This how I want to live my life too in the Philippines since I already have a life for me there. I love this Video and it reminds me how I can do more for myself through perseverance including being passionate of what I really wan to do in life and that is lving in Asia and have a good mellow life. Love from half Filipino African American ✌🏾🇵🇭❤😘
I'll be there after I retire in 2 years!!! But in Okinawa City family , more power too ya bro!!!!
@@jj6978john thank u bro 🙌🏾
The Black Experience Japan love your video bro, I’m a Jamaican who also lives in Japan and this guy story is great and real
Does he have an IG or TH-cam page because I'd like to follow how it is living where black ppl aren't typical. Its interesting and a very real reality.
Dude just wanted a better quality of life for his family.
here in Philippines brother
yes brother
True facts hopefully everyone pays attention 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Preach
Dude i suggests dnt u dare Live in the Philippines cuz its too much.... ur goog in Okinawa its safe amd peaceful and nice! Stay there its better ;)
My wife and I are planning to move back to Ghana Africa and this motivates us. God bless you
Stay blessed bro
You will be alright, just take a lot of money to invest so you can be ok.
You a black man so that won’t be a problem
Black people are the most reliable and kind I've ever met. This guy is optimistic and talkative, and I'm sure he does anything for his family.
Respect homie 🙏🏾🙌🏾.. I will say not everyone is perfect but I'm glad you have met good people.
There are "good" and "bad" people of every race and identity. Ideally u would judge people on the individual.
_But thats not to say that you are wrong about him. this man is a genuinely good person._
YT took my big message off because it was too honest.
The fact is what you've written - the opposite is the truth.
💯💯💯
This is surprisingly spot on. Research on philanthropists in the US discovered that blacks were the most generous, despite all of the horror passed down to them from past generations and despite having $163,000+ median family wealth deficit when compared to other ethnicities (Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances).
This guy is a wonderful father and a family man!
@Okinawa 4K this you? Thanks and keep rockin!
@Okinawa 4K this my dream to up and leave us with my family but im broke, but you give me hope fam
This is really awesome!!! I am the only Black woman living on Amami Island not extremely far from Okinawa. How cool!
Let’s connect.
Wow!
@Action Jackson could i ask you for some advice? 23 year old here and got Japan in my sights
Amami Island is the place where my grand dad was born at.
@@TheBlackExJp did @kimkim ever contact you? Just curious
I moved away from the USA 20+ years ago. My life has been such a blessing by just doing it.
Randy W Horton what country you moved to?
Balla Dosn't really matter, USA has become a shithole for the regular citizen.
Flemming Rostock exactly
Damnnnnnnnn my kind of place!
very insightful interview
Keep up the good work bro
hey man, what town were you teaching in china? was it in wuhan?
Aya Maya!!
Maya is Here doing what!!!!!!!!!! Maya bro has are you , l am Lambert from Rwanda brother
Will you prefer to go and stay there? Bless bro
Aya Mayaaa in the Buildind
I met this guy when I went camping on Zamami island! I’m amazed at his story and hope to bump into him again when I revisit!
I dont have see any problem with black man ,,thier skin tone does not affect thier attitude ,,, most of the black man have good heart indeed
@YES WE CAN he said skin tone doesn't affect a person's attitude, he believes the men he's met have good hearts...
He was being positive
I'm sure some of your people have good hearts too 😘
..and ur name is Yoruba!!
Stop joking bro yoruba is definitely Africa n Nigerian. Let the other races comment on us.
I don't see any problem with white, yellow or brown skins some of those people are quite nice. It goes both ways. Your statement was unnecessary.
In every race there are the unmentionable. Only thing is the "black race" is continually under a microscope. Everyone feel they have to comment on us, about us.
Another great video! “Fear keeps you sitting still.” Had to reflect on this and digest it. This year I’m coming out of that bubble. Thanks!
That background is picture perfect! Good interview.
Nothing better than seeing a Black Man/Woman being successful in the environment that they prefer to live in, makes me really happy. This is by far better than the typical cringey vloggers, this is much authentic and ptovides a more analytical approach that is not sugar-coated and is more in depth than any other J-Vlog channel.
I’ve been to Okinawa’s Kerama Islands many years ago for snorkeling, and yes it’s beautiful! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hi! Sir, Jefferson, you are incredibly amazing person! I love how you spoke about your formative years as journalist working around the world! I've started taking lessons on broadcasting journalism and it's fun. I wish to meet you one day personally. You are so wonderful to me! 😃
@@acquahrockson3930: Thank you for the kind words! If you're in Japan, I can be reach at Temple University in Tokyo.
@The Kamakura Gardener
Could you please help me find a sponsor/scholarship to come and learn Japanese culture for a year or so?
Japan is Better than china.The most of the Chinese are not good.its awful for Some people in
I subbed to your channel today, sir. I'm currently in Taiwan.
It's really sad that people of color in the States feel like they need to leave just to raise their children in a safe & stable environment. Blessings to you & your family brother.
Its not sad its called ambition the man been in America his whole life and he jus wants something different for his family.
@@BettyblacksS Yes ambitious to leave the US partly because of safety, which he and nearly every other black American on this series mentions.
*Black people
The only way a Brotha can be safe and catch a break.
Yeah he doesn't have to worry about his brother doing something to him.
🤣 True
@D T ..RIGHT..👍
@D T 💯💯💯
If we can't beat them. We rather spread the "Love" and beat them eventually🤔🤣
Listening to his story is almost identical to mine and my wife’s decision to leave the states and move to Japan. And YES! The best decision we every made! The random gun Violence, drugs, education and racism was just too much! My boys are free to explore and travel with friends and we don’t worry, great education and a peace of mind no racism! Nothing like the states! I feel blessed!!!!!
But japanese has a big porn epidemic
@@goutfromporkrinds9516 "Big porn epidemic" vs being shot or arrested by the police for being black. Hmmm. 🤔
@@TheChickenRiceBowl i don't mind it i took part in everything.
@@goutfromporkrinds9516 Are you a bot or something?
@@TheChickenRiceBowl nope a multimillionaire black man that needs 5 min. to spray my opinion seed on this episode.
I would love to visit the Japanese Island of Zamami because it reminds me of Jamaica.
Japanese people would probably be scared of you
@@bootiemeat8782 Jamaica all the way .
Bootie Meat why?
@@mbalishange7195 u know why😂😂
@@darkskindrake1314 😂😂😂😂😂
Looks So peaceful
I'm a American living in the Philippines, leaving the USA was a great move for me as well, no disrespect, you got me wanting to relocate again, one love
This interview was way too short. I really enjoyed listening to Chris’ journey 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yup
this video was way too long
@JAG So moving to an island to look for a more prosperous life away from the violence in America is quitting? You're prejudice is why black people want to move away no one wants to be around you negative views except other hateful people.
Love Chris's story. Inspiring and such a likeable guy. Best of luck to him!
This is an incredible story. Much blessings to this gentleman and his family.
Definitely absolutely 👌💯🙏🙏🙏remarkable
This reminds me of those exotic islands like the Bahamas, so beautiful
This channel should be called the enlightened inspiration channel. Each person you interview is someone I aspire to be. Thank you! God bless you and all the people you interview.
🙏🏿
Hey Ranzo!!! Thanks for sharing another great video. Blessings!!
Beautiful location, i would love to live in an area like this.
i also liked how he said to have realistic expectations--that's the mindset i'm having because i'm learning Japanese and desire teaching English one day, Jesus willing.
Amber Blossom Go after those dreams.
The Japanese would prefer teachers of English who don't speak Japanese; so don't break your back trying to learn Japanese before going for teaching in Japan. There's no need for that. What they want is fluent English speakers.
crushsatan She will eventually need to speak some japanese anyway to communicate with her coworker. Nothing is unnecesary.
@@johansoningmar8212 I'm telling her she can act on her dream right now.
@@johansoningmar8212 it's not necessary to get started.
These interviews are so amazing and interesting. I admire his courage to sell everything, up and leave IN TWO YEARS! Actually, I’m noticing that there are more and more people in the US willing to leave it for a better life somewhere else. My eyes are opening to other opportunities and options in life. He probably lost the 40lbs eating non GMO food because they’re not poisoning their own people with that crap. Anyway, good for him. Excellent Ranzo. Thank you again!
It's not courage it's leave or die
nothing to do with GMO. probably just ate decent meals and stop eating so much trash. america has an abundance on trashy foods
The story that US projects and tells itself is not the reality for many people who aren't rich. Yes, for people coming from a less-wealthy nation, it can be a new start, a chance for a better life. Over the recent years though, things seem to have gotten uglier. You can see how little social progress there is -especially as it relates to race. After 30 years I just don't see this changing much. Unreal. It's telling when you hear black people say they felt freer, safer, and more fulfilled after leaving the US -even with the bad encounters as Chris described (crotch grab WTH?)
Love this series. Really enjoying seeing all these talented and interesting people talking about their lives and how they made such big changes.
I was lucky enough to visit Japan in 2016 and thought it was wonderful.
Keep up the good work. 😊
Dr Khalid Mohamad said that America is hell on earth for black people. He wasn’t wrong when you see all these black people just moving out of the States just to have peace.
@tanio12 that's not true. i have japanese friends, so i just dissproved his theory...on a macro level--no enemies or friends, only interests....i haven't felt any difference in treatment from whites..they lump as foreigner gaijin
@tanio12 and I had my japanese 2nd wife abort our baby..Does that make our race bad? no, it's an individual matter.
@tanio12 These weebs online think Asia is the promise land
I did and best decision ever!!
Yep I left and never looked back. You are 💯 correct.
You can tell he has a good heart and is genuine. Thanks for this interview!
This video is very awe-inspiring!!! Mr. Chris Jones, and the Black Experience crew, thank you for this video!!!
People are literally taking moving to another country seriously. Lord mercy, how did I stumble across this. Great father. I'm a nature woman, and this is it!
I definitely am! I jus told my daughter this..
Lived there for a year and loved it. It’s so safe and for the most part people are very kind
@@martymcflyest2810 are you still there? How can I become a citizen?
I'm Nana I'm from Ghana, still living and looking for a love life.
Roxanne Extreme I agree but Japan is dying as a nation, sadly. Men are not having sex and the women aren’t having babies and many are marrying dolls or virtual objects in the internet. Drastic changes are needed in Japan or they’ll go extinct in two hundred years time!
This is one of my all time favourite Black Experience Japan videos! They could make make a great movie about this guy’s story. I really enjoyed this and found it inspiring. Didn’t even know there was a “first black samurai” lol. I love that he found the people overall very accepting. Can’t help but wonder if being surrounded by such an untouched beautiful landscape would influence the “warmth” he’s received from the locals. Black Artist farming in Japan! Good message too about not being afraid to reinvent yourself.
nodnarb5 The first black samurai was around 26,27 when he came there . He arrived at Japan in the middle of 150 year long civil war and happened to work for perhaps most popular samurai ODA Nobunaga for one year until Nobunaga was betrayed and ambushed by his right hand man AKECHI Mitsuhide. Some professor believe Nobunaga ordered his guys to decapitate him and made yasuke to deliver the head to his son so that Akechi would not be able to declare victory. His head nor body has not been found yet.
Nope. Keep his ass safe & away from cameras & the element of media from people
Great interview...Much respect! It’s very simple...if you are not happy where you are, then you have to do what you need to do. The island looks amazing. Keep building and sharing 🙌🏽
Im loving the establishing shots and seeing this channel grow. Keep it up!
now i know where to visit when i travel to japan
Ranzo, how did you find this remarkable man. Very intellectual and Intriguing. Island is Beautiful. His story is special. ❤💪🏾 Mr. Jones thank you for sharing your remarkable story.
That was an awesome interview. Thank you!!
I feel like in a lot of ways we are a carbon copy of one another. Just about every reason he named for moving out of the US is exactly why I moved to Europe 10 years ago. Best decision I made for me and my family. Also having boys, I too saw the writing on the wall. I have a much better experience and quality of life. My children receive a better education, and I was a public school teacher. My healthcare cost are half, universities are less expensive and I feel safer. Not only that, having moved, my eldest son has already taken school trips to 3 other countries. Moving has allowed my children to have much more of a worldly experience than if we'd stayed in the states. Like this brother I have no regrets. It was one of the best decisions I've made and definitely beneficial for my family. As well, it's nice to be treated as a person, as a man and not as "That Black man". I've been teaching for the last 8 years and have discovered that most if not all of the stereotypes and racism I faced in the US is self-contained. 95% of the things that I had to deal with being Black in the United States, Europeans had never even heard of or thought of Black people or culture in that manner.
I couldn't agree more.... people have no idea how much better it is outside of the states. European countries will not allow corporate to take advantage of their citizens. good luck.
DJ BX and SBR wow
What country are you living at ? It sounds wonderful !
(Fellow high school teacher here hihi...)
Thank you brother for another awesome video, really good interview much love ❤️
Sooo beautiful! This is an awesome story!! Thanks for sharing!
Dang, this was an amazing interview! Thanks for the great content ☺️✨
Fascinating interview, wonderful interviewee, loved every minute! Thanks for sharing
He was a great interview. I watched the entire video and never thought about how long it was and never walked away or even looked at my phone.
Great interview, great video.
Am inspired. Great words. Enjoyed watching the interview. All the best my man
I really enjoy watching all of the interviews you have done. Keep up the good work Ranzo.😊
Dang! This place, reminds me of a mixture of Japan, Hawaii, Samoa, with a touch of Cali. Never even heard of this place and now I really want to go!
Nicholas Fuller Now I really have to go 🤣
Nicholas Fuller Nope, I already made up my mind! ✌🏾☺️
@@SianaRepmad LOL! 😂 🤣😂 🤣
@@SianaRepmad Only place you're going is The Weave Shop loquacious 😂
Let's Go baby
Very interesting video. Love it. He needs to start his own TH-cam channel he’s very knowledgeable and his content is interesting.
Natalier Willwoods great idea. Learned a lot about Germany from American TH-cam vids
I love the intro and the video is looking super clean 👌🏾 Love the improvements!
I loved this interview. It was very informative.
you are good bro! I like the way you ask questions....you hit all the points. Keep it up
i'm like halfway through the video and i have not seen a single mosquito or fly or wasp or hornet or any other hell spawn on the camera. are there no insects on that island? that is absolutely incredible. maybe i'll go there one day.
🤭💯
What's great about zamami is that poisonous snake ''Habu'' which is common in other okinawan islands don't live there. Probably because zamami was below see level at one point.
I really enjoyed watching this video, the island is so beautiful and Chris is very intelligent. He and his family are living their dream life for sure. Thanks for the video and expanding our view of Japan.
Great video. You should do a part 2 and showcase the island as much as possible.
Talk to any Black man that has struggled due to ignorance and when you see this vid you will understand how powerful this vid is in giving people hope! Please continue to post. Money does not make you happy, I have been the only brotha in the work place many times, but its how you are treated that vibe you feel. Money is for America, not everyone bows down to the mighty dollar. You left for a better quality of life. We work hard in America, but look at our quality of life. I'm in a work environment that is Caucasian and a lot of money, but it does not mean the quality of life is better! For them yes but for people like me I would have to say no! Thank you for your post.
Such an amazing video!!!!! I'm proud of Chris for his accomplishments n his families journey.
he is cool
"Be persistent". Indeed. Some of the greatest and most society altering discoveries, inventions, art, and so on were created by people who stayed persistent - people well into their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Chris is an Amazing guy. He was my roommate in San Leandro CA and I vividly remember in 2015/16 he was talking about Nature, the environment and basically get out of the U S
He's a great humble & physical fit guy you will ever meet.
I'm very happy for him, his a hardworker and no suprises he told the bold step to move his wife & kids to Japan
I wish him greater success and maybe one day I will meet him again.
Anezi. I now live in Philadelphia
looking forward to seeing this man's project come to fruition..
Wonderful foresight . And thank you for sharing your experiences ‼️
Great job Ranzo, you're getting better and better
Well done Chris.
I love your courage!
Someone in the comment section said this guy sounds like he's delusional. He's not he's just speaking his truth
Facts
It's the truth. I can relate having moved to Europe over 10 years ago. I have a much better experience and quality of life. Definitely a piece of mind and peace I didn't have before.
@@djbxandsbr451 what country if I may ask :)
How is he delusional??
Janet Holmes Your comment doesn’t make sense, seems to me that you’re a loser.
Fantastic! Great guy! Australia here.
Your courage is admirable.
Great interview!! I was born in Okinawa and often wonder what it would be like to go back and live there.
Been telling African Americans buy yourself land in africa Ghana ,Kenya , Rwanda...beautiful places to invest ...you Don't have to move there but make a point of visiting experience change...You just might surprise yourself .
@@samsam-ko3fp The chinese are investing in America too lol
Are you African?

@@samsam-ko3fp you're ignorant. You ain't fighting any Chinese for lands in Africa. Stop spreading this misinformation. Africa ain't one country too.
Yes, they should.
That's AMAZING! To bring and plant a variety of produce to the island, SO REWARDING!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I really think it's ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. This will significantly lend to the quality of you and your family's life, along with the community's for long after!
The island looks beautiful
Great 👍
Maaaan that is so cool!
Great place and story! I also moved recently to Japan with all my family after 15 year of China!
Very informative. I hope that this young man will have much success!
Sometimes u really have no idea where u gonna end up in the future . God bless you man
You are an inspiration Sir. Be Blessed ~from Virginia, USA.
Great interview. I love that him and his wife are giving there boys a better chance in the world. I’m from California or should I say calabama (those from Cali know what I mean). Thanks for sharing your journey.👍
Imhotep Genius cali was Mexico so history is repeating its self
Damn! This is a fabulous interview with this brother, I’m showing this to blacks on my job. God bless the brother and his family👍🏿

Africa
I've been thinking the same. Africa is where its at
MisClaudia Ren'e hurry and leave that hell hole!!!
@Imhotep Genius Yay🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
You will feel at home in Africa.
Not sure about Ranzo but Bun B could definitely be his brother.
Hannibal Barca yes indeed he ressembles the great Bun B a lot.
I thought that was funny as Chris and Ranzo look *nothing* alike.
@@Mwoods2272 that's what I thought
@@Mwoods2272 I know right. Stereotypical.
You can throw Rampage in there too...
Love it. This place looks beautiful
Congrats, brother! I lived and worked in Nagoya, Japan for two years. Beautiful experience. I highly recommend other brothers- particularly American- to travel and explore. The freedom and love you will experience is limitless. God bless.
Wow, I'd love to visit this place sometime. Absolutely stunning.
Would love to take you
Don't visit the island my brother is staying you evil Neanderthal
Me too
I like the idea of moving away from the evils of America towards black people.🤔🤔🤔. Awesome.
He mentioned not wanting his children to deal with what America does, not what black, Mexican, Asian, people do. You may not notice it cos you are obviously not black, not targeted to be criminalized, and not media influenced on to be looked upon as bad people to distract you from the evil elite who actually run political policy in America to run the world politically. We never agreed to the Vietnam war but yet we we were there, we never agreed to fight in Iraq yet we are still there, mandatory vaccinations that have been proven to cos autism, and the ingredients of the vaccines would terrify you, and the people who are in the know has temporarily stopped it from being forced on the poor, gmo food, and beef, fake food, and a written policy to eliminate 2 billion disposable people by promoting the lgbt life style, flooding black community's with drug to get the money to fight there secret wars in South America. And yet I love the few freedoms we still have here that are slowly and quietly going away. I served 21 years in the military kid and I'm certain you are blue pill.
(It's a reference from the movie: the Matrix). You don't know what's happening before your very eye's. I don't advocate a mass exodus of poor black people to be a burden to other nor do we want to because the greatest opportunity for becoming rich is still here in America . But we are not blind to what's up here also.
75,000 black women every year being sex trafficked and missing the highest number of any culture, Black market organ harvesting and innocent killing of black people in the streets of America and the narrative in the media is street crime, but white people have been caught on film posing as street criminals in black area's shooting black people and switch vehicles and leaving the area. It's believed that these are off duty police officers because these mass shootings of black on black crime seem to be happening on holidays like memorial day (criminal don't wait till holidays to do mass shootings and they don't target innocent prime organ donation victims. Criminals shoot at other criminals and not in mass numbers.
I believe the man wanted to move to please his wife and felt she would get less heat as a mixed interracial couple somewhere else instead of this racists country. We take the good with the bad here, but we always want the best for our children and we highly consider the desires of our wives. Whatever my wife was and where her home was i would consider it for her. But as for me i love the middle class of our culture and i love the musicians, sports figures, actors, business owners, good etc etc, but I would love more than all that to see my women happy.
*NOW THAT'S WHAT'S UP*
Hitler said he learned it from the Americans when our president of the time asked him why he was so hard on the Jews. Nothing can compare to American racism and it's history and it's present. Know more talk sell what you are saying to someone else. Put your maga hat on and go believe that clown. Although I have never voted the dem's and never will.
super una
Neither did Obama his minority agenda was mostly for the lgbt community and they have bills now on the books to fight for reparations and they have been given married status tax breaks for being unjustly treated on your boy Obamas watch (fact checked) . We never ask for anything but a level playing field. But i say don't ask for that either: i say don't hate the player, and don't hate the game, but learn the rules of the *game* and find the loop holes and keep hustling and win.
GAME: guts, action, methodology, execution .
Game: is strategy for life, and hustle: is a spirit of entrepreneurialship .
Back in American history fisherman would give whites 10 cent for a bucket of worms, and would give blacks 5 cents for the same buck of worms. Obviously the black guy had to work harder, but some brutha's developed what we call game for the hustle, and hustle/ game is synonymous for *strategy* .
They learned that if you stuck a steaked (pointed on one end) two by four in the soft wet soil and rubbed the top of it in a grinding motion it would mimic the vibration of the blind mole-rat , and the worms would dig themselves to the surface to be easily picked up and the brutha's would double the buckets of worms to level or best the playing field. Hustlers don't ask for hand outs we get to the 💰$ of money by learning the blueprint to the game of life.
Peace out i got some "No limit Holdem" to go play later here on the west coast *we hustle in California and we got the game and knowledge for it*
Adam and eve lived in the garden of Eden says the bible, and it was watered by 4 connecting streams.
I take the metaphoric view that my personal garden of Eden is watered by 4 stream of income.
Peace out: West coast California 💰💰💰💰💰.
I'm from Cali. God bless you Chris.
America is not evil----bad neighborhoods in some area,best to move away 😁
We all need to find a good community or location that help shape our life for the better
I really enjoyed everything. Thanks for sharing. My girlfriend was in the Air Force & told a the beauty & customs of Okinawa, Japan. Simply beautiful & God bless you'll
What a legend ! Good on you Chris... As someone that moved to Tokyo a few years ago to give my family a better life i can appreciate what you've done.. You've just done it in a far more stunning place ;-)
This is phenomenal! 💪🏾
Damn Bun B !!! It’s amazing to see these people in far flung places. Wow! Keep up the great work.
My literal thought when I first saw him. Lol. 🤘🏾
Thank you for this video, Chris is very inspirational.
Love this video had to subscribe to the channel thanks for posting
Wow his story is so amazing. I'm so proud to see a black man succeed like this. Honestly to believe in himself so much to put his children first and his wife. I'm literally crying right now. I pray more men become like him.
1:39 I thought I was looking at Jamaica for a second
this is awesome man! i just noticed, it's difficult to see this guys journey. could you post your guests contact/page information to learn more about them?? and so they get more exposure. keep up the good work brotha!
Great video in hearing his experience. Thanks for sharing and being authentic!
Great Production!
Keep Up the great work !
i've seen so many of these videos and it seems like the majority of the people interviewed happen to be artists, it's really cool to see!!
The decision was woow!! Have been watching behind bars and i feel you made the best decision.
A very intelligent brother, keep the grind, you'll succeed at whatever you chooses to endeavor in.
-"Is that your brother? "
-"Sort of"
Finally I understand why black people call each other "brother"?
Guy's there is no such thing as a Black Person. All people come from somewhere.If we use this term then I guess everybody should be referred to as a color and if that's the case 80 Percent of the world is Black...Time to wake up.
@@darrenjones2396 illusion
Not all black people has the same origin.. the people from the usa, caribean islands en south america..(brougt on slaveships) are not the same as somalian or kenyan or south africans. Just sayin.. Semitic negroes and Hamites are different people.
@Nikki McLean 🤣🤣 16.2 2020
@Nikki McLean you dont have common sense. Wake up girl. And btw its brown people with different shades of brown.. If you still want to identify people by color.
Awesome! I have lived on the main island Okinawa for 14 years & have visited Zamami, Aka & Tokashiki many times, it is amazingly beautiful. Chris made the best choice!
Great content champ. Keep it up.
