The next day we got a late start but it was worth it because we started with lunch at an Italian place at a local strip mall. Yomitan or Okinawa or wherever is amazing because its the first place in Japan I've seen that has a strip mall and parking lots.
I had the first mint ice cream I've ever tasted in Japan
Boiz on the way to the beach
We spent the rest of the day chilling out at the local beach which was only about a twenty minute walk away. It was beautiful because there were weird rock formations everywhere but it was impossible to swim because there was a disgusting amount of seaweed and it was freezing.
We spent the afternoon relaxing on the sand and climbing the rocks. All of the grassy places had signs that said 「ハブに注意」or "beware of the habu" (those dangerous snakes). It was cold out so habu probably weren't a big problem but it was scary seeing as the day before we saw what habu poison does to your body: it makes people's skin melt away sort of like acid.
Before going back to the hostel we stopped at the supermarket to buy cakes and decorating supplies. We celebrated a girl at our hostel, Mako's, birthday. Besides cake Tadashi the hostel owner and Mako and her sister Yuki made okonomiyaki and we all shared it.
We finished the night with a lot of Jenga (record: 31 levels before it crashed :O)
