I would so love to visit japan, love their culture and their view on life generally. But what i have heard about costs is that it's expensive as hell there. Going to a decent hotel is out of the question I think.

I saw on discovery one time how newly educated japanese business men lived in sort of cages that they rented to get everything settled. CAGES i say!

I guess they will have to hit success pretty fast so they can move to a decent living.

Anyway everything related to living in japan is very expensive, that what i have heard and seen.
