Okinawa

When I was 11-12 years old,I lived in Oki-Yomitan Village in Okinawa, Japan. Those were some of the happiest days of my life, and I try to carry a piece of Okinawa in my heart everyday. The people of Okinawa were some of the nicest people I have ever known, and their genuine kindness toward an American kid has always been important to me. I can only hope that everyone has the opportunity to meet the Other and form a meaningful friendship the way I did.
