I do not find Okinawa’s transportation system to be very good.  Though I have a driver license, I’m afraid I’m not good enough to drive here.  Actually, it would be better if I rent a car and drive here; it will save me lots of time.

You know, taxi drivers in Okinawa often offer tourists a good price for a ride, hopefully the tourists will accept it. When I was in Manzamō, a taxi driver offered his taxi to us for a whole day’s rent.  He priced the rent for 14,000 Yen (this price is more or less the same as the bus fare and we have two large suitcases so of course we accepted).  We then bargained with him and asked to reduce the price to 10,000 Yen and surprisingly, he agreed!

The first stop for that day is the aquarium in Ocean Expo Park – its entrance looks grand and nice!

Go downstairs and you’ll find another entrance.

In here, you can watch shows.

wow, this photo shows the whale showing its tongue! Funny!

There is a beach at the right of the shows spot, but I didn’t go to the beach because we had little time.

This is the entrance to the aquarium. It is the only place in the park where we need to pay an entrance fee.

You’ll know how big the aquarium is when you see how many people it can accommodate.

This is a big map showing the whole park.  I think people need more than a day to explore the whole place, yet I only spent half of my day here.

I am leaving the aquarium so I’m walking through the park again!

This is the Chinese introduction of the aquarium.

Hint: In the aqurism, you may collect 16 cards (A4 size). The content of the cards are written in Japanese, but it is good to keep them as souvenir! (Click to enlarge image).
