沖縄 and Koala bears gambling
Wow I can't believe the long awaited Okinawa trip is over.... man... it was SOOO beautiful there and it was sooo fun. 果然是"日本Hawaii"... Despite typhoon (which I found out was going at 50m/s much later) on Saturday our trip still went very well... but anyways... I hope BILLY and VINCENT had a very happy birthday!!! XD
We did so many fun things at Okinawa... 国際通り、伊計島、美ら海水族館、Pineapple Park, 平和公園... but I think the most remarkable event was Friday when we did all the water sports at Ikeijima... man it's so pretty there... we went snorkeling, jetski-ing and banana boat-ing. Yuri is the best instructor ever!!! She kept asking me 大丈夫？ during jet ski, and I kept going もっともっと！！ lol I think she was amused by us Canadians' fearless-ness. hahha... anyways... it was nice swimming at the beach too... even tho there were non-poisonous jellyfish which stung us once every 10 seconds.. XD That's not gonna stop us from having fun!! After that we ate at a famous taco restaurant called Charlie Taco's (apparently Okinawa learnt how to make taco's from mexicans long time ago and had developed their own Taco making methods)...
*My first and probably my last time wearing a bikini... XD
On saturday we toured around Northern Okinawa.. Nago Pineapple park with all u can eat pineapples (too bad I'm not a big fan of pineapples), and lots of omiyage to try... lol we got so full from trying out all kinds of omiyage there. After that we went to Churaumi Aquarium which is world famous for...?? lol I'm not too sure. I loved the huge aquarium they had tho... with many groups of fishes, 2 whale sharks and numerous Manta Rays. After that we went back to Naha in the crazy rain and wind and we had dinner at a local restaurant which served 琉球料理 and had a dance show...
The next day we headed to Shuri Castle but didn't go in cuz they charge 800yen admission to the main castle (such a rip off! ><)... I swear japanese have the best ideas to make money off people. Along the way they had all these stamps where ppl can stamp on a pamphlet u can get at the entrance.. and once you start collecting them u'd want the whole set so I guess some people would be suckered into paying 800yen to go in the castle. =P Anyway... we had Shuri soba for lunch and that was sooo good... XD Then we headed to the cactus park but it was closed so we went to peace memorial park instead. At that place I felt a sense of solemnity but that feeling disappeared when we had the Uber yummy UBE icecream. XD After that, we headed down to a small peninsula of Okinawa and we drove down to a beach and had a BBQ there. It was sooo fun cuz it was my first time making a fire on an empty beach when it was almost pitch black at night... cooking Yakisoba and Gyoza on an aluminum tray... and playing with FIREWORKS... hahaha fireworks that Billy thought were SPARKLERS and ignited in his hands.... and fireworks that backfired at Kel.... good times... XD It was such a great end to the trip.
On monday morning, Kel and I headed to Kokusai douri to pick up more souveniers (I got us another team shirt, Fur!! and I also got a shirt that is a ripoff of Adidas.. it says "aidesu"(愛です) instead...XD love it!!) before Billy joined us. Then together we headed back to Tokyo.... *sigh* Okinawa... you will be missed!!!
Blogger is refusing to let me upload photos... so that'll have to wait...
================================
After heading back to Tokyo I met up with Billy and his friend Will... we walked over to 衣笠公園 in an attempt to head over to 猿島 but the last ship was at 5pm. Then we decided to have dinner at a steakhouse.... mMMm... beef... I missed having beef steak soooooo much!!! >< I wish their primerib wasn't sold out tho.... then we went to K and by the time I got home I was exhausted....
Something worth blogging.... yesterday I headed over to Billy's and Billy, Will and I started to "chai mui" where the loser has to take a bag of Koala bearz chocolate. haha actually I don't mind losing but Will and Billy was so intense that their hands were shaking... lol great fun...... let's do this again someday. =P Anyways it was nice meeting Will... =D
=======================================
I woke up in the middle of the night with a left calve cramp a few times already... ><
I wonder if I'm over stressed.....
