Haha... if they accept Intl students; then it's safe to say that they'll understand english.
You wouldn't want to be asking questions in Japanese and getting a whole load of replies back in Japanese... then it'll be more confusing.

wahhhhh! cool Sapporo tuuu!

Hahaha...Yea...My doubts are all gone ... Thanks to them . Accomodation and Cost of living in Tokyo is high ... But how high ? My friend said that is not that scary ... What do you think ?

It depends.
If you can find cheap ones, then its good

one thing I find hard about Japan is their currency ... 100 yen = Rm3.80 ( Roughly )

Then those stuffs like soo pricey...End up converting below expectation ... If you get what I mean ... Ha ... roughly 10k yen is enuff for a month ?

Nope, 10k yen per month is not enough

Then how much is enough ? Roughly la ... Just an estimate ... Gotta tell my dad about my new plan already . Ehehe

One easy way of looking at Japanese yen is to treat it as if 100 JPY = RM1 (in terms of expenditure).

Here's a few examples :-
McD meal sets = average 600-800 JPY (RM6-8 bucks - which is close to prices in Malaysia although I think it's more of RM8-10 buck / meal now).
Simple meal in Japanese restaurant = average 800-1000 JPY (RM8-10).
Tokyu Bus ticket = average 210 JPY (RM2.10).
JR Yamanote train tix = average 150 JPY (RM1.50)

Thus using this scale; you can plan your estimated expenditure (for food and transports) as per your cost of living back in Malaysia in total then convert it to MYR. So, your original 10,000 JPY / month only equals to roughly RM100 which is definitely not enough.

Here's a previous post from clemong_888 which might be useful - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=21712910

Oh...I get it ... Clemong's calculation is JPY 100,000 per month ... Rm1k per month ?


I think if we calculate it up ... The living expenses between Tokyo and KL ... Roughly the same . High cost ...

Perhaps Zimbabwe should be cheaper.

Definitely less than 100k Yen

Yeap ... you get the idea now. I think as a student; RM1k/month is good enough to live comfortably don't you think?

Anyway, that's the usual scale that I will tell ppl if they're planning trips to Tokyo. It's a simple method to work out the cost estimates without trying to figure out the exchange rates first.

Hmm ... Rm1k per month ... 100,000JPY = RM 3800


3 thousand per month ... Kinda costly ... But not neccesary everyone is 3 thousand right ?

Well, that's cause Japanese yen has gone up quite a lot in the past 2 months. Also, 100k yen/month is not a lot at all. It's enough to get by but if you're in Tokyo; you'll be looking at a slightly higher expenditure as accommodation as well as entertainment cost will definitely go up.
