I'm currently living in Tokyo and have family visiting from NZ. I've already had a few uncomfortable conversations about when I'll be coming back. Realistically I won't be, not only would I lose more than half my salary, but I would then have to dedicate a large portion of what's left on an overpriced hovel that's probably rotting from the inside. It's no wonder that most of the people I graduated with left the country long ago. Those who stayed had well off parents who could get them onto the property ladder.
