沖縄 写真
連休明けには沖縄の青い空、青い海の写真がふさわしい。仕事に戻り、これらの写真を眺めながら"私の一本の人生はこれいいのか"と思ったり(笑)。
本当にきれいだったよ。期待は全く裏切られなかった。沖縄の透き通る海を見るたびにため息が。
ハワイとかサイパンに行くより、沖縄に行くにはお金はかかるが、面倒い国際移動はもう勘弁を。朝5時起きて、6時に家を出て、羽田に着くには1時間後。あっという間に那覇に。
国内の便利さがありながら、なんだか外国にいるような感覚でした。
万座ビーチの近くにあるとこ。ドライブして、このようなビーチを発見したときに飛び込んでしまった。ということは３日もドライブ>きれいなビーチ発見>海水浴>疲れる>休む>ドライブ>きれいなビーチ発見>。。。
先、外国にいった感覚と言っていましたが、具体的に言えば、マレーシアのペナン島に似っていると思った。建築や植物、看板に使われたフォント、気温、湿度などが似っている。
人はあんまりいなく最高でした。
このビーチはシャワーとネット無しだったが、水があんまりにもきれいだったので飛び込むしかなかった。
8月末に行きました。雨は少し降っていたが、殆ど晴れていた。
トヨタのパッソを3日で9000円レンタルしました。安かったけど、全然パワーが出ないクソ車だった。アリのおならの方がパワーが出る。
エメラルドビーチ。シャワーとネット付きでゼロ円。万座ビーチは4000円ぐらいだった（駐車と入場費）。
津波防止なんとか（これなんと言いますか？）
初めてシークワサーを飲んだ。めちゃめちゃおいしいわ。東京で見当たらないのでこれからネットで注文します。
万座ビーチ。なかなかいいビーチだが、ちょこっと高いかな。
最後の日は那覇市内でぶらぶら。これは商店街で撮った写真。これライオン？あちこちで見かける。
那覇市内はちょっとつまらなかった。東京に例えると。。。うんん、下北沢駅周辺の半分のスケール。
市内はちょっぴりつまらないが、鉄人がいる。
こんなの沖縄以外の方は食べるなのかな？上司にお土産としていいかもしれない。
個人的にはこんなのを部下にもらったらやめてもらうかもしれません（笑）
この一本の道が市内だと勝手に思っているだけ。もっと面白いもんがあったかもしれない。。。

I'd like to go there but I don't think "foreigners" (especially americans) are wanted there. I hear racism/prejudice is pretty high in Okinawa. It does look gorgeous.

The drinks that are Shekwasha (correct spelling for it) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shekwasha
It's a fairly unique fruit that are only found in Okinawa, Taiwan and some South Asia islands. The taste is really good and it is very refreshing.
As for the thing in the bag is actually a boneless pig head. (It's my best guess!)
Since there are some Okinawa cruises the cooks the head whole. I had it once and it's very good.

Absolutely beautiful. Whenever I get the chance to go to Japan- will definitely have to bring some friends - I'll look for that one beach that was untouched.
White sand, clear water, blue skies. Amazing.

The drink is calamansi in english. In some countries, it's sold with lemon added to it. My uncle's friend was a chemist on the team that invented the drink. :)

Reminds me of a beach I went to once in Philippines. We later took a boat ride to some place in the ocean where the water wasn't as deep (you can tell where the water gets deep all of a sudden by the change in color). My sister got stung by jellyfish or something there. ^^;

Hi Danny. I'm living in Naha, Okinawa.
That street is "Kokusai-Dori 国際通り". And I think there is boring. but it's good place that buying some Okinawan goods.
by the way, Okinawa has many interesting foods and drinks. I love シークワーサージュース!
Okinawa-Soba(ソーキそば(spareribs with soba) てびちそば(pings feet)) is most delisious and famous food in Okinawa,I think! we called it just soba, but it's totally differnt from Soba.
I like タコライス(taco rice) too. tacos on rice... 高校生のときの昼食は、殆ど毎日タコライスでした。 250円だった！
そういえば、ビーチではTシャツのまま泳いでる人がいませんでしたか？
ほとんどの沖縄の人は海ではTシャツをきたまま泳ぎます。
日焼けが怖いし、クラゲとかに刺されるのを防ぐためです。特に、ネットがないビーチなどで。

今度来るときは、もちろん海、そしてハンググライダーorパラグライダーで空も体験してみてはどうでしょうか！

It's so funny that you posted this up! My mom saw a video on youtube talking about the longest living people on the planet (or something like that). and the people in Okinawa live the longest since most of their diet consists of Fish and Vegetables. She instantly fell in love with the place and said she would go in a heartbeat. I'm really glad too, because I might go to Japan a little sooner than I thought. hehehehehehe~

did you ever find out what those concrete things are called? it's something i've wondered for a long time.
i've wanted to get some tiny, scale-model ones since seeing astro boy use them to save the day. i dunno, i'm just really drawn to the shape, especially the ones that look like big, blunt concrete caltrops.
