I got the MEXT scholarship, and I’ll be moving to Okinawa to study at the University of the Ryukyus next month. I’ve been told that public transport is terrible over there, so I was planning on getting my driver’s license last year but I ultimately failed. I might try again if I come back to my home country to visit during spring break, but for the first few months/first year I’ll be without a license (and even if I did have it, I definitely wouldn’t have enough money to buy a car over there). I’m used to getting around by bike in my home country, even when temperatures hit 40+°C, would going around by bike be absolutely impossible? I mean I survived in Bali without a car…
