since everything in Japan is so expensive, does it mean the people are making more money than we do in America

I don't think so. In Japan especially Tokyo , social culture is backward only.
2 :
Yes, on the average, Japanese are paid very well compared to the US wages. Most if not all Japanese are paid a living wage, which means it's enough to survive well and not have to work two jobs to make ends meet.
3 :
yes and no i know some job in here is cheaper than japan. almost 2/3~half!! (ex. macdonald) nurses are cheaper than the us. technical nurses are receive very good pay as doctor in the us. but not japan.
4 :
Like in the US, it all depends on the region itself. In Tokyo, yes, people are paid moderately well but because living expenses are really high. The Japanese are also so busy with work that they have little time for shopping or partying, thus they're able to save a bit more. My boyfriend lives in the Shiga region and is paid about the same as a Texas public school teacher. He's a part-time instructor at 3 different universities and teaches freshmen for the most part. It's a lot less than what Tokyo instructors make, but then again, the Shiga prefecture is significanly less expensive than Tokyo or Osaka or even Kyoto.
5 :
Not really, It simply means Japanese are poorer than Americans. Most Japanese I know, has little or no savings. Not that they do not want to save up but there's simply nothing left to save. Oh, and most of them are in debt. In response to delita_hyral..., a survey conducted about 2 yrs ago revealed that the number of Tokyo dwellers who have 0yen saving is on the rise.
6 :
Japanese and money. Its a long story. yes they sometimes get paid more, but they spend more. They buy a new car every few years, constantly buy new clothes. Most have little savings (althought he wife will usually have a stash) When their kids go to University, they get out a loan, or use their life savings. Not everything in Japan is expencive, but you have to be smart on how you spend your money. Most Japanese youth are not frugal with their money. They do not know what its like to be poor. On their otherhand their grandmothers will have a whopping load of cash under her bed because she saves every yen.

You probably wouldn't have to stay with anyone if you lived in Tokyo. 3000 dollars though wouldn't last you a long time there. You could try going through the JET program and be an English teacher. I would think that would give you an easy start. Though you're not certain to land a spot in wherever you want to go. Either way, most foreigners who speak English get jobs as English teachers or translators in Japan. Good luck.
2 :
Becoming a translator would mean you speak BOTH Japanese and English fluently. 3,000 US won't last you forever, also you need a proper visa. You can't get Permanent Residency without first living in Japan on some other proper visa for a few years. Easy, learn Japanese, makes living easier. Yes you can get by without knowing Japanese, but its just getting by. Btw if you want a work visa and are America, you need a bachelors university degree.
3 :
You can't live in Japan without visa no matter how much money you have. If you come to Japan without visa, it means you are visiting Japan, not living. And you have to leave within 90 days if you are an American. If you want to get working visa, you have to find a job before you enter Japan. You are not allowed to look for a job if you are in Japan as a visitor.
4 :
I'm a gaijin (part Japanese and a foreigner) and live in Tokyo, but I can speak Japanese fluently. The sad truth is that you probably won't last long on 3000 dollars. We are in a depression right now, and things are expensive. It's true many people here in the city know some English, but in the Japanese society people tend to stay away from foreigners - it's just so ingrained into society. Learn Japanese, save your money, and THEN perhaps try to teach English or translate here if that's what you want to do. Also, you need proper identification for permanent housing, which is hard to come by for foreigners. I'm on an exchange program here and teach Arabic to fellow students.
5 :
Simple, you can't.You can stay only 90 days on a visitor visa, and it can only be renewed once a year. Most Americans teach English. You need a four year degree to do this. You need a work visa,and to get the work visa you need a solid job offer. Japan does not allow people to just move there and stay. They have a very closed immigration policy. Japan is currently going through a major recession right now. Unless you have a special skill a Japanese doesn't have, chances of work are near zero.Sorry, but that's how it is....
6 :
You can't survive in Japan because you don't know what's going on there now. Without certain visa prior to coming to Japan, you can't work there legally. Nerima in Tokyo is just a part of Tokyo.
7 :
You could live with a Japanese speaker who kick you out when your money ran out. You could get a job as an English teacher, if you have a degree from a four-year university. Nerima is part of Tokyo- in the west suburbs. You would have to eat at restaurants that have an English menu and at traditional restaurants, you could jump around and gesture toward the food models.
8 :
With $3,000 they might let you stay 2 months. You need to prove you can support yourself and you need the right visa. Try here: http://www.thejapanchannel.com/Japan-Forum/index.html

How do you make money trading currencies? Please explain as if to a first grader....?
How do you make money trading currencies? Please explain as if to a first grader....?
I feel like I'm losing money everyday keeping my savings in USD. I live abroad but kept my money in USD because I just kinda figured it was safer, but boy I should've switched it to RMB (Chinese yuan) a long time ago. Now I'm moving to Japan in a few days and wonder if it would be better to take out all that money now (in China) and then switch it from RMB to yen, or if I should wait til I get to Japan and just switch USD-YEN. What's the best plan of action? I heard the dollar just fell a whole bunch against the yen, so thats why im asking. I don't really understand the currencies market...
