めんそーれ(Welcome)！Vacationing in Okinawa

Welcome to Okinawa!

One of the most enjoyable things to do while studying abroad is taking trips. I am fortunate to be in a study abroad program that plans student trips. Our first major trip was a 3 night, 4 day trip to Okinawa, Japan. Unbelievably, we went all over the main island in just 4 days! Some of the places we visited include: Shuri Castle, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum, Katsurenjyo Castle Ruins, and Ryukyu Mura Park (replica of an original Ryukyu village).

We had a wonderful time experiencing Okinawa's culture and food, seeing historical places, and bonding with each other. This trip will be one of my most memorable experiences as a study abroad student.

Here is a short video of some of our adventures: Big thanks to my friend Tamaki-chan for creating and editing this awesome video!!
