My photo says it all I think. Look at that VIEW!!!! Nothing had been photoshop. The water was THAT blue and clean.

There were lots of eateries near the cliff. No hunger / thirst worries.

This beautiful cliff did have a dark side. Well know as a beautiful sunset spot, but also as a haunted place. I came across a local who advised against visiting this spot for the sunset.  To be clear, I am no historian, but the tale goes like this…

Okinawan War back in 1945. This beautiful island of 450,000 inhabitants lost 140,000 lives.Manzamo, Okinawa

Okinawans were not treated as valued Japanese. The imperialist of the time used Okinawans as ‘sute-ishi’ (equivalent of a pawn) to delay the attack on the main island for as long as possible. This included child soldiers, kamikazes and all sort of other unthinkable methods. Tragically (for USA & Japan), full on military engagement took place while all the civilians were on the island. To make the matter worse, Okinawan civilians were educated that suicide and parricide were both superior options than being captured. This cliff was one of the exits… This was one heart wrenching spook story. Accordingly to the locals, because so much blood had been spilled, spirits still lingered to the cliff…

Away from the spook / war story. Check my hair out! Yup, my hair was (sadly still is) naturally curly. By the grace of this gale, this lion mane look was achieved. Traveling solo was not easy. Fellow tourist was hard to come by. There was no chance for a re-take.

    Fiquei impressionado com BETesporte Casino, oferece um thrill esportivo unico. A variedade de titulos e impressionante, oferecendo jogos de mesa dinamicos. Fortalece seu saldo inicial. A assistencia e eficiente e profissional, sempre pronto para o jogo. O processo e simples e direto, no entanto recompensas extras seriam um hat-trick. Em sintese, BETesporte Casino e indispensavel para apostadores para quem usa cripto para jogar ! Tambem a navegacao e intuitiva e rapida, instiga a prolongar o jogo. Muito atrativo os torneios regulares para rivalidade, que impulsiona o engajamento.

  2. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Galera, resolvi compartilhar minha experiencia sobre o Bingoemcasa porque me surpreendeu demais. O site tem um jeito leve que lembra um encontro descontraido. As salas de bingo sao movimentadas, e ainda testei varios slots, todos vieram com graficos bonitos. O atendimento no chat foi respondeu em segundos, o que ja me deixou tranquilo. As retiradas foram sem enrolacao, inclusive testei cripto e nao tive problema nenhum. Se pudesse apontar algo, diria que senti falta de ofertas extras, mas nada que estrague a experiencia. Na minha visao, o Bingoemcasa virou parada obrigatoria. Com certeza vou continuar jogando

    Ich bin komplett hin und weg von SpinBetter Casino, es ist eine Erfahrung, die wie ein Wirbelsturm pulsiert. Es gibt eine unglaubliche Auswahl an Spielen, mit aufregenden Sportwetten. Der Service ist von hoher Qualitat, immer parat zu assistieren. Die Auszahlungen sind ultraschnell, ab und an regelma?igere Aktionen waren toll. Global gesehen, SpinBetter Casino bietet unvergessliche Momente fur Adrenalin-Sucher ! Nicht zu vergessen das Design ist ansprechend und nutzerfreundlich, verstarkt die Immersion. Ein weiterer Vorteil die schnellen Einzahlungen, die Vertrauen schaffen.

    Ich bin total begeistert von DrueGlueck Casino, es liefert einen einzigartigen Adrenalinkick. Es gibt eine Flut an abwechslungsreichen Casino-Titeln, mit modernen Casino-Slots, die fesseln. Das Casino-Team bietet erstklassige Unterstutzung, mit Hilfe, die richtig abgeht. Casino-Gewinne kommen wie der Blitz, aber mehr regelma?ige Casino-Boni waren cool. Am Ende ist DrueGlueck Casino ein Casino mit mega Spielspa? fur Spieler, die auf Casino-Kicks stehen! Extra die Casino-Oberflache ist flussig und mega cool, was jede Casino-Session noch krasser macht.
