In Okinawa, the only way to really get to know the island is to randomly drive around and see the sights. It's not a big island... about 65 miles long with an average width of about 5-10 miles. However, that is deceiving because there is so much to see and do here that you forget it's actual size. Traffic can get really congested here too, so sometimes it can take around 2 hours to drive only 30 miles, yikes!
Anyway, we took another road trip down to the Naha area and walked through one of the malls there and also found a couple of movie theaters in the area. Schan was actually on his own little mission to find some Japanese movie posters to sell online (movies and movie posters are his big hobby for those who don't know). No luck finding any to buy on this trip though. We also did some exploring in downtown Naha and browsed through some of the shops there. I still laugh at the crosswalks here because when it signals that pedestrians are safe to walk, they play video-game sounding music while you cross until the light turns red again. Kind of like human Frogger... only I hope that I'm more skilled at crossing the street than I am at Frogger :)

HAHAHAHA!! That is hilarious, Human Frogger! You should start running out when you cross, reversing, and then go sideways...see if anyone notices. :)
