Okinawa!!!!

Tropical Islands are cool...
This is me sitting on a Go-ya (bitter melon) which is a signiture okinawan vegetable... *DAISUKI!!!*
This is a famous cliff of sorts... what does the shape of it remind you of? The sucky part of this trip was that it rained and was cloudy most of the trip.... but its a great place!!!

hmmmm beach at the resort... and this is why I'm broke....
Oba-chan knows how to make her foods... it was the best food we had the whole time we were there... and the best part, I paid like 7 bucks for it.

An Izakaya that used to be a public bath house.. how omoshiroi....


The largest aquarium tank in the world!!! It houses that cool shark I'm pointing at, check out the symbiosis... fyi the glass is 60 cm thick....


On the rainy day we went to a traditional crafts kind of place to paint these dragons called 'Shisa'....TWO painful small brush strokes hours later....


Finally a sunny day we went outside of course... how can I say I didn't swim here?!
We also went snorkeling... which I found out that I seriously needed a nose plug... but if I had a nose plug maybe I'd be comfortable scuba diving next time too.... it was SO pretty... ocean shots pending...

Worth every penny.... or.... yen....

Also please refer to the left side for more photos of this year - some have asked about if I had more photos.. there they are... too many in fact...
