Hi there

I am planning a trip to Thailand, China and Japan, ideally staying for one month in each place although the length isn't set in stone. I've read a lot of great ideas for things to do in Asia already but I'm still not too sure about the cost...

What I wanted to know is approximately how much will it cost to live and travel in these 3 countries ,how much would I be looking at for flights?
Approximately how much would it cost to explore these 3 countries - I am looking at transport, accommodation, food, etc - the total package. I'll probably be doing it by myself instead of with a company to save money.

The second, and possibly more important question I had was this: What's the best way of finding work in these countries? Obviously the language barrier may be a problem - would I be able to pre-arrange work? Would I be able to find some while I'm out there?

Sorry about the long post, and if this stuff has already been covered a thousand times I'm sorry about that too - hopefully I'm not treading on anyones toes

Thanks very much to anyone who responds! Have a good bank holiday weekend!

I've never beep there but I'm plannig to visit asia also. I won't stay for that long, but i've heard from an online friend in Malayasia that life is much much cheaper there than in the USA. The rent is 4 times lower, food also cheaper...but when you are looking for luxury , things get surprisingly expensive. So I guess it depends what your plans are. If you want, I can ask my friend how much he spends a month to 'live', except his rent, because you will probably use a hotel or something.
