Hiya, guys! I just joined this forum to acquire some info on going to Japan - for a year! I'd really like to do some combination of learning the language and doing some work. I don't have an education but I'd like to do some "crap work" just to get some pocket money; I would gather up funds before going there.
I'd also like to go to some rural town or not some place that is so big. Of course, as I've heard, it's extremely difficult to get by over there without knowing the language that well but I know a little Japanese and would like to study a bit more of it before going.
I would really just like to go away from Finland for a year and I could go almost anywhere like the States or Israel but Japan is just such a foreign place to me and I've been interested in it since I was a little kid that I would really like to "experience" the culture in order to learn something different. I want to get away where I can't find anybody I know!
Is my proposal at all feasible? Would I get a "working visa" just to do some crap jobs...? Where I come from there are no "holiday working visa" which I found out about.
Or maybe I should try for student visa but a student isn't allowed to work? What are the work hours like? 11-hour days?!
Thanks in advance.
edit: Oh yeah, this is not an April fools joke!
