Thanks so much for watching the video everyone! Check out Yujin's video of her top 10 restaurants in Okinawa here: th-cam.com/video/8KZoOejzf0I/w-d-xo.html
I lived in Okinawa for six years because my mom was in the Marines. We tried to be as immersed in the culture as possible and lived mostly off base. I loved it! Also that little whale shark character at the aquarium has not changed in 20 years 😂
I am from Okinawa but moved to America, seeing the Aquarium again gave me so much nostalgia😭
Okinawa is so amazing that I'm surprised you left! Haha. The aquarium was a cool place to see as well!
I was stationed in okinawa for 2 years with the Marines.
There's so much to see and do, but walking the neighborhoods was one of my favorite things to do.
If you ever go back, check out Nago.
Oh wow @lcpltylerhanyzewski there seems to be a huge American military presence in Okinawa. Seems like a pretty nice spot to be stationed in though eh! Saved Nago as a place to check out next time too, thanks for the recommendation!
A&W has branches in Malaysia and Singapore. They were first in Singapore in 1966. Way before McD's who had their first outlet in 1979. They exited Singapore in 2003 only to return in 2019.
Wow @jinngeechia9715 they have been there since 1966! Had no idea about that! Excuse my ignorance. Will have to go check out Singapore and Malaysia some day!
In Indonesia as well and in Thailand until two years ago or so.
There are so many beautiful places in Okinawa. Limiting yourselves to Naha primarily kept you from seeing the beauty of Okinawa. Rent a car and take any side road you see. You will never be disappointed.
That's the plan for our next trip! Already can't wait!
We spent a total of 13 years in Okinawa. We loved it, but left in 2011. Thanks for showing it to us.
@Bryon1187 wow 13 years! You must have some really fond memories from living there. Hoping to spend a lot more time there as time goes on. Really a beautiful place!
@@lostthenfound absolutely gorgeous.
Enjoy your videos so much. Where I live there is zero to see. Just more and more housing developments going up. Thank you for posting and being real. Also like the fact that as a couple speaking the language of the country is so nice.
Thanks so much for the kind words @ohwell2790! Hope you can get to some fun places to explore as well!
I was in Okinawa in March 2023, which took me 21.5 hours from the UK. C&C was great for breakfast, I too had the eggs Benedict (with bacon as opposed to smoked salmon) and we also visited pork tamago which is opposite and also very busy, we must've visited about 8-10 times, I absolutely love spam onigiri.
Oh wow 21.5 hours is quite a long way to get there @giuseppestorto9911! The eggs benny and pork tamago are amazing though eh!
Your videos are high quality, and it is obvious that you work hard on your content.
I sincerely wish that your channel will go from strength to strength, as you both definitely deserve it! 💪🤞🙏
Hey @ONCEbittenTWICEshyshyshy thanks so much as always for the kind words and praise! Hope you are healthy and happy! Take care! 😊
So happy I found u 2
Great video!
Thank you so much @jovantemusic68!
Awesome video and great info. I love Japan.
Thanks so much @lumtaroc! Japan is awesome!
So fun
Thanks a lot @marcomorales920!
Great job guys! Did a phenomenal review of a wide range of things for Okinawa. Miss the island and this helps to drive me back.
Thanks so much @glohearne! We had a great time there in Okinawa, and can't wait to go check it out again!
Wow! You two really get around. Thanks for the show. Regards
Thanks a lot Howard! Haha yeah from mid-October to mid-November we did a ton of traveling with my parents and together as a couple. We were really fortunate to be able to do so for sure. Hope you are doing well, and have an amazing week!
@@lostthenfoundyeah you two look so comfortable for each other. I will see you in the next video.
Super helpful video for a part of Japan I've never visited but am considering - Thank you!
Thanks a lot @davidellis4031! It's a great place to visit. Hope you can check it out some day!
I love Eugene's energy and excitement, it's so contagious. thank you for this nice video!
Thanks so much @ILoveBananaSmoothie! She's a wild one for sure! 🤣
Looks like you guys had lots of fun there! Night time really changes the place, even here in Seoul. Stay safe guys!
Thanks so much Thoan! It was a great trip overall, and almost the same as traveling to Jeju now that the Yen is so week (the plane ticket is the only thing that's more expensive). I'd really recommend going if you get the chance to some day!
We found the random parks to be one of the best things about Okinawa, but we had little children.
Great Video! Just booked flights to Okinawa last week for october this year. Been two times to Japan (Honshu) before and wanted to visit Okinawa at least once. It's good to see some recommendations and your experiences with the Aquarium. We're not the biggest Zoo/Aquarium Fans, so we'll probably skip it.
I'm currently watching a lot Videos about Okinawa and it's Places to find the right Hotel for our stay :) Was also thinking about getting a rental car, but am not sure yet.
Also, i'm feeling exactly the same way as you, about what you said regarding tourist spots and just strolling around unfamiliar places and cities (18:37). I just loved it to walk around Kobe, Tokyo,... to pick up the foreign flair.
So thanks for the video! And sorry for my english, it's not my mother tongue :)
Thanks so much @ronsen7363! If you haven't been to Okinawa yet, you should definitely check it out! Also if you're not an aquarium fan, it's definitely okay to skip the aquarium in Okinawa. It would also be really convenient to have a rental car there if possible to see more of the island. Hope you can make it to Okinawa soon!
Also your English is great by the way! I understood everything you typed no problem! :)
We LOVED Blue Seal
@Bryon1187 Blue Seal is amazing!
Cool CH !
Thanks so much @okinawa_ch!
This is a very helpful video, thank you! 😊 What was the weather like for the week you were there? I'm thinking of going to Okinawa in October/November next year and hoping it will be warm enough to swim but not too warm for walking/hiking.
Thanks a lot @frangipanisandgirl glad that it was helpful! The weather in November was about 22°-28°C during the day, so it's the perfect weather to swim and still be able to walk around! Strongly recommend going that time!
Hello, thanks for the great video! May I know how did you get to American Village from Naha?
Thanks so much @onomatopeia891! I think we took bus #28 from Kokusaidori which takes almost an hour to get there.
엔저라서 일본가기 딱 좋겠네요. 두분다 편안해보이고 부럽습니다. 11월에 반팔 입은 사람도 보이고
지금 원보다 엔이 많이 약해져서 가기가 엄청 쉬워졌어요. @user-bn5pq7bh5g님도 언젠가 가실 수 있었으면 좋겠어요!
@@lostthenfound 한국어 잘 하시네요. 저도 가도록 노력하겠습니다 ㅠ
I hope it will not rain, we’ll go in may 🤞🥺
All the best @xoxjuliiixox! I've been in May before, and even though it rained here and there, it was still really nice overall and the rain was more like shorter spontaneous showers than continuous rain.
@@lostthenfound thank you 😊 🙏🏼
Before your video my first choice hotel was near the American Quarter. Not anymore! Arigato Gozaimasu 👌🏻😊🇩🇪🇯🇵 🇨🇦 🫶
Of course! Thanks for watching! If you are staying at the same hotel, make sure you get the PIN number for the key from them before you travel there. The system seems to have a lot of errors haha. Once you get the key, the hotel is amazing though!
Tacos and burgers in Japan? Truly Canadia is the 52nd state
Japan is only an hour away and I've been over 15 times. This trip was just for us to go have fun after a really tough year, so we treated it like a vacation to relax together (more than being 100% authentic to Japan), and made this video just for fun. Please don't take it too seriously!
Dragons (and dragon statues) are immune to fire! :-)
🐉Fire is nothing for dragons!!🐲
A&W is in Singapore and Malaysia , Both Asia
Oh thanks for letting us know @kennethlim4999! Will have to go to Singapore and Malaysia too then! 😁
American Village is always busy. We lived in an apartment just outside it for a while. Is the theater still there?
@Bryon1187 I believe there is still a movie theater there, but we didn't check it out.
If you were to visit okinawa again, would you consider hiring a moped? Or maybe small car?. Seems like transport is time sink there.
I think hiring a moped or car would be a great idea if you want to travel around the island a lot, but we didn't mind staying in Naha for most of the trip to be honest!
A&W, eggs Benedict, tacos, spam burgers, etc.!?
C’mon man, where’s the Okinawan soba, shrimps, spiny lobster, fresh island sashimi, shoyu pork, champuro, etc. Miss a lot if you didn’t try the traditional foods.
He did show the Okinawa Soba
Ahaha fair enough @user-qd1oj7sb9e. We will be back to Okinawa lots in the future to try out things we missed! It's really easy to get to from Seoul luckily!
I remember the A&W fries being totally nasty - like compressed potato granules. Have they gotten better?
@Bryon1187 the curly fries were pretty good, but the regular fries were kind of similar to what you described. A&W was better in NA from my experience.
@@lostthenfound 😆😆😣
Homie said "not cheap" for a $15 buffet haha. I can't find any buffet in usa less than $40 now days.
Ahaha the effects of living in Asia for 10+ years. Everytime I'm back home in Canada I'm blown away by how expensive everything is now. 🤣
