Okinawa

Another retrospective on my Japan trip.

I spent the second week in Okinawa. The Okinawans are warm and friendly ... and they like their drink, especially Awamori.

I spent an extra day there (in Naha) and visited Shuri Castle, which was the palace of the Ryuku Kingdom, which ruled the Ryukuan Islands from the 15th to the 19th centuries - the Okinawans that I talked to considered themselves Ryukuans or Okinawans, rather than Japanese.


I also visited Filisji-En Park. OK ... back to Australia.
