[沖繩] 相見歡。之一。

March 25, 2007
Okinawa, Nice to Meet You!

The shuttle bus left Naha Airport at local time around 11:00 am.
My 5-day trip in Okinawa started at this moment.
As soon as the bus left Naha Airport, the ocean showed up.

當地時間上午十一點左右，接駁巴士從那霸機場出發，
為期五天的冲繩之旅從這個時候開始。
車子才離開機場馬上就看到海了。


Beach nearby Sea Park Hotel 無人的海邊

I felt acquainted with the air and scenes here.
It seemed that I was in Ken-Ting National Park.
The boards of various advertisements were written in "Kanji".
Surely we can read Chinese characters with no difficulty .

好熟悉的氣味和風景，感覺自己好像到了墾丁～
迎面而來的各式招牌或廣告用的都是漢字，
沒有困難直接就看懂了。


The Meeting of Love 海浪與沙灘

Wow! MacDonald, Kentucky, Mos Burger, and Family Mart~
Neither foreign nor strange, it is the way as we used to see in Taiwan.
Am I in a dream? I doubt if I did fly four hundred miles far away from Taipei.

哇！麥當勞肯德基摩斯漢堡全家便利商店，通通都跟台灣一個樣子！
突然有種作夢的感覺～
懷疑自己真的離家數百里了嗎？


Coral Landed on the Beach 定居在岸上的珊瑚

Camera still lies in the baggage, I cannot take pictures without it.
The only thing I do is staring at the beautiful scenes and imagining happily...
what we will have for lunch after we settle down the baggage.

It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes on bus, we finally arrived the "Seaside House".
Something missing with accommodation for me, nothing to do but wait.
Thanks for Sue's mercy, I placed my baggage in Sue's room and left for lunch with Ruth.
It was 2:00 pm.

相機還在行李箱中，沒得拍。
只能用雙眼貪心的看著，一邊開心的想像放好行李後午餐要吃什麼。
一個小時二十分鐘。
車子先把我們送到大會提供的住宿地點。
住宿的事出了點小狀況，聯絡又有一點點不順利，
終於可以放心吃午餐時，已經是下午兩點了。


Somebody Has Been Here 到此一遊的記號

Six o'clock in the evening is the registration time for all participants.
We still have some time to walk around.
For sure I have my camera on hand, we start towards the beach.

The sky was a little bit cloudy, lucky me, it did not rain.
The ocean confused me with his various faces in blue - heavy, light, dark or bright...
Few people stayed on the beach in this afternoon.
We enjoyed a luxurious walk and leisure time along the coast.

晚上六點是與會人員的報到時間，
我們還有一點兒空檔可以到處走走逛逛。
當下換了涼鞋，揹起相機，往海灘走去。
天空有一點兒陰，不過沒下雨。
海則藍得令人迷惑。各種層次的藍，遠。近。深。淺。
偌大的沙灘人影稀疏，我們也樂得獨享這一片悠閒。
