looking for vacancy accommodation in Japan !! HELP

[colmone]

Hi everybody

I'm a french student, and I'm not rich!

My only purpose is to be accommodated in Japan because hotels are expensive and I think its stupid to pay whereas I could meet and live with japanese people, it would be so much interesting !
I'm ready to do the same thing with japanese people, but I going to think that people isn't interested in it!

I'm trying penpals web sites, but I don't ever see similar requests....
I'm going to loose hope....
So if you know a place on the web where I could find interested japanese people! contact me please!

Thanhs a lot!

I can't help you, unfortunatly, but, where do you look for accomodation ? Tokyo ? Any where else ? This can be helpful ;)

There are also exchange programs that exist. I remember I read that it takes time.
Here is adress of program that helps Japanese to find a host family in France. Ask them to find a host family in Japan ;)

I desire to be accommodated really anywhere in Japan, just JAPAN! ;)
I sent a mail to the address you gave to me, thanks!
But I'm still thinking that it would be easier if I try to make penpals....
You know, without official stuffs, indeed it can be long, so I wonder if its not better to find directly interested people.... what do you think?
Any else advise for me...? ;))
Thanks a lot!

"I desire to be accommodated really anywhere in Japan, just JAPAN! ;) "
people who say this are always the pickiest/choosiest. too vague...
homestay? or foreign exchange? we have topics about those (in this forum) already that are far more thorough than anything that i could post...
