漫「筆」經心

This is Day 2 of the trip.

This is the scenery I see from the hotel.

I visit Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu - This is where the king of Okinawa lived before it becomes Japan’s territories. The tour guide said during World War II, the US army destroyed here and what we see now is after reparation.

It is written "nation of courtesy".

This is what we see before entering the palace.

If you want to enter the palace, you have to pay 800 Yen ( HK$5x ). The tour guide said it has nothing special inside, so most of us choose not to go there.

This is the dummy of the buildings, the actual size of it is only 1/20 of Imperial Palaces.

After that we go shopping in an outlet, but it is not a place with many famous brands. It does have Ferragamo, but most of the brands are local brands only.

Products in this Adidas store are cheap, e.g. a pair of sneakers cost HK$400 only. Anyway, I have just bought a pair of new sneakers, so I didn’t buy one here. Other visitors buy a lot of things here.

Entrance of Gyokusendo Limeston Cave.

We see a 30 minute show here, but we are not allowed to film it. It sells records actually. It is an amazing show. It is not too hot here, the fans help.

This is what the king ate in the past, but I don’t think it is good. Anyway, it is better than the seafood pot in Day 1.

We are entering the cave!

It is 800meter long.

My parents think that the one they saw in China looks much better than this.

We can make glass ourselves here - I’m afraid I will break it, so I didn’t make one.

To be continued…
