"Fallin For You"
Colbie Caillat
I realized that the majority of my pictures taken from Okinawa are of the beaches. I have about 100+ photos of them. And even though they all look the same, I still can't get myself to delete any of them. This one was taken right outside my hotel.
We also visited the Okinawa Peace Memorial Museum. The last battle of World War II took place in Okinawa. It lasted for 90 days. "A significant aspect of the Battle of Okinawa was the great loss of civilian life. At more than 100,000 civilian losses far outnumbered the military death toll. Some were blown apart by shells, some finding themselves in a hopeless situation were driven to suicide, some died of starvation, some succumbed to malaria, while other fell victim to the retreating Japanese troops. Under the most desperate and unimaginable circumstances, Okinawans directly experienced the absurdity of war and atrocities it inevitably brings about" (OPMM website).
There is a Room of War Testimony inside the museum where war survivors written testimony's are kept. They contain stories about what people experienced during the war. There were two books translated in English and the one I read, I will never forget.
The memorial wall in Okinawa was designed after The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C 
We also stopped by the Shuri Castle, which was more like a fort than an actual castle.
And finally... the aquarium we visited at the Ocean Expo Park. It was huge!
and that summarizes my four day trip to Okinawa =D
