A typhoon is approaching, it's raining all day already.

So while I spend the time at Parco City mall in Naha, have some images of nature around the Sēfa Utaki sacred site yesterday (no photos allowed at the site itself)

Spam and egg onigiri. Can't get more Okinawan than this~ 🍙

"にーぶいかーぶい (Niibui Kaabui)" is an Okinawan term describing feeling incredibly drowsy and sluggish. It's that irresistible sleepiness taking over at your desk or after a long day. And yeah… sometimes your screen fills with the same text from sheer fatigue.

Swish! Every stretch makes my body feel a little lighter. The smooth rhythm of radio calisthenics blends perfectly into the morning air. But wait… our goat friend is leaning the wrong way! Does she even realize?

"プカプカ (Puka-puka)" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for gently bobbing on water. It captures that relaxed, carefree feeling of drifting without a care in the world. Think of it as the sound of pure, peaceful bliss on the waves.

"うちなーすば (Okinawa Soba)" is more than just a meal; it's filled with island warmth. The aroma of bonito flakes pairs with perfectly chewy noodles. With every bite, your heart melts—that's the comforting taste of Okinawa.

"Hooo...Hot...!" That's the sound of pure regret when the spice hits way harder than expected. Ugh, I definitely should've skipped this one. This goat never learns—always chasing the heat, always regretting it.

"ハッハッ (Hah-hah)" is a dog's way of saying, "I've never been happier!" while they run. And that pure energy is so contagious that humans can't help but pick up the pace too.

I have now visited the 'model village' part of #Motobu Arboretum (I can't think what else to call it).
I arrived at Ocean Park dolphinarium just in time to discover all the dolphins have clocked off for the day.

"If you carry your victories lightly, other qualities—kindness, orginality, courage, humor, and humanity—have room to emerge."

A real karateka never posts about their rank promotions or tournament medals on social media.

My #Okinawa #Japan travel absolute essential EDC:

🌺 #Orion brewing shirt
🌺 wide brim hat (with plastic hibiscus blossoms)
🌺 parasol
🌺 uv sleeves (to cover tattoos at shrines)
🌺 goshuinchō (to collect shrine calligraphy)

Ended a good first day and night at the Yatai Mura ("food stall village"), narrow little streets with tiny bars and restaurants, drinking and eating from tiny place to place and chatting a little with staff 💖

Walked home in a slight rain that made humidity even worse~
