Yeah, I’ll admit, the pull quote was intended more for shock value…

The thing about Japan is that living cheap is easy and making lots of money is even easier. If you live in the countryside, don’t go out drinking or travel much, and refrain from retail therapy, you can make BANK that goes far in fascinating places like Cambodia where the cost of living is minimal and the quality of life is very high.

I was living in Osaka, Japan from 2007 to 2009; at first, the yen ate my dollar but then! At the end of 2008/beginning of 2009, my dollar suddenly jumped … but I waited a tad too long to send my money home for the full benefits of the weakened yen. Nowadays, it’s Ireland that’s burning through my money as I pay through graduate school and, though weaker, the euro is still kicking our tails … looking forward to making some euro of my own so it’s not quite so painful ….
