Salmon, Flathead, Barra (in that order) ... Silver Dory, Black snapper would be my next pick . And Whiting to fill up the space.

yeah、 japanese live on Bonus. When you start working for a company, the monthly pay is low, but you get like 5-6 months pay-equivalant Bonus .. Gets better when you stay longer in that company as you geta payrise. TBH without a Bonus the monthly pay is too low and monthly pay is harder to manage than weekly wages. So, you borrow (credit) off your Bonus.

Probably not worth the labour cost.

Bet you do GN ...I reckon you are better off living in Japan and taking a couple of months off down at the beach where you are ... Any suggestions on which companies to go for in Hokkaido ? pm? yoroshiku ..

I think it depends on the item one imports. Like DVD. IN Germany the delivery guy at the door collects it. Better than paying for public transport all the way to the customs office to pay and collect it

Got no problem with taking her from low intermediate to hellsyeah rider...
But it takes a very strong relationship to survive falling leaf, 'weight on the FRONT foot', learning to turn, learning to link those turns...
Piece of cake .... there are much harder things in life

Rule number one: Do NOT teach your partner to snowboard.
Rule number two: Do NOT teach your partner to snowboard.
Rule number three: If you ever want to have sex again, do NOT teach your partner to snowboard.
There is a way around this. It is not true. GET AN ASS PROTECTOR, BACK PROTECTOR, ELBOW & KNEE PROTECTOR, HELMET .... and yes, you will be in pain rooting with bruises which you have never had so much before

Bento from supermarket ... under Y500

Private lessons 30 years ago was like Y5000 and you got fed. Crazy huh, One wudda made Y450 working in a cofee shop or Macca`s and now it`s double that. Not so with English teaching.

Well let's just say compared to Australia, Hokkaido is a very, very cheap place to live. Anyway if you landed a half decent job in Niseko, earning say around Y4-5 mill a year the cost of public transport wouldn't be much of a concern. Hell just buy a cheap car.
I'm talking jobs with foreign owned companies. They love getting bilingual Japanese staff. No issues with organising work visas and they really need and want bilingual staff. They're like gold!
'Gold' being paid just 4-5 million yen?
Sounds like a raw deal to me that.
Average Japanese household income for the whole country is about 5.3 million yen. I dunno what the median is, but it's definitely lower because about two thirds get less than the average. The further you get from the big cities, the more likely it is, with Okinawa rock bottom. About third of households nationwide live on 3 million yen or less, the same 250,000 a month talked about in the eikaiwa thread. Average household income is down by about 1.2 million a year from the peak which was 1994ish.
Interesting That , Didn‘t know it went up and down by that much. Always thought Aussie average income was low, and living costs too high in the big smoke. If you have trade, Oz countryside is the place to be cos you don`t have to rely on an employer and tradies charge you silly money. In Japan, still pretty cheap to live even in the city. What is crazy though, is English teaching wages ... I used to get paid Y2200 ph (didn`t have a BA) in 1979. That was the going rate. If you were highly qualified (MA) Y3000 . I guess it might be the supply and demand thing, and also by demand I mean there might not be the `high standard expectations` placed on the teacher. I don`t know. Sure, tourism always need bilingual staff but that, being bilingual in itself doesn`t get high wages. A tourguide doesn`t make much. An Interprerter who understands Science/Engineering does. Need to be a specialist bilingual staff. Say, in an office, PR, Marketing, CPA whatever

Donno if anything is called having a choice ... I am not geeting into a debate abou zat ... but considering I had held a Japa passport and my parents are Japa by blood/birth, I kinda feel pretty limited when I have to go thru the same process as any Gaijin and wait for 3 months (without being able to work) to get a temporary resident status
