Reminds me of my parents

[GeorgiaMarySampson]

I was in Okinawa around 1961-62, I miss the place pretty much! But I was too young to remember all those sweet old days and places in Okinawa where I had been to..... Now it's sort of nostalgic when I watch the vids...!

@Rao665 well i live in texas... yeah when i typed country i meant countryside.

[Rao665]

@Maximo20009 Lol, well differentiate between country and countrySIDE. When people say

"country" I'm assuming a Nation-state. And as far as the Okinawan countryside, That is a rare thing to see.

@Rao665 if you don't understand my comment than watch the video again. it said that many young Okinawan are leaving the country part of Okinawa and moving to the cities there (like Naha). i never even mentioned Tokyo... and yeah i do like anime but I'm no freak. Just because i like something with a passion does not make me a freak. if you still don't get it... well i can't make it any easier to understand.

@Maximo20009 lol...umm Okinawa is a prefecture of Japan which is a country, and there are cities in Okinawa.So i am confused by your comment. In fact Naha city is the densest city in Japan. Even Tokyo is not as dense as Naha. Are you Okinawan? It's a nice little island. If your one of those "anime freaks" you can forget about it.

@Rao665 well... my comment has nothing to do with america. it has to do with the fact that a lot of young Okinawan's don't live in the country even though its so beautiful. they prefer to live in the cities.

@Maximo20009 just like Japantown, Tokyo Town, and Little Tokyo are weird names. My point is, Okinawa is America Lite. It is also Japan Lite, since the culture is somewhat different. But it is VERY Americanized.

@Rao665 ? americantown? that's a weird name for a place.
