JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Weekly Hogen (Okinawan Dialect) :
English – I’m getting hungry
Japanese – himojikunatta (???????)
Hogen – yaashikunatton?(???????)

Well the weekend following Katrina we had a typhoon hanging around the area. And once again, the weekend following Rita, we have another tropical cyclone at our door. This one has the very unusual name of Longwang, the Chinese God of Rain. To get a better view of the size of this monster check out the satellite imagery. Okinawa is that little line of dots to the NW of the eye of Longwang.
