With about 18% of Okinawa covered in US military bases, it makes sense that some people would be upset. Interestingly enough though, this is the only place in Okinawa where people openly demonstrate against the base on a daily basis. Since the road is very far from any real cities and the gates are not currently used the protesters are allowed to stay.
Aha Falls or as it is also known, Tanaga-gumui is located in the North part of Okinawa. The water is dark black and rather mysterious looking. The pond used to be home to a species of freshwater shrimp that has now gone extinct.
The sandwich above was found on the Northern part of Okinawa's East Coast. It consisted of toasted white bread, tomatos, cucumbers, fried egg, and several slices of bologna, which was then topped off with a healthy dose of salad dressing.
