Apartment Hunting
No, not for me- I am coming home in August, don't worry.
But I was just curious about how much apartments in Tokyo cost. This was one of the cheapest I could find:
22.11 square meters
111,000 yen (US$900) per month
Reminds me of Bruce Willis' apartment in the 5th Element. Let's put it next to my current house, which I rent for 35,000 yen ($290US) per month:
I just realized that I will probably never be able to afford to live in Tokyo in my entire life.
Meh.

An acquaintance's (Aussie friend) apartment cost 13 man or so a month in Gotanda. It was swish and secure. And bigger than that one above.
He had a good job.
Another friend pays 8.5 man a month....in Saitama!
I like my 1 man a month rent...
I'll be in a 1LDK, but for only $100 US a month ... So I guess I can go without the garden :)
Dude, you have a garage? I would have killed for a garage in Obanazawa - not having to shovel 9 inches of snow off the car every morning...
I lived in a 1LDK in Tokyo for a while. It's actually not that bad, especially if you work long enough hours that you're never there. I paid a little less than that (10 man), and it was in Shitamachi.
