We have been in Okinawa for 2 years now and I love it! This is the most beautiful place you will ever see. If you love the beach and ocean you will love it here. A few things are hard to get used to, like driving on the left side of the road, never being able to read signs or understand what the locals are saying, having to give/ follow directions when there are no street names. Some people don't like it here, but I think its because they don't get out and do much. You have to explore this island to get the best of it. There are a TON of awesome parks, the 2nd largest aquarium in the world, and a lot of activities. And Okinawa has the best night life! The heat is a bit much, but you get used to it. The island is small but wonderful. I could go on and on about all the things we have done, but it would take forever. Like this year for Thanksgiving we are going to Tokyo Disney! If you are just going to stay on base and be scared of being out of your comfort zone, then you are going to hate it. It is kind of hard to get jobs because many of the locals take them. But with COLA, wives don't need to work. We PSC in a year and I am already getting sad about it. I love Okinawa!
