Delicious


The practice of having barbecue grills in the middle of the table is said to have originated in Korea, but it is also very common in Japan. In these settings, people gather around the table and grill the food themselves while eating, promoting better communion with their companions.

This picture was taken at a hotel in Okinawa, Japan during a school trip I was part of. We grilled meat, seafood, and vegetables, and dipped them in different types of sauces afterward. It was awesome!

Pink bougainvillea flowers in Okinawa, Japan.

This picture was taken on a bright afternoon at the Gyokusendo Kingdom Village, a theme park which is a must-see if you are in Okinawa. The park features traditional Okinawan arts, crafts, and performances, as well as nature exhibits and historical buildings. It's a great place to experience the ancient Ryukyuan culture of Okinawa.
