got a question? i know its hyper competitive and expenses but the thing is i am worry about is, people like me that love japan,videogames,tech,syfy,com­ic,nerd culture and i notice there's a elitist behavior among us in the things i love and when i attend i gotta make cents bring my intelligene (A-game) but most of the time i am ostracize in those groups. so i want to know how do you handle elitist behavior from the japaneses & the Westerners in japan?

[HMGaga]

@RandomBoi100 Ya.. Most of the Japanese not really know how to speak English! I found it hard to communicate with people during my holiday trip in Japan!

You mentioned that you "went through a company" to tutor students-- what company in particular? Or were you just referring to the websites? Thx again for this wonderful video-- really filled in a lot of gaps for me!!!

[ch3micalsky]

hi eyobe..i have some question to ask u about universities in japan...u've been there for quite sometime aren't u so i guess u must have some knowledge about this thing...actually i was planning to go to japan with my own expenses for pursuing my education there..i want to know whether its possible or not?to tell u the truth i also have some universities in mind which is yokohama national university and etc..so what do you thing about this?...i really hope u can help me

[darthdeath92]

what about costs for things like internet? im sure when you are there its probably the cheapest manner of staying in touch with family and friends.

[Eyobe1]

@darthdeath92 i had free internet but it costs about 4000 yen, the set up price if your place doesnt have it can be pretty expensive though so watch out!!!

[TheBluehotdog]

hey thanks for your video its really helps in my info gathering :D i had some questions i wanted to ask if there is anyway i can email you or message you let me know

[Eyobe1]

@TheBluehotdog hi! you can always send me a message of youtube!

[ThaColumbusKid]

I have a question.....which is off topic but whats on tv in japan is there western movies or shows there?

[Eyobe1]

@ThaColumbusKid oh yeah alll the time you can find shows from america or movies with subtitles too,

[fckzzz]

30 bucks a week for food? That's roughly 11,000 yen/mo. You sure about this number? Most people on GaijinPot say that 40,000 yen/mo is the bare minimum to survive. (without taking into account going out, drinking, etc)

[Eyobe1]

@fckzzz This was on my experience but I can break down for you what I would buy for 1 week worth, and this does not take into account going out to eat with my friends, just stricty groceries

In my neighboorhood you can buy a pack of eggs for 110 yen on sundays and a loaf of bread with 10 slices for about 190 yen, so that was my breakfast everyday baisically or ceral which costed about 300 yen a box, and milk that was like 200 yen for a carton,

[Eyobe1]

@fckzzz then I would buy chicken breasts 2 for 2 or 3 dollars and I would buy about 4 for a week so that was about 1300 yen. Then I would buy some veg tofu,tea, and juice all for about 1200 yen as well, so that was basically breakfast and dinner for each week and I used to eat lunch in my school caf for about 400 yen a day or so so that was like 2000 yen a week ontop of that, Then of course sometimes I would eat out too and usually had one big bag of rice that was like 4000 that lasted monthly

[Eyobe1]

@Eyobe1 So yeah I could say it was more like 5000 or 6000 yen a month
