My wife is more affected to change in her life so that's why I am thinking Japan, less of a shock than Korea. Maybe we are kidding ourselves thinking either is 'easier' than the other but it is a factor, while being foreign, Japan, seems less foreign than Korea(hope that made sense).
I think you are right. I imagine Japan would be an easier (less foreign) place to live. i totally makes sene.

As long as we have enough for the apartment, food, clothing, utilities and some side trips, we are happy.
This, IMO, will not be difficult at all. Most people at the very minimum break even. It's pretty easy to save some money.

Now I just have to see about bringing our cats. The biggest hurdle I am sure
I was just looking at bringing our dog to Japan. it looks like they just recently made it a lot easier if you don't mind implanting a chip of some sort into your cat. i guess its for tracking purposes. From what i read, do check it out for yourself though, you need to have a chip implanted in the pet and then have them checked at a vet very soon before you depart for Japan. I know there are some other things you need to do but those are the main ones. From what i read it seemed pretty straightforward for keeping your pet out of extended quarantine.
