"But it's not really Japan...."

One of the things Ryan and I have heard a lot since we found out we were moving to Okinawa is that it won't really feel like Japan because there are a lot of Americans and Ryan will be working on a military base. Not true!! We want to take advantage of living abroad and we plan on living off base, learning Japanese, driving on the left side of the road, and eating sushi and sobe! Although climate-wise Okinawa is very much like Hawaii since they are both tropical places, Okinawa is still very much Japanese. When I stumbled upon this Jenny Spouse comic about the misperceptions of Oki, created by a military wife, I had to post it!
