Comments on: Amami Islands, Southern Japan http://regex.info/blog/2008-01-06/680 Not a photo blog, but sometimes I play one on TV Sun, 23 Nov 2008 13:21:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: William Mizobe http://regex.info/blog/2008-01-06/680#comment-22952 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 01:26:34 +0000 http://regex.info/blog/2008-01-06/680#comment-22952 Hi! I have been looking at all the pictures in your site, but one site has caught my attention. Amamai island, I think it is one of the best places in your collection. Now, I am thinking of living in Amami, I am retiring soon and lookling for a quite place in Japan but that is really not Japanese. I am an English teacher here in Hmamatsu, Shizuoka ken, city life for me is so tiring and am thinking of transfering to peaceful place in Japan. I hope you can give me some advise on my plans. I am thinking of finding work even if the salary is low. What do you can I do there? It will be boring to go to the beach and fishing everyday. I hope you can find the time to advise me. Thanks, William <span class='jfriedl'>(I replied to William privately —Jeffrey) Hi!

There has been small boats that were pulled under during the whirlpool. My mother was born there and we still have many relatives there. We were there in October of 06 for three weeks. My wife and I are planning to retire there within four years and build a bed and breakfast, likely on Kakeroma. My great aunt there has offered me some land on the water. I really enjoyed your pictures and stories. Thanks very much. <span class='jfriedl'>Wow, that plan sounds both relaxing and hectic at the same time. If you do set up a business, be sure to leave a note back here! I regret not recording the sound of the surf there, so I hope to give it a try when I'm there again next month.... —Jeffrey</span> Hello,the reason for the smooth round rocks at honohoshi beach is because there are conflicting currents that at times will cause whirlpool.
