I have not been to Okinawa in over seven years. Not much has changed from the last time I was here, except this time Im armed with a camera. The weather here is Hot, with what feels like %100 humidity. That has not stopped me from going out and getting a few photographs of what the island has to offer. Have fun, and feel free to leave a comment.
Ok ok this first one is not actually of Okinawa, it is the sunrise over Anderson AFB Guam. I pretty much had no choice but to stop what I was doing and grab my camera for a shot of this.

I have no idea what this sign says but I liked the cool conji script…hope it does not say no pictures.

For those of you that have never seen a banana spider here you go. These things are pretty big, the hand in the picture on the left is closer to the camera then the spider so it should appear bigger, and the spider is almost the same size in the picture. So by my math that means the spider is about the size of an adult male hand. In the second picture the spider has caught what looks to be a beetle.

These little guys all over the island of Okinawa they are called “Shisha’s” there are two types ones with mouths open, and ones with mouths closed. The ones with mouths open are supposedly male and they ward off evil spirits, the ones with mouths closed are female and they keep good spirits in. So the moral here is in order to keep everyone happy women should…..

I had a chance to sample some of the local food…it is as good as the pictures make it look.

Im pretty sure the guy who invented the vending machine, made his fortune from Japan, there is a vending machine on every corner here. You can actually get fresh grilled hot dogs from one of the machines I saw.

These next couple of pictures show some of the signs I saw while walking around. I think they gave the people crossing sign to the lowest bidder, either that or they have aliens walking around here.

I passed on the banana omelet and waffle corn.

At first I thought these where packs of playing cards or gum…turns out they are condoms…and they stop AIDS.

I thought Spam had a monopoly on the smeat market guess I was wrong.

Lost in translation.
