Girls Day Out, Final Stop...Kokusai Street

They had these nifty bike taxis on Kokusai, we didn't try it but should have just for the experience of it. Kokusai is a mile long road with tons of food, vendors and markets.

I LOVE the sanshin. When I first heard the sound it creates, I was a little put off. But now, I really like it. It is a bit "twangy" but so relaxing. I believe that it is distinct to Okinawa and most of the time, covered with Habu skin (like this one).

Mango Kit Kats?!! Who knew?

I found these yummy looking hot dog thing-a-ma-jiggers at a gas station we took a quick peek into; hungry?

A sashimi and seafood market off one of the side streets of Kokusai.

A cute little grandma pushing her wheelbarrow filled with ripe juicy apples to sell.

Ok well, apparently Kokusai street was not a big hit with anyone...but I liked it. :)

Hey, the pictures were very cool.
It looks as though you had a blast.

If nothing else, just to have some time to yourself with a good friend.
