Hidey-ho ATOTers! As the title says, I'm moving to Japan and I'd like to get advice from anyone who's ever moved to a foreign country on their own before (especially if it's Japan!). Any personal advice on customs, culture shock, the Japanese language (spoken and written), cost of living, or anything else you can think of. I've read a few online guides on moving to Japan, but they weren't as helpful as I had hoped for.
I'm not sure how much money I'll be going over there with but I will be paying off all my credit card debts before I leave and I will have several thousand dollars to live off of. I will be finding a job when I move over there (either as a translator or a voice actor hopefully) so I don't need to live off the money I'll be bringing alone for too long. Any suggestions on where to live that won't eat a hole in my wallet within the first month or two? I'd prefer to live somewhere near Tokyo, if not in the city itself. I'm not opposed to other cities like Osaka or Yokohama but would simply prefer Tokyo if it's feasible. I will be traveling all over the country after I settle down there and get adjusted to things so it's not too terribly important that I live exactly where I want to, since it's such a small country and I'm going to try to see it all anyway.
Oh, and if anyone wants to start a "Get Flyermax the Fsck Out of Our Country" Fund I wouldn't be opposed to that I'm sure there are plenty of you who would just love to see me disappear forever all that much sooner
Anyway, thanks in advance!
