An island south of Japan and east of
China filled with centenarian elders and American military bases. The people living there are known as the Okinawans, who are culturally distinct from the Japanese. They are also the same people who gave us Mr. Miyagi from Karate
Kid, so thank them for that I guess?
It’
s often seen as the
Asian version of Hawaii, but don’t be fooled because Okinawans drive on the left whereas Hawaii people drive on the right.
Also, did you know that the original
name for Okinawa is “Uchinaa”? I
hope you didn’t because that’s the most random fact ever and knowing it reveals that you either have no life or you’re super bored from being in
quarantine.
