Whoops?

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 21, 2007, 10:50 PM
I'm leaving Japan soon, so I wanted to do something touristy before I left. We were in Okinawa and I decided to visit one of the castles near White Beach. I'd planned on being gone for an hour or two, as it was only a little ways away, and being the fool that I am neglected to bring my tripod. The cab ride shouldn't have gone over 2000 yen, so when it got too high, I realized something was amiss. The cabbie was either taking me for a ride (figuratively as well as literally) or wasn't aware of the castle close by. I asked where he was going and he said Shiju Castle, and elaborated by saying it was in Naha. By this time my evening was pretty much wasted if I didn't do anything, so I figured I'd just go along with it. The ride was 14,000 yen round trip. That's 140 american, roughly. Yay. On the bright side, the cabbie didn't just wait for me, he came along and acted as a translator, which helped quite a bit.

Without the tripod, the pictures probably didn't turn out well since it was well past sunset by this time. I haven't processed them yet, so I can't say for sure.

Can't even shout, can't even cry
The Gentlemen are coming by.
Looking in windows, knocking on doors,
They need to take seven and they might take yours.
Can't call to mom, can't say a word,
You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.
