Wow, can you believe exactly 1 year has passed since our karate Sensei and fellow Okinawan members came out to Australia to visit us? The days spent drinking and training, sightseeing and sharing jokes, felt like it was only yesterday. The realistic possibility of getting together again within the year or two seems unimaginable, as likely as us not ever laughing at Craig’s karaoke or Ordering-in-Japanese skills ever again = Zilch!
My days of fantasising about sexy women have long disappeared and replaced with dreaming about returning to Okinawa. It has always been a special place for us, a spot where you have to go to feel and absorb the culture and customs to grasp what it is that makes it so special.
Hopefully, new memories and experiences in Okinawa can be made soon, rather than forever bringing up and talking about old ones....
