Expensive.
Japan is a great country to travel to, if you got the money in the bank to do it. Also, does anybody else get the feeling that everyone there is mooching off their parents WAAAY too much? Seems like the Japanese have adopted the entitlement attitude to me.

But isn't said mooching done with the expectation of 親孝行 in the future?
My current opinion of Japan is that I'm glad I'm not there at the moment and that I live in a country with central heating.

Although, it starts with a 3 month trial period, and I don't know if I'd want to give up my more-or-less secure full-time job I have now for something that might not work out :/

Be thankful you don't live in Melbourne where everything costs a billion dollars. I'ma be eating out every meal and filling a suitcase with new clothes when I'm in Japan in 2 weeks simply because in Japan, I can actually afford to do that!
