Personal comments
My only suprise was how much money I had left when I checked my savings the last week. Then again there's a lot of money I didn't spend on things like traveling far away and such.
You can actually live pretty cheaply if you're smart. If you're on a budget shop at the KyuKyu (99 yen store) you can get everything from produce to school supplies there.

The host country had overall higher living expenses, and besides, I went out social activities more than I usually did at home.
