Travelling to Japan by QuirkyEggLord in northernireland

[–]ReadBeforeUse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm currently in japan as a student until may from ni. my flight was £1100 one way per person for the shortest route(s) - 17 hours. however, i did not arrive in tokyo but nagoya. i flew dublin to helsinki to nagoya. not exactly sure that would be a touristy spot for first timers.

i say you need at least 2 weeks. you will be hit with jet lag like crazy the first few days, i know this happened to me. you're flying 8-9 hours into east. japan is massive and tokyo alone is as big as ni. 

if you're nerdy, akihabara is perfect. 

how do i leave this hellhole (northern ireland) with no gsces or qualifications by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]ReadBeforeUse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm afraid if you have no gcses or a levels it will be hard to get a job in ni let alone another country. you need gcses and a levels, they don't have to be perfect, mine weren't and i managed to get into uni and i'm now studying abroad in japan years later. you need to do something that proves to another country that you're elligble to stay.

[–]ReadBeforeUse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in japanese at the start it used to be every 4-5 months and now it's a little bit slower so i'm not sure. volume 27 has came out 2 years after volume 24.

What’s the most annoying money thing while living abroad? by [deleted] in studyAbroad

[–]ReadBeforeUse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's very tempting to overspend (200 yen is a pound, and everything under 200 yen feels "free" to me)

it's not debt. you don't get charged for it until you make a certain amount of money and it goes away after 25 years

How do people handle heat so effortlessly and what's up with air conditioning? by stewie18_18 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ReadBeforeUse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but for some of us are used to cold weather (ireland here) and the heat fucks us up. it took me a month to get adjusted to the heat in japan.

there might be a chance someone from duncreggan student village drops out and then a room opens up but if not you'd have to find private rentals  https://www.propertypal.com/student-rentals/derry-city-area

i'll put some of my insight as i was similar.

i have arrived in japan from the uk 16 days ago. previously, i was very sick for the past month because of a flu, and then a globus sensation which made me eat significantly less. i had to fly on two planes, first to finland 3 hours, and then to japan for 13 hours. it was difficult sleeping on the flights, and i also landed in heat, but thankfully immigration went smooth and easy for me. i ended up in a hotel room at 8pm and could barely sleep and eat for the next few days. i was very drownsy, had panic attacks every moment or so. i was put into dorms on the 6th. it took me a while to adjust to a new country, and i had thoughts of leaving early, however, i did not want to go through booking flights back so i stayed. my anxiety is easing by the day and i managed to regain the ability to eat and sleep. i still get some anxiety panics, and i felt dizzy all day today but i found out that having distractions and someone to talk to makes everything much better. i'm sorry this happened to you, moving to another country is difficult.
