Okinawa

Last week Loan, Alazene and I, went down to Okinawa a tropical island south of Japan.

The day before we left the weather forecast was thunderstorms all week, but we had great weather every day. It was extremely humid. It was an amazing trip, we visited the Shuri Castle, did some glassblowing, eat some raw goat, went snorkeling and chilled on the beach. 

This statue would chase the evil out of the Castle! 

Architecture is inspired from China, many Dragons.

Theres are many American army bases in Okinawa so the culture is totally different to main island Japan. It was very Hawaiian, flowery shirt, palm trees, american fast foods.

On one of the days we took the ferry to an other island, Zomami Island. It is more remote and less touristic then Naha but still many Chinese. One thing I didn't not understand is that Asian do note like to tan, Okinawa is many not the best place to go on vacation... But far enough they want to see the beautiful sea life, so they were all cover up. Shoes, wet suit and head scarf but they also wearied life jackets when snorkeling?  Do they not learn how to swim? They were very funny to watch. 

Snorkeling was the best thing I have ever done in life. I had done it before but nothing to do with this. There was probably 100 different types of fish, all sort of colors and sizes. Some fish would swim right up to you and swim between your fingers. Got to meet Nemo and Dory too ;)

We also found a friend, we named it after the famous french cartoon "Franklin"
