Okinawa, Culture, Fashion

I don’t normally get involved in reality TV shows because I can’t remember to watch every week. Sometimes, though, I get caught up during the “marathons” that run for an entire day or weekend. I did that recently with America’s Next Top Model although I have no idea why I was so fascinated. Maybe it was the international location, Japan. I’d met a sweet, elderly Japanese woman from Okinawa while I was visiting Hawaii two years ago; the all day marathon rerun of that season of ATNM sparked my memory and I was hooked.

As a matter of fact, I’ve been curious about Japan ever since then. I’d love to learn about the ceremonial tea service as the models did on ANTM. Oh, and sushi! There is no place around here to get sushi. The woman I met in Hawaii encouraged me to try sushi; I’d never eaten before. I couldn’t believe how wonderful it was! I just never expected to like it as much as I did.

I’ve done my research and I figure since Japan is so close to Hawaii, that would be a great “extra” stop the next time we’re out in Hawaii visiting my son. Now I just need to learn more about the culture and fashion. Especially the fashion!

  • I have an irrational fear of the word sushi. Of course I have many irrational thoughts/fears though.

  • Sushi can be scary. Have you tried it while heavily medicated?
