JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Hubby was at a local super market and ran into a sale on international beers. With him being a beer drinker, especially after working outside in the hot afternoon sun, he thought he’d give them a try.

The originating countries of the beers are (from left to right): Czechoslovakia, Myanmar, Russia, Austria, and Greece.

NOTE: What hubby didn’t realize until he arrived at home is that the Russian beer is of the non-alcohol variety!

Even though it hasn’t been officially announced, the tropical cyclone season is bearing down on us again. And even though we haven’t been personally affected on island (yet), it looks like it’s going to be another whopper of a season. China is currently dealing with a record breaking typhoon for the month of May. Earlier this month the local deigo trees were full of fiery red blossoms. Local folklore has it that when that particular variety of tree overly-blossoms than a hardy typhoon season is upon us. Keep tuned to find out if it’s true!
