Que sera sera Okinawa

This is one of beautiful beaches in Okinawa. The name is from a geography of sand which is moon shaped. It is located 30 minutes from my house. We can swim there between May and October. It is a private beach for the Moon Beach Hotel, so if we want to swim there, we have to pay for swimming and parking. I didn’t use to go to the beaches when I was in Okinawa. However, I remember I swam there twice. Especially, I remember that it was summer time and I was 5 years old when my aunt and cousin were visiting my family. They stayed at Moon Beach Hotel; therefore, we could go to the beach for free. My cousin and I went there and wore inner tubes, and swam a little bit. We didn’t do special things, but I was happy to see my cousins because I couldn’t see them so much. It is a great beach to swim when you visit Okinawa.

We have food called “Taco Rice” in Okinawa. They are originally from Mexico. I believe it came from there after World War 2 with American fast food somehow. I used to eat it at lunch when I was an elementary, junior high, and high school student. Schools provide us with lunch when we are students in Japan. It is different than Mexican Tacos. We use rice, cabbage, beef, cheese, and tomatoes. We put sliced cabbage, cheese, chopped beef, and tomatoes on top of rice and then we mix everything when we eat. It is not very spicy, so I like it very much.

There are only two department stores in Okinawa. One is a department store on International Street which has a lot of souvenir stores and restaurants in Naha city, Okinawa. It is one of my favorite places to shop!! =D I used to go there with my mother when I was a child. There are many expensive clothing stores, restaurants, and stores which sell cosmetics… etc. I mostly go to clothing stores because I LOVE clothing!!!! <3 <3 <3 My mother often goes to malls a lot to go window shopping. When we go to Ryubo, usually we stayed there more than four hours!! Especially, when they have sales, we stayed there almost one day!!! My favorite clothing store is “ELLE” which means “she” in French. I guess the designer is French, I love it because they make colorful clothing. I love bright colors!! I cannot wait to go shopping there again!!!! XD
