50........

I ate at Johnny Rockets in Tokyo... cheeseburger, fries, tea, apple pie = $25

good afternoon

hi there :)

yeah its scary at first. i used to never know how to really drive a stick. i had to when we were on vacation in london driving on the wrong side of the road. my friends were drunk so i had to drive. in eurpope you cant get automatic i think because of the gas efficiency.

good deal! I guess the portions were really small.


In okinawa, we went to karaoke, drank like mofos for 3 hours and it only cost $20/person

a 1 bedroom apartment costs around $1k/month everything included. It's slighly more expensive than vancouver, but not that much.

enjoy your adventure!!!!!!

It was when I was there in 1993 and 1994 ... does a can of beer still cost $6 ? :)

can of beer in a convenience store is cheap. About $2 for a 600ml

in bars, it's about $10 for a beer (all depends on which bar you're in, obviously) sometimes you get crazy deals for the first 2 drinks, $5 each :)

I lived in Germany and loved it! Good luck with your move!

i will miss you :( don't forget to send me lots of presents

thanks Scott!! :)

if you ever come to Japan, let me know!

you're really subtle about your true intentions, I love it :)

of course I'll send you tons of stuff... including flight tickets to come see me ;)

you better pack more of those $100, very expensive country to live in
goodluck

:smokin

Don't fuck with the Marines when the Fleet is in. They go crazy, fuck everything that moves, and drink anything that will give them a buzz. Been there and seen it.

You won't have any problems as most people on Okinawa speak pretty good English as a result of our 50 years of occupation. Still it is a cool place with good fishing and skin diving. Lots of history too if you like that sort of thing.

Best of luck and have a good time.

yeah, I've heard some horrible rape stories involving army people there... From what I've seen, the majority of people want them out.

got any pics of the S4???

Dude congrats on getting the fuck outta N.A., i'm right behind ya.

Japan needs to form its own military again to help us own china. They did an awsome job last time. (not jokingly)

japan spends a LOT on military

but they're pacifists now, they don't wanna kill and rape people for no reason anymore

got tons of pics, ICQ me i'll give you a url, or email me jay at nexpal dot com

I lived in Okinawa for 4 years, absolutely loved it! There really aren't that many rapes, far less then the main land. Of course anytime a rape happens on Oki the news is all over it and tries to turn it into an International incident. The people there love the military, we keep that island alive. The residents mostly complain about the noise around the air bases of all things. If you want to save money, hook up with some military friends and shop on base (if you are not already military yourself). Alcohol is alot cheaper on base and you have a lot more variety to choose from. Where abouts on Oki will you be staying? While you are there you have to get scuba certified, it is very inexpensive and probably the best thing I did while I was there (besides party my ass off). If you have any questions about Okinawa feel free to message me, I know that place like the back of my hand. I'm desperately trying to get back there. It is the best kept secret in the Air Force!

what's your ICQ or email? :) I'd like to chat with you

I have always wanted to go to Japan

i've got experience moving INTO north america :)

Good luck man! change of pace is always exciting.. as long as nothing ties you down.. shouldn't bee too hard.

you need a lot of Yen there to buy things.

yea i'm real sure china's just forgiven them

theres a reason they spend ALOT on military, but if i remember correctly, they can't call it "military" theres another name for it...based on agreements made back in WW2

and get into public relations nightmares on a monthly basis...what was it last time....about some rock in the middle of the ocean, or drilling grounds?

plus the earthquakes...yikes!

That's Sepak Takraw...that shit is WICKED...
