~OkinawA~


i went to okinawa with my family ヽ(*。→v←。)ノ
my second sister is there. since she moved to okinawa it was first time for me to visit her. i mean, it's been 15yrs since i last visited there...
the first day after i got there (mom and eldest sis & nephew were already there) we rented a car and drove to very north of the okinawa island. YAMBARU is where mountains are, we rented a small cottage there and stayed one night. on the way there we stopped by at a supermarket and got some veges, meat, beer and snacks for dinner. cooked hotpot and ate it together! our nephew got grumpy coz he was tired and especially when my sis tried to change the diaper... he hates it. he couldnt stop crying but we were like "stop crying, grumpy boy! we change diapers for YOU!!" and ignored him for a while. this is the pic. he cried to curtain since he couldnt cry to anyone (≧∀≦) it was so funny.


next morning we went for canoeing in mangrove forests. only in the morning the water is filled in the place so that we could go in but when water is down no one can go in coz it's protected as natural monument.

after that we went for a walk in famous street where surrounded by some special trees (cant remember the name (-_-)). found a beautiful beach near there!! then i got too excited and ran down the concrete slope (it was for dragging a boat down)...
then... tripped by the rope said "slippery! dangerous!" and flew for a second then bang! .. injured my knee and elbow (as always) and my hand. bleeding so badly...
so hurt... 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。
there was no pharmacy around there so we had to drive a little. my second sis nursed for me(ノ´∀`*)☆
then we went to Sesoko island which is connected to the main island by a bridge. easiest island to go coz no need to take ferry.


there was my sis's coworker's wife's cafe there and we had a cup of coffee then left.

it's a view from my sis's apt window! right below is the sugarcane firm (*¨*)

it had been a very short and somewhat tiring trip but very very exciting and fun and interesting family trip (*´v`)LovE(´v`*)

Peopel told me that culture is similar between Okinawa and Taiwan but I think there are still many difference.
i am thinking going back to Taiwan for vocation around March next year with Jen and we'd be sooooo happy if you could go with us.
That's gonna be fun and I will show you my "friends".....i think you will like them.haha~~~
