What are some affordable places to live in Japan?
I make good money, but I just need to know where to live. I like cool weathered places, nothing REALLY hot. So, any suggestions? Dont say something like, "Nowhere" or "on the streets" An good quality apartment. Nothing big nor fancy. Just decent

Make good money? Doing what? Do you speak Japanese? Do you have a working visa? Are you ready to renounce your current citizenship?
2 :
that's a rather big question and rather broad since you could practically say anywhere. And everyplace gets quite hot and humid in summer except Hokkaido so perhaps that might be a good area to look. as for apartments, many of them you have to pay what's known as key money which is basically a gift to the landlord - usually one month's rent. So be aware of this and try to find ones that don't have this practice.

Karuizawa is a famous summer resort. It was made by the British, much western culture is there. Most of inhabitants are rich, and can speak English.
4 :
small villages and farms areas are cheap and the weather is always ok
5 :
Hokkaido's not bad. There's more space, bigger apartments, fewer people, less demand, lower prices. Cold though.

Yoyogi Park :-D . But seriously, nowhere if you don't have a visa. And if you don't speak Japanese well, act polite, and find a non-racist realator (they are the most racist people in Japan, probably because they've had plenty of other idiot foreigners thinking they could just pay the rent and put up an American flag and say To each his own), you are going to get ripped off in all kinds of ways. If you somehow manage to handle all this, its basically just the further away from the city and the further away from a station the cheaper. There are nice and crappy places everywhere but nice or crappy are both much cheaper in the country side or if your willing to walk 40 minutes to the station. Most foreigners in Japan have to resort to living in guest houses which are kind of like a combination of a hotel, a hospital and a prison for at least their first few months until they figure out how things work.

My new Girlfriend is in USA and jobless, wants to make money by doing Live Cam thing, what should i do?
My new Girlfriend is in USA and jobless, wants to make money by doing Live Cam thing, what should i do?
She's Japanese studying english in the USA. She doesn't speak English well,, she's just a beginner. She told me she wants a job and said somthing about "Do you know Live cams?" .."But i just do chat.." meaning she won't do video. Oh but i dont' trust her though. Maybe she's a nympho girl ?? But when we do voice chat it's always nice friendly chat. I help her with english and we just have normal conversations in English and Japanese. She doesn't look like she's sex crazed or something. Could she really be worse than i she makes me think? Perhaps she has even done this kind of Virtual Sex before. I actually met her before when she used to be in Japan 1 year ago. She doesn't know that because it's been long time ago and she doesn't know that in the Chat program we use , we can View History..meaning we can see the chat's we've had. Well, that time in 2008, she had a different screen name and when she met me she asked something like "What's your cock size?" This has me thinking that she did sex voice chats with people since long time ago. I'm kind of disappointed because we just met 2 weeks ago and she seeems really nice and never talks about any sex so she had me thinking she was a nice girl. But i'm starting to worry. What should i do? Is it totally ok for her to do Live cams..or should i tell her that if she's going to do that, i don't want to ever meet her again. By the way, we have a long distance relationship. We haven't met face to face but we will meet in 3 months. She's in the USA close to my city but she's just an international student doing homestay so she can't travel till the semester ends. What to do? I'm 29 she's 24. Sherry i'm not white and i'm poor. I told her this already and she still said it's ok

repost this with a more dramatic name and you will get more answers. "My Japanese girlfriend wants to do Live Cam for money...isn't that prostitution? Please help!" or something. But I'll answer here...hmmm...I think she does do the video thing because Japanese are known for being reallly wild, but we stereotype asians as being polite, shy, and quiet...which is far from the truth! The girls act sweet because they have the "lolita" culture...but that culture there also has high school girls going on dates with old men for money and much more... I think you should speak with her about this, but she might still not be open about it since you two have only been seeing each other for a couple weeks. Also...I studied abroad and u can always visit her if she lives so close plus if she is here for the semester only, then she will go back to japan...not stay here....or at least not for long... Its a well-known fact that white guys (im assuming u r) are a status symbol for asian women and even tho she might like u...she is trying to uphold that stereotype of the good, sweet, shy asian girl although she needs money...but since she is doing homestay...i bet the money is just for clothes and makeup and stuff since the family is supposed to provide free shelter and food and stuff. Yea...^^ How about YOU send her some money (just a little)...if u trust her.

How much would an English as a Foreign Language teach make abroad (please give a range depending on country)?
How much would an English as a Foreign Language teach make abroad (please give a range depending on country)?
I know that it's different everywhere. I'm not really sure where I'd like to teach. I think I could be happy in Japan, maybe China, maybe Europe. I might like other places, too, I just haven't looked into those places as in depth. The amount of money I could make as compared to living expenses might help me decide.

A quick and easy way to find out the answer to this question is to look in the Chronicle of Higher Education, which is available in most university libraries. It has job listings in ESL from many countries overseas, with salary ranges stated. You might also contact the international TESOL organization in Washington, DC (They have a website). They will be likely to have a lot of information on this topic as well.
2 :
How about Russia. I know this girl is teaching overseas. First, Japan, now in Russia for two years teaching English.She loves her life also she save enough money to retire.
3 :
It's pretty well impossible to answer this question accurately since there are so many variables. Firstly, what qualifications do you have? A degree or a degree plus TEFL certificate? Secondly, where do you want to teach? In a village, in a city? Where would you be happy? Thirdly, do you have experience? How many years? I would personally approach this from a different angle and look at what you can offer and then see where you would like to go. Do you want to live in a hot country? A cold country? I think you'll find that wherever you end up the money you earn (certainly in a basic teaching job) will be enough to live on reasonably well - depending on the kind of lifestyle you have of course - and be above the local wage. You'll have enough to rent a small apartment, get out a couple of times a week and save something for the holidays. If you start to take on private lessons then this obviously goes up. But the bottom line is that people don't generally get into teaching English for the money. It's not about that. Other jobs pay better but English teaching lets you see new parts of the world and travel. By the way, if you don't have a passport from a European country don't bother with Europe as visa issues will mean you don't get work.
