    I almost choked at the 650 you mentioned for the language school. I thought that was a monthly amount until you said it was the up front cost for the year. Phew.

      $650 is actually the pro-rated monthly amount. Most language schools in Japan cost about $7000-$8000 a year.

    For the gifts, I was expecting you to mention the customary omiyagi which seems like it would be an expensive part of one's budget. Did you not feel pressured to gift your Japanese friends/coworkers/teacher/classmates/etc?

      There were some omiyage in there but I found that it wasn’t too expensive. The more expensive items were for friends and family back in the US.

    Are those expenses for a single person? (Groceries, restaurants) Cuz I’m going to ISI next year and im planning my budget! Great explanation!

      Yes. Those expenses were just for me. Again though are a lot of ways to save money. Living in a share house is a good way to do that as you don’t really need to buy any appliances for furniture. So you’re start costs are very low. And Sharehouse rent tends be a lot cheaper than a regular apartment.
