Goya Chanpuru is a dish that is eaten in the southern part of Japan.
When I graduated college, I wanted to go travel. Then I though "Why can't I live like I'm on travel?", and moved to Okinawa Island. Everybody thought I lived in a dream.
Okinawa Island is a southern resort island with blue ocean and coconut trees.
According to Wikipedia, Okinawa has....
Population: 1,416,587
Total Area: 2,271.30 km2 (876.95 sq mi) on 113 islands
Living on a tropical island is nothing like what you think. I still needed to find a job that I could survive there by myself (literally by myself!!), and to get a place to live.
Well, I was young enough to try any things.
After struggling with their language and culture, I finally got a job and an apartment that had no air conditioner in 40 degree-weather with the tiniest parking space that you could possibly think of! My unit was like a sauna during hot'n steamy summer, and it had nice'n green mold-lawn on the entire floor during humid typhoon season.
Goya has full of vitamins. It gives you energy to fight in the heat!
I ate Goya every single day. If there was no Goya, I would't be able to live like "I'm on travel".
I lived 10 minutes away from the beach, went for scuba diving and body board after work, and
traveled to other Okinawan islands on vacation.
I DID live like I was on travel for 5 years!
