Japan
We lived in both Japan and Okinawa back many years ago. At first we didn't like it, but as time went by we began to love it more and more. One day I hope to return. BTW, we lived in Sasebo, Japan, on Kyushu Island, and Koza, Okinawa.

Re: Hello
I'd love to have a kimono also, Suzie :D . It's so expensive in the US. One kimono could be around 100 dollars something. :(Ordina_Lavender wrote:Hello friends,

Life in Osaka
I spent many years teaching English in Japan, mostly around Osaka. It was a wonderful experience, but there were some disadvantages. Since my salary was paid in yen, I had no problem with the prices, but I felt it was very crowded. I now work in Beijing, a city with 15 million people, but it seems like a small town to me compared with Osaka.
One good things about Osaka is that it is near Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. You can find the best of traditional culture or you can see one of the most modern cities in Japan, all within 30 minutes by train. And there are beaches in Kobe and Wakayama, which I really miss during these hot summer months.
However, what I miss most about Japan is probably the noodles! I really love udon, especially yaki udon, but it's not so easy to find good noodles in an ordinary neighborhood in China. Fortunately, there are so many other delicious foods here!
