It usually depends on the program, not the country. That said, the price of living is highest in Japan, and that's how they come up with your salary. I had a friend who made loads there in just a couple years.
2 :
My experience is that you are provided a place to live and a low salary. This was in China.
3 :
europe...cuz the euro has more monetary value than the american currency.. try spain...
4 :
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.
5 :
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?
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. .
7 :
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.
8 :
5000 dollars

LOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol its not so much about it being expensive (depends on where you live) but there will be soooooooooooo much stuff you will want!!! i promise you if you had a million on you - you'd spend it easily there!!! have a good trip!

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)

Used manga books are not worth so much in Japan. You just go to a lot of used manga shops and there may be some who will pay you as much as you want.

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.

New? I would say 20k U.S. just for the stripped car. Then 30K U.S. in upgrades. Have fun saving 50,000 U.S. for a car you saw in a movie.
2 :
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.

How can a 13 year old make money?
Hi, I am a 13 year old girl and I need to save over $1500 for a school trip to Japan. By the time we are going, I will have around $400. I live in Australia and can't legally get a job. 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. Thanks

A girl in our neighborhood needed money for so she worked as a handyman. She would do odd jobs around the houses of other neighbors. She asked one man if he had any work she could do for him. He said he needed his porch painted and he would pay her $ 150.00. The paint and everything she needed was in the garage. She agreed. His wife asked him what was going on and he told her. His wife said the porch was a wrap around and should be $ 400. He said they had already made an agreement. A couple of hours later, the girl came to the back door and told him that she was finished and put the left over paint and brushes in the garage. The man paid her the $ 150. As she was leaving, she said, "You don't have a porch." The man said, "Excuse me?" The girl replied, "You don't have a porch, you have a Mercedes."

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.

Babysit. 2 or 3x a week after school might be enough as long as it's a regular job.

I know that they sell allot of things and have allot of business over sees. In places like Japan. But that cant be all of it. Do they have a larger fan base or do thay make the same amount of money and are just more willing to spend more
