| You'll save US$1000 a month easy on that and still have money left over plus it's in Fukuoka one of the best cities in Japan. Can't lose there Ava. Take it. |

Does the contract say when they will pay your one-way airfare? That is, will you get paid upon arrival, or after a year's stay?
Salary is far above normal for any eikaiwa. Is that who you are going to work for, or is it a high school or college?
Hmm, they pay you 30,000 for housing? Good deal ! (Again, I suspect this is not an eikaiwa.)
Key money payment. Is this what they pay, or you pay?
Travel allowance seems a bit low. Don't know how much you need for Fukuoka, though. Here in Sapporo, I pay about 15,000/month.
They pay for shipping your stuff to Japan? Is that what you mean?
Since we can't see the other clauses in the contract, it's hard to make a judgment on it. Overall, from only this information, it looks ok. |

Thanks David W and Glenski for your comments. Glad to know there is a potential for savings with this contract. Have either of you been to Fukuoka? If so, what was your impression of the place?
Hmmm. I guess I have to do some more research to see if I want to go there. Hong Kong was fun for a year but the pollution and go-go-go lifestyle is getting to me. I'm from Vancouver, Canada and am used to a more clean, pretty, natural and laid-back kind of city. |
Yeah I've been to Fukuoka a number of times and it's my favourite city in Japan. Newsweek Asia voted it the number one city in Asia for 2 years running (1999-2000 I think). It's fairly international, though nothing like Hong Kong. I haven't been to Vancouver but I think it's fair to say that Fukuoka won't be as clean, natural, pretty or laid back as Vancouver. You should like it almost everyone in Japan likes Fukuoka. |
