Okinawa Day 4

Day 4! My fourth day in Okinawa was my culinary tour! 

Dressing up myself by Blue Flower Shirt from Forever 21 and Ripped Short Pants of Mixxo, completed with gladiator sandals by Forever 21. And protected my own face from Okinawa very-strong sunlight by Snoopy Pink Cap.

Started the day with Original Garlic Shrimp Plate from the famous Shrimp Wagon. Such a great way to start my day! The sauce was really full of spices, and the shrimp meat very tender but the skin was crunchy and delicious. Perfect and I love it!

Second destination was soba restaurant. We ordered Pork-belly Soba and Pork-ribs Soba. The taste was really good, the pork was so tender, the soba noodle was cooked well. But it's impossible for me to eat all of them. The portion was too big for me to finish.

And yes. If you travel to Okinawa, don't forget to try the Blue Seal Ice Cream. They label themselves as Okinawan Ice Cream. The taste was wonderful. Five stars for Blue Seal.

Sunabe Seawall is literally full of foreigner people whose living and working in Okinawa. The situation and atmosphere there is not like a Japanese village. We can stroll around the alley full with fancy restaurant and bar. Or you can enjoy the sunset and the beach while walking along the Sunabe Seawall.  

Time to dinner, we went to American Village.
And enjoyed some sashimi. Very fresh and delicious. ♥️ always been my favorite Japanese food.

The American Village is a big entertainment complex located in central Okinawa Honto. Many American military bases are located in the area, and the entertainment complex' theme of Americana provides a nostalgic pleasure for residents of the bases as well as an interesting diversion for the locals. The American Village complete with a big American outdoor shopping mall with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes.

The most recognizable characteristic of the American Village is the large Ferris Wheel. You can enjoy the American Village night-view while take the Ferris Wheel.

And time to go back to the hotel and packed!

The place in between Korea and Japan I lost in translation. Not one word I can't understand about Japanese. Make me want to learn more about the languages from all over the world.

The place in between the sky and the sea. Okinawa magnificent, beautiful sky made me look the world in wonder, and the sea it's sparkling showing off their wonderful crystal emerald water, made me recall the beauty of my Indonesia's sea.

So I closed my adventure in Okinawa with my excitement of the Okinawa's Nature view. 

Back to Korea and back to my daily activities. :)

Okinawa Day 3

Day 4th! Woke up early for snorkeling at another island called Minna Island. 
We need to take boat around 30 minutes to get there.

Paired my Rashguard set from Barrel ( www.getbarrel.com ) 

and Bikini Bottom and Brief by Forever 21. Diamond Cap by New Era ( www.neweracapkorea.com )

Minna Island is known as “Croissant Island” because Minna Island's unusual crescent shape. 

The beach of the Minna Island is known for its clean water and white sand with the beauty of the Caribbean Sea view. 

This island really matches for snorkeling. 

This time I didn't bring my phone to water, because I decided to enjoy and focusing myself to the beauty of the sea.

I bought a snorkeling package from tour agency. 

Because that's more comfortable and efficient. The price of the package is approximately 100$.

(boat round trip+lunch+snorkeling complete with the snorkeling equipment if you don't bring that+beach umbrella to protect you from the sun).

NOTE : It's going to be difficult to find something to eat at Minna Island. 

If you don't buy tour package, I suggest you to bring some food. 

After done with snorkeling, we went to Churaumi Aquarium.  It was the biggest aquarium in the world until it was surpassed by the Georgia Aquarium in 2005. I met 3 very big Whale Sharks here. Actually, I'm very fall in love with ocean creatures. My favorite one is Whale Orca. 

But actually, I feel sad when see they can't live freely in their habitat.

Even I'd love and grateful be able saw them directly, but I hope they can live freely in the sea and meet their family and friends. Like as we like to do as a human. 

And I paired The Colorful Paint Jumpsuit with Forever 21 Sandal, completed with Orange Straw Hat. 

Starving! Time to savor the famous steak in Okinawa called Steak 88.
Aha! We ate Spiny Lobster Steak and Prime Sirloin Steak. Hem~ what can I say from this steak is~ if you compare that with the price, it was very different with my expectation. :)

With full tummies, we went to Kouri Bridge. A nearly 2,000 meter bridge which connects Yagaji island and Kouri island offers the stunning panoramas of the emerald green ocean.
Kouri bridge is the longest toll free bridge with a span of 1,960 meters in Japan featuring the spectacular ocean views which will dazzle your eyes as you cross the bridge. You'll only need 10 to 15 minutes to drive around the whole island.

And stunning Okinawa's sky made me see the world in wonder while closed my 3rd day!

Okinawa Day 2

Hot hot hot day! It's another hot day! :)
Just paired with my blue tank-top (Unbranded) with ripped hot-pants ( Mixxo )  and New Era black-diamond cap ( www.neweracapkorea.com ).

Started my day with japan's snack. Try the local snack is a must when I traveling to another country.

 The first destination is Cape Zanpa Light House.
On the summit of a cliff stands a 30 meter tall lighthouse offering a great opportunity to capture a view of a lifetime. Explore the tracks behind the lighthouse as well for some outstanding breathtaking ocean views.

Cape Zanpa is located just about the center of the west coast of Okinawa Island. It is placed about 5 km northwest of Zakimi Castle and is about 30 km north of Naha City.
I felt like standing in the place between sea and sky. It's beautiful and refreshing.

 It's time for snorkeling. We went to Cape Maeda and enjoy the green crystal clear water. In here you can do snorkeling, diving and scuba diving. I wear rash guard by Barrel ( www.getbarrel.com ) and Forever 21 bikini top and brief (unseen).

Cape Maeda is known for its coral plateau located on the west coast of central Okinawa.
 Huge rocks lie among the tip of cape formed by the raised coral reef, and right underneath you will be able to see one of Okinawa’s clear emerald green ocean with its beautiful coral reef.

Scuba divers also enjoy variety of fishes they meet under the sea such as the popular Longfin batfish also known as the flying fish, butterfly fish also known as the rock beauty, damselfish, clownfish, and many more. 

NOTE : 
Please be careful of them because I've bitten by whatever is that and got this scar around 2 weeks. :(

Most definitely, you should travel to the “Blue Cave” (Kumagaa Gama) located below the cliff.
 The ocean will sparkle in a wondrous cobalt blue inside this cave.

After snorkeling, my belly is screamed out hungrily. Stopped by the most famous restaurant around Cape Maeda called Cafe Hanagasa (Yomitan branch), I ordered Pork Soba and Grilled Pork Rice. I give five stars for both of them. 

Felt lost in translation when I asked some empty bowl to the waitress, but they can't speak English until our next-table-guy helped me translate into Japanese. ^^

Enjoy the sunset at Manzamo Cliffs. Manzamo is dramatic coral cliffs facing the East China Sea, with the natural vegetation covering its summit, which has been designated Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park.
If you take a stroll along the windswept walkway, soon you’ll see an elephant-trunk-shaped coral cliff for which the location is famous.

Not merely the spectacular ocean, but the ocean, but also waves crashing into the cliffs and refreshing air are always enhanced the most by sunset.

Together with blue sky and the beautiful sunset, my second day is DONE!
