I am an Indian. I want to move to Okinawa because I want to learn martial arts as there are no good schools in India and I came to know from my research on the internet that most of the best martial arts schools are in Japan. I know martial arts take a long to get in blood so that is why I am thinking of staying there for a long time.
I would like to know the cost of living in Okinawa. Also if I can get any job there. I know I cannot work as an English Teacher as I am not a Native English speaker (also I know I can speak in English but a Teacher should know a lot more). I just need something in which I can earn enough to eat and pay fees for the martial arts school and to pay rent. Just FYI, I have B.Com (P) degree with some Computer diplomas and I am working as an engineer in VoIP domain in India.
Also I would like to know that as I am a pure vegetarian so is it easy (if hard then how hard) to get pure vegetarian food there and are the Japanese people friendly with Indians?
Moving Japan for sake of martial arts ? WOW ! Looks like you are very passionate to martial arts ! I'm trying to move in Japan for undergraduate education! Maybe we could get along !
