Mr.Green on the bridge overlooking Naminoue Beach in the heart of Naha. I've never seen an urban beach like this one. There are several homeless people living here in tents.I'll have some ham, lettuce, and mustard sandwiches here for lunch.

赤はザ・沖縄って感じ!
この波の上ビーチにはホームレスがたくさんいるらしい。
ビル曰く、「シャワーもトイレもあって、居心地がいいのでは?」

10合ほど持参していたお米が底をつき始めて、サンドイッチ趣向に変わったビル。荷物の重量も軽くなって一石二鳥?!

Public bathrooms in Okinawa

そして沖縄と言えば、シーサーでしょう!!
那覇(←外国人が多い)のわりに「お手洗い/化粧室」?

「お手洗い/Bathroom 」とかではなく???






I forgot to mention that I missed my ferry to Kagoshima this morning. That's why I spent the day in Naha today. Tonight I'm sleeping here, at the correct ferry terminal.
It's 20゜C / 70゜F, but it's breazey and I feel a bit chilly.
It's 7:00 pm now and I'm hungry. Time to make some sandwiches.
実はビルと韓国人留学生のジュンが野宿したターミナルは、別の船のだったんです。ターミナルがいくつかあって、ビルは間違って違うトコロで夜を明かしたわけです。
気付いたときには事既に遅し。ビルが乗るはずだったフェリーは出港してしまいました。
ということで、更に丸一日(鹿児島行きのフェリーは1日1便)那覇で過ごすことになりました。「起こるべきして起こった」と楽観的に考えるように試みるビルでした・・・。
今晩は正しい方のターミナルで野宿して、明日の24時間フェリーに備えます!!!

Hello Bill sama !!
We saw our picture !
We'were glad to see that.

I(Marika) arrived at Tsukuba 3days ago, and my university started the next day.
I don't feel very well because it's very cold here. I really miss Okinawa.
Hope you enjoy your trip.
