Some Okinawan things: English translations are rough and often look like they’re straight from Google Translate. Food is crazy expensive and we’re struggling to adapt our diet to what can be found locally (bitter melon, anyone?). The picture above is a quarter of a (not organic) watermelon for $7.29 on base. Do the math to calculate the luxury of a whole watermelon! The ads are strange. I think this is a Hello Kitty circus performance? Shisa dogs are everywhere, even randomly painted on the sides of buildings. Max calls them out whenever he sees them.
