Hello,
I am a new member to this forum, I had read a couple of messages from new members and throught I could be part of this group.
I live in North America and have never visit the Orient, this would be my first trip. I would like to visit the South part of Okinawa. I have always been fascinated by the Japanese culture, while a student I lived with a senior couple, originally from Okinawa (Gushichan/Gushikami village). Heard their stories about their childhood and youth in Okinawa, they emigrated in the 30's. Later I had the opportunity to spend some time with a lady who left Okinawa in the 60's and heard more stories. Due to my early interest, I took some japanese lessons, and I can write Hiragana, (not much katakana), and only a couple of Kanji. I doubt this could help me when visiting Okinawa....I will see.
I would like to rent a furnished house/apartment big enough to house 6 people. If anyone could help me with info would be much appreciated.
I am very interested in visiting Okinawa this year and wanted to get to know more about its people, first hand. :)
Would welcome your comments, not sure if I will be able to respond right away, but will try to do it as soon as I can.
Thanks,
