Assignment get!

Found out yesterday that we'll be in Okinawa-ken ( 沖縄県 ) ! 

Yay:
Near my new in-laws
NO SNOW
Coconut-flavored everything
Higher likelihood of an english-speaking vet
Being near the sea might take care of the tropical humidity
Shisa are goddamned adorable


Boo:
Near my new in-laws (OH GOD I HOPE THEY LIKE ME AND I DON'T MAKE AN IDIOT OUT OF MYSELF)
Little mass transit; will likely need a car
Anti-American sentiment might make becoming friends a bit tougher
High volume of English speakers means that it's easy to cheat and not learn the language
Farther away from mainland japan means less ease of sightseeing
Ridiculous heat

So I'm hoping for the best. Adventure time get!

  1. So, you're saying Okinawa is like the Texas of Japan? ;) With coconuts?
