    I remember doing these 100 mile or more bicycle rides and the traffic on the weekend could be jammed up. especially on holidays. I was glad I was on a bicycle. I later added a Harley and still have that motorcycle to this day.

    I was there 61 years ago with M 3/9 3rd Mar. Div. At camp Hansen for over a year. Although during that time we would go on a ship while on floating battalion to Hong Kong, Japan, and the Philippines. We were almost sent to Thailand because things were kicking up there. But anyway I used to pull liberty in kin village quite frequently. Liberty ended at midnight so it was called Cinderella Liberty. There were bars pretty much all over town. One thing I remember is that things were a little crazy then. Certain bars were claimed by certain units or companies of Marines. If a Marine from one unit would go to a bar claimed by another he would get asked who he was with. There would be tensions between them. But overall Kim village was okay. It was almost as hot and humid as Vietnam.

    It looks scary driving there with the lanes opposite of the States'. I learned to drive there back in the 90s and I was comfortable. Now at 65 when I go back there to home base, I am kind of doubtful if I can drive there again. Thank you for the Okinawa posts.

    Thos brought back so many good memories of my time out there. I was stationed on camp schwab right next to henoko from April 2006 to October 2008. I miss it so much. People were always amazing. When I found out the Marine air base was being related there, I was heart broken. It doesn't belong there. That being said, I absolutely understand why locals don't want Americans there, besides a long list of other reasons.

    Uchinaaguchi is so precious, I just hope they simplify the number of their adapted kanas to make it more practical or just use romaji, this way it'll be much easier to attract new learners abroad to help preserved this cultural treasure. Anyway, I hope Okinawans and all islanders of the Rykyu (Looshoo) kingdom preserve their regional languages for future generations!

    I love learning about the ghost stories of Okinawa. I don’t know if you remember, but I left a comment when you were giving a video tour around Naha, thanking you for going through my old neighborhood, which allowed me to see my old house from childhood. I have a possible ghost story or two about living there. Our house was right beside a tomb. The night that we moved in, my mother’s toe stuck out, and she said it felt like someone was pulling it. We lived there for a year and a half, and for that entire time, her toe stuck out and felt like it was being pulled. The day we left that house and moved onto the base, it stopped! She thought it was a spirit from the tomb, playing a trick on her. I have another ghost story but will save it for another day.

    This brings back a lot of memories. I spent many nights out in Kinville. It changed so much from the first time I was stationed at Camp Hansen in 1980 through 6 more deployments there over 28 years in the Marines. A lot of those decrepit buildings were filled with Marines every night in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Then the dollar lost value and most of the clubs disappeared. I’ve been in a lot of the places shown, as well as the ones that used to be where empty lots and the park are now.

    The first time I swam in the ocean was at the beach in Kin Village, 1962. I don't remember the beach looking like that plus there wasn't any people on the beach. 1962 to 1964 was such a good time to be on Okinawa. I went back for a visit in 2017, and was disappointed to see how it had changed. Thanks for the video. :-)

    I went to Mercy Intermediate School from 1964 to 1967. I lived about a ten minute walk from Sam's Anchor Inn toward the East China Sea in the Oceanview Housing Area. There was a Special Forces presence right behind the school. There was also a single quonset PX. Some of my teachers were: Ms. Bischoff ( who married a Major Clark of the Special Forces),Ms.Barnes, Mr Nelson and Mr Simpson. I walked or rode my bicycle to school. I guess developers couldn't resist the open playground with basketball court and baseball field. It's no surprise that this area developed into commercial space in land hungry Okinawa. Thank you for the update of this, my childhood stomping grounds.
