日本に住んでいた時、日本の最南端にある島の一つである西表島というところで3ヶ月働いていた時のお話し。当時東京で働いていたのだが、単に時給で働いていることを無駄と感じ、同じ1時間をもっと有意義のあることをしたいと思い、その当時行ってみたかった場所の一つである沖縄へ行った。特に何も考えず沖縄へ船で行き、現地の人に話しを聞いて様々な島にあるホテルやコテージで働きながら暮らせることを知った。若かった私は何の計画性もないまま沖縄へ行ったことで、当日のホテルも予約しないまま行った。
This story is about my 3 months work experience in Iriomote island, one of the islands which is located at the Japan's south end, when I lived in Japan. At the time, I lived in Tokyo, I had a feeling that working just for hourly fees was a waste of my talent, and I thought there were more meaningful way to spend the same an hour, then I went to Okinawa that one of the places I had longed to go at the time. I had no specific plan when I arrived at Okinawa by a ship, I could know there were opportunities to work staying hotels or cottages on the various islands from local people. Being youth, I went to Okinawa without no specific plan, so I didn't reserve the hotel room for the day.
