moving to a tiny island

You do realize that if Godzilla attacks you will have no way to escape his rampage.

Didn't you see the latest film? Godzilla is the good guy

Is it in the north or south (Okinawa ftw)? Do you have any tips for people like me?

it's in the seto inland sea between hiroshima and shikoku. man, i wish it was okinawa! that's my favorite place in the world.
tips? take opportunities to volunteer as a language teacher, learn about japan, get a bachelor's degree, and apply for the JET program!

Will you have home access to the internet from this little island? Also, something to consider is sea mail.

I will have internet at home luckily, so i will probably be online a lot when i'm not at work. sea mail does sound like a good idea, but i don't own a lot of cold-weather clothes as it is. i'll probably make some shopping trips when necessary, because although my location will be very inconvenient, i won't be completely stranded.

Lets make sure to meet up before you move. I will be back in town in a few weeks permanently

like mark said, i am actually in texas with family, but will be back in san francisco for about a week since i have to fly out of there to japan. so a meetup may be possible... will let you guys know in the usual thread if it's something i can work out

that's funny, because i actually play in a band called oxygen destroyer. we won't need to escape him, we'll simply destroy him if need be.

congrats Chris!

thanks! as mentioned above, i hope to be in town for a week at the end of july. if i have time, hopefully we can plan some sort of meetup.

so if i destroy him, does that make me the bad guy?

Oh man, lucky. I've always wanted to live on a small island somewhere for a short amount of time, but since it's Japan that makes it a million times better.
I'm surprised there is internet to be honest, but then again it is Japan I suppose...

Dude, you probably won't be too far from Itsukushima (when I was there years ago it was still largely called Miyajima). That place is awesome. A shrine/spa site where the deer roam freely, and will try to eat your poncho...
