@@carollynt - Being an English teacher does not mean having to be so uptight that you cannot use very common colloquialisms when having a casual conversation on the street. And “where you’re at”( in life, etc.) is an extremely common phrase in English. Of course, occasionally when you do this you will be called out on it by some uptight idiot who has a stick shoved so far up his @ss that he can’t even bend over.

As a Japanese person, I can attest to the price of the bento (lunch box) I saw today at the ORIGIN shop, which is $1.94. Additionally, Japan has a national health insurance system, so going to the hospital even once costs only $10. Even the well-known acetaminophen pain reliever costs just $3 for a bottle of 20 tablets. In Japan, highly skilled foreigners also receive tax benefits.

@@Dave-zd2nl I'm not entirely sure about the details, but Japan does have a program called the Highly Skilled Foreign Professionals system, which offers tax incentives and expanded visa options. From what I know, there's an organization called JETRO that acts as a mediator between Japanese and foreign companies. JETRO holds significant influence in Japan and is a valuable resource for foreign businesses coming to Japan, as well as Japanese companies going abroad. I believe they also recruit highly skilled foreign professionals and offer guides on how to take advantage of this system. You might want to check out their "OFP List" for more information.

Japan is sooo much cheaper then most European countries and the US. I went last month to Tokio, Osaka and Kyoto and everywhere you can have a good meal for 600-800 yen which is about 4-5 US dollar. It’s ridiculous. Even if you want to eat high quality food in a restaurant like some Kobe beef, drink an alcoholic and an non alcoholic drink you can get away with 8.000 yen for two persons! That’s about 50 US dollars or 50 Euros. I’m from Germany and you would pay like 50 for two normal pizzas, two glasses of wine and a bottle of water in an restaurant, if not more.
