Okay so, I was laying in my bed. It was a rather restlessnight. I couldn't sleep at all. It was too hot. So right when I finally fall asleep. I wake up to my bed shaking. I was thinking to myself... this is a really vivid dream. But, somehow I knew that wasn't right. Then the whole building started shaking. I was like... This is it. This is an earthquake... and I don't know what I am supposed to do. So I stood up and looked out the window. Turns out you are supposed to go
stand in a doorframe, but I didn't know that. So the shaking only lasted about 15 seconds, but it was a long 15 seconds.
So afterwards... I did what everyone should do... I carried on with life and went out into town.
Me at Tan Tans. That stuff is delicious.
This literally had hunks of either white grape or aloe in it. I'm not really sure.
Steinbrecher holding some Japanese candy we bought.
I am convinced Starbuck's is taking over the world. There is another one about 4 minutes walking distance from this one.
This is Jusco. It is kinda like a mall. Not like U.S. malls. The stuff is way closer together and the sizes way to small.
The flora around Okinawa is beautiful.
There is two of these at the entrance to every place. The open mouth is the female. The closed mouth is the male. They are there to let evil spirits out... or to prevent them from coming in.
These are a couple of drink machines. They are everywhere. In the most odd places I have ever seen. If Okinawa was an island where no one lived it would still house thousands of vending machines.
I thought the Christmas tree lights were a nice addition.
This is an interesting place. It's Mihama Carnival Park. It has a variety of stores and an A&W and my personal favorite Yogurtland.
After this day of adventure I went to bed. Sunday Carberry, Steinbrecher and I had plans to go to Four Seasons for teppanyaki. (I might have spelled that right). However, Cpl Castillo comes knocking on my door and I find out we have to go into work because we have to broadcast information about the current Tsunami warning. So we worked about 4 and a half hours yesterday. Luckily there was no Tsunami and we got Four Seasons anyway. Woot! Woot!
Thats all for now folks. Reporting from AFN Okinawa, I'm LCpl Meredith Watts.
