I'm moving to Komatshushima (near Tokushima, Shikoku)later in the year and am looking for information on the area. I have looked fairly widley on the net, yet because it is a small town, there is little information avaliable. I was hoping someone could share some info, (climate, people) experiences, things I can't miss etc. I'v heard the dialect is extremely difficult?

I also am wondering about the reaction to living with my partner, unmarried, in such a small town? will there be a reaction? I doubt it, however I am rather curious.

Married or not, single or not, you will be constantly observed in a small town, even if you do not notice it. Be aware of that, and you will retain some of your sanity. People just can't help it.

"We're so curious about the foreigner! What do they eat? Do they walk different? Will I be able to dig some dirt up on them so I can tell all my friends?"

It's like a really bad J-drama, if you can imagine. haha
