Does anybody know how much it costs to stay in Japan for about a week?

Next month, I'm going to take a trip to Tokyo, but I haven't decided where to stay yet, and I'm on a budget. I'm wondering how much it would cost to stay a week around a place like Harajuku, Shibuya?

5000 - 10000 are basic budget for stay at hotel per day. so it cost will around 35,000 - 70,000. food ( breakfast / lunch / dinner ) minimum 2,000 - 4,000 per day at least. entertainment 2,000 - 4,000 per day. transportation 1,000 - 2,000 per day. hotel : 70,000 food : 28,000 entertainment : 28,000 transportation : 14,000 total : 140,000.

Try Air BnB or hostels for cheap accommodation. On top of that, 5,000¥ per day will cover food, travel, and sightseeing. Raising your budget to ¥100,00 a day will let you experience more places that have higher entry fees, eat at restaurants, travel further, and buy souvenirs. If you want to go clubbing or shopping, budget a lot more.

It depends where you will be going, where you will be staying or what modes of transpo you will prefer. But on a budget, I think around 70000-80000 yen will do considering that you'll stay in cheap accommodation and not ride the cab.

What's the best online teaching option?

I'm looking to fill some free time with online teaching, either through Skype or the company's native platform. I don't want to do private lessons where I have to gather my own students; I want to work under a company. Do you guys have any recommendations for that? If you do, could you give me a bit more info about pay and your own experiences/what you've heard?

Sending parcels overseas with Japan Post

I think I may have touched on this in one or two blog posts, and this is as much an airing of frustration as it is a question. For the last few years I've used but one Japan Post office, close to where I work. I'm a regular there when it comes to sending parcels home for birthdays, Christmas etc. In the early day, I would just be asked to fill out that little green slip about the contents of the parcel, and would also be asked if there was a letter inside. (To which I always replied "No," as it makes things more expensive.) The next stage was that staff would then started to look at what I had written on the form and if there was anything that might be construed as needing a battery, they would ask me to write "No battery" if one wasn't included. Are they ever? Fine. Then things moved onto asking me what was in the parcel before handing me the green slip, so I felt like I was having to announce to the office staff what a cheap skate I am when it comes to presents. And then we would do the green slip, and the "battery" questions. Now another layer has been added -- on top of the questions, the battery check and the green form -- I now get a separate form, a kind of tick-the-box checklist through which I declare that I'm not sending any cigarette lighters, matches, sprays etc lest I face prosecution. Then we get onto the questions, and all the rest of it. I'm just wondering if others are being taken through the same process when they send things overseas with JP, or is it just that particular branch ... or just me. It's kind of taking the fun out of trying to be a good uncle, brother, son, friend etc. Still, at least they've stopped asking me if there's a letter in the parcel.
