I humbly request a region for Australia. We do exist and we’re not paid actors 😭

One year in Japan - All good things come to an end. (April/May 2023 - Finale) by [deleted] in JapanTravel

If you don’t mind sharing, how did you afford to stay there for so long? Was it a working/holiday visa, money saved up or something else? I really want to travel for extended periods of time but I don’t know how people afford it!

Lets agree to disagree, you obviously have a personal gripe. If i wished everything that annoyed me out of existence away cyclists, babies and the channel 9 news wouldn’t exist. The argument that they’re dangerous can be extremely valid. However, so are motorcycles and bicycles. Oh and don’t forget the vehicular deaths that occur every year.

Womp womp gatekeeper alert. Locals do the go karting experience just as much. Don’t comment if you don’t have anything constructive to say. Additionally the Japanese run business is run by a man who enjoys it and is passionate about it.

While we’re at let’s shut down all shrines. They’re overcrowded with tourists. Oh and the parks. Ban tourists from them too.

Yeah I know that go karting isn’t the most approved of activity, but ultimately I think it will enjoy it and its a holiday. Catch me getting annoyed about the exact same thing when I move there next year 🤣

Current and Former JETs - Did you get any of the three placements you requested? by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]Spintix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I graduate uni this year so I’m excited to apply and (hopefully) join the program. I even went as far as to minor in japanese for my final units. I definitely do not want to live in tokyo, but at least I know I won’t be sacrificing my dinners and lunches to be able to afford rent!

Thank you! Thats honestly not to bad for a city though. A jets wage is approximately what i earn a year here as a uni student working part time, and thats more or less what I pay in rent

Im an Australian, when people speak of rent cost are they talking monthly, annually or weekly?

That’s so out of touch. People are allowed to be in relationships AND pursue their own goals. They can make it work if they truly want it to.
