Okinawa!

I just got back from a (too) short vacation in the southern tropical islands of Japan, Okinawa. I spent a day in Naha, the main city, then I headed out to a tiny island off the coast (Zamami jima) and spent 3 days relaxing and doing next to nothing. Check out some of the crazy photos of this strange and wonderous place:

Pig face for sale in the Naha market

Awamori - Okinawan liquor. Yes those are real snakes

Goya chyanpuru: one of the local dishes.
Basically, crazy bitter gourd (goya) stir-fried with pork, egg, and other veggies

Okinawan souvenirs - frog purses. Yes, those are real frogs.

Vacation calls for excessive desserts

Japanese style room in Zamami Jima.
Wicked awesome hotel, but I could have told you that by just looking at the name: Joy Joy
