Heading to Canada with my gf for a month. She wants to buy maybe 10-15 silver maple coins while we are there. What is the best way to go about this when going through an airport? She is only going to have a carry-on. I've flown with silver before and obviously I get flagged everytime it goes through an x-ray. I've never had a serious issue (traveled with max 20 oz (just say it's my personal collection)). I think as long as it's under a certain threshold it's not a problem. I'm just curious of the best response when speaking with customs. Maybe "it's a gift" is a better response?

I moved to Brooklyn in 2019 with 5 grand in the bank and no job. Was trying to get a clothing business off the ground and was living in a shithole room and making clothes in my free time. The money goes quick, living like a monk and I was still hemorrhaging cash. Got a job as a science teacher after a few months which paid the bills. Met a woman and moved out of the city after the pandemic. It was worth it but make sure you have a few ideas of how to bring in money. For me it was teaching, but be prepared to scrape for a while until you land something, even food service or whatever. Thousands of college grads move there every month to try and hack it with the rest of us, most of them end up working as waiters or bartenders and make it happen. Give it a shot and see how you do. Good luck!

Also, definitely find a place to move in before you get there. Showing up homeless and with no money you will have a really, really tough time. This isn't the 1960s, just showing up with nothing will cost you way more in the long run. If you're just starting out like I was then find a dump room on Craigslist first and then go from there. You do not want to be homeless in the city.

Not even close. Unless you are getting the sweetest gig of University level English or private school position PLUS conversational addon's for private tutoring you MIGHT get around 8-9m/yen.

Realistically as a JET/ESL you're grabbing around 5m/yen at best, where 3-4m/yen is more average, maybe 5m in the cities and got a decent resume while pulling some extras or have exp in teaching.

TEFL/JET/ESL jobs in Japan are seen as dime a dozen because realistically you're just there to show kids "hey fucktards one of you may need to know english one day". Most don't give a shit the same way people all over the world don't give a shit taking a second language in school. Oh cool this might help me out on my first job because it's on my resume, maybe.

If you're stuck in the country side, good fucking luck getting anyone to bother pay attention. If you're in the city you may have a whole 3 or 4 kids who want to learn. Everyone hated taking English in school in Japan that's still living there, and they don't really care that you're an English teacher. There are a few places with exceptions but again, it's single digits per year of students who actually see the use of learning English to move out of their normality of life.

Japan has some of the highest earning equity in the world, the difference between what an average doctor, teacher, pilot, programmer, etc make is less than a few thousand bucks. Teaching is seen as a dream job for a lot of people because the pay is good, they get a ton of benefits and the stability is second to none. Yeah the hours are long but that’s just Japan.

I have no idea what the price of anything is. Would $5k USD suffice for one week? Two weeks? Mainly interested in food, nightlife, and cooming, not so much travel. Thinking maybe just a mid range hotel but I wouldn’t be opposed to splurging for something classier if it makes the cooming easier.

I didn't mean to imply that they're segregated like a Catholic girls school but relative to, say, American public schools they are. e.g., coed dorms are not a thing in Chinese universities at least from what I've seen, it's also not unusual for classes to be all male or all female.
>following that up with 'hooking up isnt normalized' seems like you are clearly implying chastity.
The point I was trying to make is that the culture is more conservative than Japan and South Korea; Chinese women tend to be more sheltered/naive as a consequence. That doesn't mean the women are necessarily more chaste, only that there are stronger social pressures that discourage western style sexual liberalism.
