okay so i put the cash i have left in japan in front of me and stared at it and i think i will be okay so long as sending my suitcases does not cost MORE than ¥12,000. i have to put ¥10,000 back in my bank account for fucking docomo, i need another ¥10,000 to pay for trains to the goddamn airport because transportation in japan is not anywhere near as cheap as the internet would lead you to believe, then the ¥12,000 for having the suitcases taken to my airbnb and i'll have ¥5,000 left to. eat at all until i leave the country. and when i check my second bag i will simply have to use my american debit card bc thats All i have here 👍

#again. i hate altia. i cannot believe that 9 months of work netted me 0 dollars and 0 cents in savings and i didnt even GO anywhere.#i literally have spent the last 9 months in okayama prefecture and osaka. osaka for a TOTAL of like 40 hours around flights.#yeah i went to korea twice but MY BOYFRIEND paid for those flights. you know what i paid for? japanese trains to the aiport.#which cost as much as the flights.#i hate altia. shit ass wage for real. i dont even know how the little fresh out of collegers do it.#like i have no money. i dont spend on stuff. i didnt buy my niche fashion or whatever. i LEFT my expensive niche fashion. i solf #*sold items from my expensive niche fashion. i have barely survived.#i dont know how Anyone does it i genuinely think i must be stupid i must be ass with money or something #my '''¥240 000''' paycheck was at ¥140 000 or less by the time it hit my bank account after altia was done skimming it for themselves #and then paying for gas in THEIR car to go to my job i do FOR THEM and CRAZY EXPENSIVE utilities in the apartment THEY PUT ME IN #would always have me down to like ¥80 000 in a good month to like eat and enjoy myself with?#but i also did have to send money home because japanese bank accounts are miserable and you cant use them for anything #so i'm eating off of ¥1 000 per day for breakfast and my homemade bento lunches AND dinner #and then when i was lucky i would go to okayama city and have one nice meal with my friends on the weekend #but going to the city costs fucking ¥2 000 so is it worth it?#i dont think this is a good job and genuinely i dont even think the fresh graduates should be doing it #if you want to delay your future this is the job for you. altia misleads you on their website and gives you half-truths in interviews.#dont work there.#t
