5-day trip to Okinawa

Kokusai-dori is a must-see, no doubt about it.
1. Kokusai-dori is still bustling with traffic at night.
2. I bought really sweet and cheap strawberries at MaxValu 24/7 supermarket, only NT$150 a box.
3. The souvenir shop on Kokusai-dori is so cute and pairs well with the local awamori.
4. The pudding is a must-try, available at every convenience store and supermarket. It tastes like the double-skin milk tea from Shunde, Guangdong, and is delicious.
5. Don Quijote is not only tax-free, but also offers discounts on orders over NT$30,000.
6. Gyokusen-do Cave, a long cave. The guide said it takes about 30 minutes to walk through. It's dark and wet, but worth the experience.
7. A must-wait for Numu Ramen in Okinawa. I personally think it's much better than Ichiran.
By the way, the line at Ichiran was even longer this time than at Numu. I also highly recommend the pan-fried dumplings at Numu Ramen. They're tiny, super hot, crispy, and delicious! 😋
