Well morg and myself are stationed in Okinawa Japan.. kinda small but it is fun here..
As for the cost of living its a little more but not much more then in japan.. I mean a Value meal at McDonalds will cost yea about 700 yen here. (Plus you can choose what you want as extras its not standard like in America.. whoohoo go japan) Some things you can find cheap.. Other things are a bit expensive.. and one thing though.. Bring as much as you are willing to spend.. because there is alot of great things you can pick up here if you are really into Japanese culture.. also if you get a chance go eat at Yoshinoya's (i think i spelt that right) great Beef Bowl place.. Also if the japapnese work around americans or are majoring in a subject that requires english then its allright. but other then that bring a good Dictionary with yea.
