A weekend in Okinawa

Here is from my tour called the Northern Highlights in which we went to a glass blowing place, the pineapple wine factory, fruit land, and the Orion beer factory.

This was all made from glass so I thought I should get a picture.















This game cost $3 and you throw ping pongs into the bin and try and get it into the cup.  You will the cup and save yourself about $15.





This is the area where they blew the glass and heated it all up.  It takes about 48 hours for the glass to cool down.






This is one of the pieces you could buy in the store.  It has flowers all over it and am sure it cost over a hundred dollars.














This was our lunch in which we got to cook it ourselves.






If you paid $2 dollars you could get this food and the birds would fly onto your arm and eat it.  Pretty bird, pretty bird.....I just thought he was really quiet.












Here is some good ol' pigs face.  I don't know what their fascination is with pigs but it's pretty sick.














Yes, there is a snake in that glass. It is called habu saki in which you take some pretty strong alcohol and mix it with snake venom.  People say if you take a shot of this your liver shuts down.  They say you take a drink from this and your good for the night.












The good stuff.







Yea I am just chilling with my beer in the Orion factory.  It's going to be weird coming home and not being legal in the states.














There were some stines in the factory so I thought papa might want to take a look at those.






On Friday we were separated into teams and we were the poisonous dart frogs.  We had to play dodgeball, have a relay, and pass a banana with our feet.













Sofia sent me some Toy Story gummies so I thought I would share my excitement for this gift.















The summer is coming close to an end but I am trying to enjoy the rest of my time here on the island.

Love lots,
Jake
