This past semester I was lucky enough to make a couple of good friends that I was able to go traveling with. Both these friends are local Hong Kong residents that also live in Hall 10 with me. Although different ages and backgrounds we are all able to get along through common interests and compatible personalities.As a Hawai'i resident, it is questionable why I choose to take a trip to Okinawa as their environment and living style is very close to Hawaii's. But what Okinawa had that Hawai'i didn't was amazing food and traditional hot springs.
For this trip, we had decided to go with a traveling tour company because english isn't too prevalent in Japan. Unless traveling in the bigger cities such as Tokyo and Hokaido, everyday people such as store clerks, students, and restaurant workers won't know too much english. Also because it was just going to be us three girls traveling on our own, it would be more safer to join a tour.
During our 5 days 4 nights trip to Okinawa I had experienced many firsts such as:
- Extremely fresh Seafood:
- Huge Scallops
- High Class Beef
- Hand Sized Abalone
- Jumbo Shrimp
- Sashimi Boat
- Cut on-the-spot Sashimi
- Churaumi Aquarium: 3 Whale Sharks
- Traditional Hot Spring (had to get fully naked and all)
