Joined my sister and brother-in-law on a short 5-day trip to Okinawa last week.  The trip did recall memories of my trip to Hawaii 4 years ago, that’s still one of my best trips thus far.  I once again got to see the boundless horizon of the ocean, which is becoming somewhat of an annual summer tradition for me.  I also got to see some stars on a clear night in a somewhat less light-polluted area, but it’s nothing compared to what I saw at Hawaii!  Will I ever get to see the Milky Way with my naked eyes again?!

Japanese people seems to love coffee, we came across many cafes on our trip, but never tried them as my sister and brother-in-law were more interested in traditional and authentic Japanese food like sushi and ramen.  Nevertheless, I got some inspirations from the cafe culture and my recent dream of opening up a cafe became clearer.

Feeling somewhat rested and refreshed after the short trip, I’m now slowly getting back to my daily and weekly work routine with a seemingly more purposeful and hastened pace.
