First Few Days in Okinawa

Talking about my first few days in Okinawa; arrival, the hotel, my job, and what they make of my glasses/hair.

At the end of the video you can see the result of the haircut I gave myself!

I was stationed on Okinawa for over a year in the mid-1960s and loved every minute. The Okinawan people are honest and fun. I am sure that much has changed since the Japanese took the island back over. I have wanted to return there once before I die. I used to hang out in Futima, and had the time of my life. It was a great place for a young, single Marine. I often think of some of the Okinawan friends I made there and would love to see them all again. I hope you enjoyed your stay on the island.

Thanks for the comment. Okinawa is still beautiful and the people are still great! I think you should definitely come back to Okinawa again and see what's changed and what's stayed the same. You should then make a video for YouTube telling everyone's who's interested in Okinawa how things have changed. I for one would watch it!

Depends on the kind of job you're looking for but in general yes. Outside of Tokyo very few Japanese speak foreign languages.

How did you get the job? I'm in America currently looking for a job in Okinawa, I want to move there later this year. Did you have to know a lot of Japanese?
