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

Is the Middle East still a good place to go and teach english to make decent money?
Is the Middle East still a good place to go and teach english to make decent money?
I'm looking into Dubai, Japan or Korea, as I want to experience a new culture and save to travel around at the same time, but I had heard that the middle east has been just as badly hit by the recession recently and alot of ex-pats are returning. Anyone have direct experience? Many thanks

I think you have better chances in China than those places that you've mentioned particularly in the smaller cities. I mean instead of Shanghai go to Nan Jing (don't know if i typed it correctly or not) Shanghai is too big and already has far too many English tearchers. Or try Dongguan.
2 :
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.
