easy - make 13 a week for 156 weeks if 2000 only covers the plane flight, what are you going to do? sleep in alleys and eat out of trash cans? and plane tickets will probably be even more expensive in 3 yrs - what airlines have right NOW is totally irrelevant to what they will offer in 2013

If you stuff £56 a month into your mattress, you'll have £2,016 in three years. Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't have an income so that is your first problem. I would suggest that you offer your parents and your neighbours to clean out their attic/basement/garage for them in exchange for being allowed to sell some of their unwanted junk on eBay, Craigslist and at garage sales and flea markets. Of course, they have the option of choosing what to keep. Once you have some money, you can scavenge the Salvation Army resale shops for choice items to post on eBay and Craigslist at a profit.

does this make me a weeabo?

does this make me a weeabo?
I was told that a weeabo is someone who is obsessed with Japan and anime, acts like their favorite Anime character, uses Japanese speech in their everyday lives, and constantly whines about their native country because It's not like Japan I was just wonder if the things I like and do make me a weeabo: - I don't cosplay, nor do i act like an anime character - I do read manga, but i do not go out to the bookstore to buy every manga off the shelves [in my life, i have only read 1 manga series, which is angel Diary] - I am learning Japanese, but it's not because I want to speak like an anime character or because i want to be Japanese, I am learning it because i wanted to try out a new language and The Japanese language is interesting and not too complicated - In my life time, i have only watched Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Marmalade boy, and Ranma 1/2 [i don't watch them because they're from Japan, i watch them because they are interesting] - I think the Japanese culture is very interesting and I would like to visit Tokyo and Hiroshima [the only reason i want to visit japan is because from what friends have told me, Japan is a great place to visit, and they told me the food there is to die for] - The only Japanese word i use is "Ossan" because i dont like to say the word "dude", because dude sounds like something only a guy would say - I Love J-rock [The only Japanese thing I'm obsessed with] The only Bands I actually like from Japan is BUCK-TICK and Malice Mizer, I checked out other J-rock groups too, and a couple of their songs are my favorite, but Those 2 bands are the only 2 bands i really like from Japan. - I want to make my own band because BUCK-TICK inspired me and my friend to, and we thought it would be a good idea to travel to Japan with the band and meet BT in person. We aren't doing that just to make money off of Japan. we will be writing our songs in english and maybe, just to mix it up, put a bit of Japanese in there [the way t.A.T.u put Japanese in their song "Gomenasai"] - I love to draw Manga, but only as a hobby, not a job. I am making making my own comic book, the setting does take place in Japan, but the only reason i made it take place there is because that's where most of the Anime and manga series are coming from. I'm not making this comic book just so that i can go pro and make my own anime, i only do it for fun. - I am antisocial, but i don't devote every second of my life to Reading/watching manga/ anime. As a matter of fact, the only times i watch Manga/ anime are when i have free time, or when i want to find something fun to do or just when i want to watch something interesting - i don't dress like a "kawaii"japanese girl i dress like every girl does here in America. well, i dress a bit gothic, but that has nothing to do with the question - i write the Japanese version of my name "Alison" on all my things because in the case that something gets stolen, i can point out "You don't even know what that represents" and because i dont like my name, Alison sounds a bit average, i always wanted the name "Sophie" or "Charlotte" (too off topic!) overall, i do not use the Japanese version because i want to be japanese or have a japanese name - When i type messages to my friends, i use these emoticons: "^.^" "-_-" "XD xD" "Y.Y" "T^T" because i like them, they have nothing to do with me liking anime, i don't really like using ":)" ">:(" ":'(" or ":D". I use them sometimes, well, i use ":D" and ">:[" most of the time - I think Japan is cool, but i will always Love The USA - i spend alot of time on the comp, but not for watching Anime. Most of the time for FB and Yahoo Do these make me a weeabo? even tho I'm not obsessed with anime? [I do love J-rock tho] P.S.- Kurutta Taiyou is an Album by BUCK-TICK

Weaboo: is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games. I personally do not think you are a weaboo. A weaboo is someone like me, who is obsessed with anime, says things like Kawaii, Baka, and other japanese in conversations. I also cosplay, so I do consider myself a weaboo. Also, you don't really seem obsessed with anime or manga, even if you do draw that style. Learning Japanese doesn't mean your a weaboo, unless you learn it to watch animes in japanese.

How do small countries make money?

How do small countries make money?
Hi, I was just curious--how do small states/countries generate revenue with their limited natural resources and often high population? For example, I would imagine Hawaii relies heavily on tourism, but Hawaii is a state, which has a sovereign entity as a factor. And Japan, a densly populated country, but exports greatly in technology, and the same goes for Taiwan. So it appears that Tourism helps, as it brings money in from foreign countries, and exports of technology is good as well, as it probably requires less resource (or costs of resource vs revenue) than other productions. That said.. it's just self observation, but I'm really curious. What thoughts do you guys have on this? What are some potential revenues for a small, highly-populated country?

There aren't any really, that's why they are so poor and why the major countries, particularly the U.S, enact Hegemony on the small countries. I guess you could say that's a part of your answer. The United States using Hegemony on a smaller poorer country, in exchange for some minute cash flow. Mercenary Services? Small favors? Apart from that, these smaller countries usually tarry in the Agricultural Market. Not because they have a choice, Hegemony comes back here again (First World Countries hold them at that level of progress for many reasons, less competitive markets being one and the fact they can buy cheap food being another.) Buying Agricultural Products can be used to enhance the Supply Market of the First World Countries and can also be used as a power to be reckoned with in terms of Dumping the products in another Market, thus constituting a massive Market Breakdown which could spiral a country into a recession and cause a great many social problems.

The same as for large countries: they make and sell goods and services. Singapore is an extreme example: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/SN.html Very high per capita income (higher than the U.S.), https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/SN.html very small population (about 4.6 million), and very high population density (17,000 people per sq. mile) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population_density South Korea and the the Netherlands are other countries with high population densities (1,260 and 1,020 people/mi^s respectively) and reasonably high per capita GDPs ($26K and $40.3K respectively) For small countries with smaller population densities that are doing well, consider: Norway, Ireland, and Switzerland. In any country, of any size, you can't be well off without high productivity. You seem to dismiss this as technology, but that isn't all it is. It involves cultural aspects such as a strong work ethic, a low level of corruption, political stability, a well-educated work force, etc. If you have those resources, then small size doesn't hurt. If you don't then large size doesn't help. Russia, for example, has incredible resources. But its per capita GDP is not all the high and would be much lower if it weren't for its oil and natural gas sales. It all goes back to comparative advantage as opposed to absolute advantage. http://internationalecon.com/Trade/Tch40/T40-0.php
