How can we maintain our relationships with friends back home?

When we come to Japan, most of us leave behind friends and family. Unfortunately, we often get caught up with our lives in Japan, and our old friends get put on the back burner. Today, I'd like to take a look at a few ways that have helped me keep in touch with my people back home.

Hi all,

Can anyone point me in the direction of maps of Okinawa, preferably online, and hopefully with any text in English, or English and Japanese

It would also be good, if the maps, were to show all the islands and there relationship to one another. I have found a few, but they are so bad, a three year old could I think probably do better.

Thankyou, Hjaltlander

What kind of scale are you looking for?

You might have already looked at this, but this is what I use. The google maps of Japan are very good, but unfortunantly only in Japanese. You could use something like google earth, which will give you place names in English, coupled with google maps, if you don't need anything to specific?

I hope that helps,

John

I just want to let anyone reading this know, I found a new website with maps of Japan in English that seems pretty good. It doesn't get down to street level detail, but it gives a good overview. I think it goes down to the village/county/town level. It also let's you type in a Japanese address in English and returns a precise result. It looks like a great tool. Anyway, here's the link:
