I kept mentioning about it, but I am finally ready to share my trip and here it goes – Okinawa was such a special place! Yes, it is in Japan, but it’s not Japan. It’s so different, they have their own culture, own local food and drink, and their own language. I have never been such places like Okinawa. So special I loved it there so much!!

There is a big aquarium tank at the airport:

There are cute stuff, too:
