out. Let the pot sit over night. Conceal the hardened plaster with silk moss, grass or leaves. Use a hot glue gun to glue the moss to the plaster. Cover all the plaster around the branch so your pot looks like it has a tree growing in the green foliage. Begin adding money to the tree. Use any denomination of bills to attach to the tree. Attach the bills to the tree using paper clips or mini clothes pins. You can fold the bills decoratively or just let them hang. It's up to you. Here's a picture to give you an idea.

Find a small branch between 18 and 36 inches tall depending on how big you want your money tree. The branch should have many smaller limbs to hang dollar bills. Spray paint the branch any color you want before plastering into pot. White makes a nice contrast for green bills. Purchase a metal or ceramic pot. If the pot has a hole at the bottom cover the hole with tape. Mix a thick plaster mixture. Put plaster in the pot with branch sticking straight out. Let the pot sit over night. Conceal the hardened plaster with silk moss, grass or leaves. Use a hot glue gun to glue the moss to the plaster. Cover all the plaster around the branch so your pot looks like it has a tree growing in the green foliage. Begin adding money to the tree. Use any denomination of bills to attach to the tree. Attach the bills to the tree using paper clips or mini clothes pins. You can fold the bills decoratively or just let them hang. It's up to you. Here's a picture to give you an idea.

Yes, a job. That is the only way to do it. Get a legal working visa and then go for it. If you don't have a visa nor a job, then you are out of luck.

Seriously, you have to assume some risk when it comes to quick returns, especially if a job is not a possibility. You can try gambling on Keirin or Keiba. Place your money with the bike or rider that has the best chances to win. It has it's risks. I once places bets for a gambler and I placed my own money on the same games and made +$80 in one Sunday. To reduce your risk, follow the trends of the best odd on the horses.

I would like to live in japan when I'm older, is that possible?
I am planning to live in japan to be a manga artist is that possible? I know that japan is nothing like how it is in animes and stuff but do they Like foreigners?

You usually need working or student visa to live in Japan. For working visa, you have to get a job offer from a Japanese company. But you can't look for a job in Japan without a visa. So you need it before you enter Japan. For student visa, you have to be admitted to a Japanese college. You need to pay tuition and living cost for 4 years. It could be about $80,000. BTW, working as a manga artist would not give you a working visa because manga artist is not an employee of any company. You have to be employed by a Japanese company to get a working visa.

If you already have a degree in fine arts or graphical design or something, then send a resumé for a company that interests you and apply for a working visa. If you dont have any of that, study that in somewhere in japan and apply for a student visa.

You need a four year degree & a job offer first before you can move to Japan. Possible ? Anything is possible. But the chances are just about zero. There's just too many wannabe artists in the world.

You can work and live in Japan as millions of non-Japanese have and are doing. But while your chances of doing so as a manga artist does exists, it is a very very low.probability. Japan is no different than any other country - if you respect their ways, they will welcome and respect you. The thing about Japan and the Japanese is that it takes time to be an insider and sometimes it may not be possible at all. How you fare in the friendship-making or socializing department depends on what kind of person you are. If you are earnest, honest, and above all courteous, then it would be no more a problem then you face now at home. Your best means of making your dream come true is to get the best education possible - that means a college education with a degree in a field that the Japanese do not have enough people with the experience and knowledge. That includes, obvisouly, learning Japanese. Remember a job that can be filled by a Japanese will go to a Japanese. Another way is to work for a multi-nation company with a branch office in Japan. Depending on your qualifications, you will most likely startout at home and then get a transfer to the office in Japan. Obviously, you need to have the best qualifications because such an oversea posting is at dream job for many many people and you will be competing against them. As for making money, anyone can make money but that is not what makes your life worth living. It's how you live it. Money will be there if you work hard and don't waste it.

This type of question gets asked here at least once a day, so here’s Standard Answer #1: You're not going to be living in Japan unless you have a visa to do so. Here are the various visas you can get: http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/long/index.html There are two kinds of jobs available for foreigners in Japan, those jobs that Japanese people can't do, or won't do. English teaching fits into the can't do section, since they're not native English speakers. The won't do fits into the 3 K category: kiken, kitsui, kitanai. (3 D's in English: dangerous, difficult, dirty) Any job that a qualified Japanese can do, will go to the Japanese person first. That's just the way it is. To get a working visa you need the following: • Visa application • Passport • Photograph • Certificate of eligibility • Documents showing professional qualifications • Resume • Acceptance letter from Japanese employer • Annual report from Japanese employer • Application fees See the part where it says you need the acceptance letter from a Japanese company? That means you have to have the job already lined up BEFORE you move to Japan. Gaijinpot.com is a good place to start looking before you try to move https://jobs.gaijinpot.com/index/index/lang/en Also, foreign medical certification (doctor, nurse, lab tech, etc.) 99% of the time will not transfer. You will need to be trained at a Japanese school, and pass the Japanese national certification exam. Guess what? It’s all in Japanese. To get a student visa, you need the following • Visa application • Passport • Photograph • Certificate of eligibility • Documents certifying the purpose of the visit • A copy of a certificate of admission from the educational institution where the person concerned intends to study • Documents certifying that the person concerned can defray all expenses incurred during their stay in Japan (basically showing that you’ve got enough money on-hand to support yourself while you’re at school) • Also, keep in mind that you’ll need to pass at least Level 2 of the JLPT, as 99.8% of all post-secondary education in Japan is going to be taught in Japanese. To obtain permanent residency, you have to have lived and worked in Japan, consecutively, for at least 5 years. You have to have made a positive impact on Japan. You can not have a criminal record with the Japanese police, and you have to have paid all your taxes on time. http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/english/tetuduki/zairyuu/contribution.html http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/english/tetuduki/zairyuu/guide_residence.html If you fit all those descriptions, fill out this application http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/english/tetuduki/kanri/shyorui/05.html and get a copy of your tax records, family registry, and a note from your job, and take them all to the local Immigration office. They'll let you know something in around 6 months. To become a citizen of Japan, you need the following: • Application of residency • Proof that you've been living in Japan for more than five years • Fluency in Japanese • Proof of personal finances and skills necessary to support yourself You need to be fluent in Japanese, since there will be an in-person interview with a Ministry of Justice official. Plus, you will have to renounce whatever citizenship you may have. Japan only allows you to be a Japanese citizen, no dual nationalities.

To be honest, and alot of the others have commented on it, Japan isnt looking for manga artists. Japanese children can normally draw better when they are in Grade 3 of elementary school than most foreign manga artists can as educated manga artists. You have to remember that manga is a massive industry over here and there are thousands of Japanese manga artists trying to make it big over here as well. Japanese companies also prefer to employ Japanese people before foreigners as its alot easier for them. Im not trying to be depressing but the truth is if your not an English teacher over here or are high up in your company back home, you wont get a job doing anything else. I know thats not 100% correct but its pretty close to. If I was you I would focus on getting a job back home doing manga because frankly I think you will earn more money there, get qualified, work your way up up and then look at applying to a company over here. If you want to come to Japan to experience Japan, then do that but be prepared to be an English teacher and study your craft after work. If you move to a big city you'll be fine for friends. You wrote "what should I do to live in japan and actually make money?". Work in a snack bar. As anything else you get paid minimum wage and rent is real expensive. Go to college, get a few degrees get promoted alot in a graphic design company, work hard and you might just get it.

Why Do You Think You Are Qualified To Teach English in Japan?
Why Do You Think You Are Qualified To Teach English in Japan?
Many Americans come to Japan to "teach" English. I notice that many people are talking here how easy it is to teach English in Japan and make money just by speaking your native language. Do You Really Think You Are Qualified To "Teach" English? I am not talking about those licensed teachers hired by the government of Japan, official organizations and public high schools.

They're not qualified at all. But unqualified people work in jobs all the time. If Japan wants "qualified" teachers they should raise their standards and not hire the incompetent. Hiring one incompetent soul encourages three more to apply

Because the organization I work for said that I am. :) No really lol, to be honest I'm not sure I'm qualified, but I'm a bit closer than most people I know. I have an undergraduate degree in English and a Master's degree in Educational Psychology. That doesn't mean I was taught how to teach the way a person with a teaching degree would have been, but I did have to take quite a few classes on learning theory. I also took a series of classes specializing in teaching English as a second language because I was interested in working in bilingual education before I decided to move to Japan. As for teaching experience, I tutored writing in college and statistics while I was working on my Master's. I worked in two pre-schools, as well as a kindergarten after-school classroom. Unfortunately, the latter two don't help as much with the highschool kids I work with now. :P Even considering all that, I felt a bit overwhelmed when I arrived. The Japanese education system is a bit different, and my students are really unmotivated and low level, and that makes it difficult to keep the interested and learning anything. I do, however, try to apply what I've learned to the best of my ability, for instance providing learning in different forms, written, verbal, aural, etc. I try to constantly adapt and learn from my mistakes and try to provide the students with the best lessons I can. I've also been learning Japanese for three years, which comes in quite handy not only with helping the students, but also with getting around in an area where not many people speak English. Do I really think that makes me qualified? I don't know. I know it makes me more qualified than alot of people. I think the only way I would have felt really prepared would have been if I had been teaching ESL for years in America before I came, but even then this is such a different environment in all ways that I think I'd still have found myself feeling a little overwhelmed at first. I think the most important qualities in a teacher aren't necessarily the paper qualifications, but the ability to be interesting and to try hard and learn from their mistakes and be flexible. Well, that and a good grasp of the English language lol. :)

Hello, it's me again. Many Americans have got a huge ego being in Japan. Back home they are probably burger flippers but they come to Japan and all of a sudden they are TEACHERS!

But they are not to blame, it is the education system.

After pension, insurance, etc. JET ALTs make around 2500-2800 dollars a month right now (based upon current exchange rates) or around 250,000 yen. In addition JET ALTs get a bonus health insurance policy and all taxes (except for insurance and pension) are paid for you. If you are looking at normal ALTs not just JET, the salary can vary depending where you are or what company you are through. I have heard figures of 200,000 to 350,000 before taxes. JETs on average get no bonus while some private companies do give their ALTs bonuses. This is something to take into consideration and ask about. These year end bonuses can at times be a few months pay.

How to cash an international post office money order in Japan?
How to cash an international post office money order in Japan?
I've been reading that the post office has the best exchange rate for US dollar to Japanese Yen, but I don't have any idea how the whole process works. Do I make the money order to myself? Do I need a Japanese address? Do I cash the money order at the Japanese post office? If so, is there a post office at the Narita Airport? How many money orders can I purchase at a time?

3/4 of donated money to Haiti disaster relief did not make it there how can I be assured help to Japan will?
3/4 of donated money to Haiti disaster relief did not make it there how can I be assured help to Japan will?
I have no objection to giving to a good cause. How could someone help and it not be a poor gamble that it actually goes toward its intended cause.

you can't that is why so many people don't donate to relief funds....some a**hole is getting rich off the money.
2 :
If you give to the Red Cross it will get put towards buying supplies etc and will not even go anywhere near government hands.
3 :
Because if it doesn't the japanese have a comparatively sophisticated justice system and those responsible will be held accountable.
4 :
the japanese gov and their people are very resiliant and does not need our help in any way. dont waste your money. i am extremely proud of these people. i wish the usa could be more like them
5 :
the Red Cross are as corrupt as ANY other charitable organisation where LARGE volumes of cash just goes ' missing ' it happens everywhere in the world because human nature is basically shite and that's the bottom line...
6 :
With or without aid Japan will recover and be stronger than ever. The Japanese learn from disaster and will come up with safer architectural designs and better technology that will limit damages and save lives in preparation for future disasters. It is possible that the whole civilized world could benefit in the long run from their experience. Haiti is was and always will be a run down shitland. The earthquake was basically like putting dog turd in a blender. The majority of what the blacks have/had was built 200 years ago by the French. The blacks lived off of what was already built and stripped down the country for what ever cash was available. No different than any inner city in the U.S.. The blacks built nothing, repaired nothing and just destroyed what ever was left for them. Haiti's biggest natural disaster was not an earthquake but an infestation of black parasites. Black societies are completely useless and serve no benefit to mankind. I would rather flush my money down the toilet than donate to Haiti.

Today, you would like to give money to the Japan earthquake relief, and that is a good thing. If you do that, good on you. HOWEVER--if, next week, the home next to you burns down, the Red Cross CANNOT use your donation to help that family. Why? Because you specified that your donation had to go to Japan. Also--the earthquake happened on a Friday. The Red Cross and other relief organizations already existed on Thursday, right? So before the disaster hit, they had offices in place to get information and coordinate their responses. Relief agencies need stuff independent of any specific disaster. Agencies need vehicles to get to disasters. These are usually vans and trucks. These need gas, oil, tires, inspection, maintenance, and insurance--all of which costs money. Agency offices need electricity, water, computers, Internet access, phones, phone service, printers, paper, toner--and people. People need to be paid living wages and have healthcare insurance in full-time jobs. (You want that, right?) All of that already had to be paid for, so when disasters occur, the agencies are ready. Without unrestricted donations not tied to any event, relief agencies cannot have any of these necessities--and can't respond as effectively as necessary.
