This Soba is Makin' Me Thirsty!

The Okinawans are thirsty people. I've come to this conclusion not after hours of sociological study, but rather... well... see for yourself.
Vending machines like these are everywhere! And, when I say, "everywhere," I mean... EVE-RY-WHERE!!! You'll see them on almost every corner, and occasionally, they're even more plentiful than that. Sometimes you'll even see one in what seems to be the middle of nowhere... next to a fence by an empty field... in a back alley... Like I said, they're everywhere.


Have I made my point yet? No? OK... here's more...



It does get pretty... um... warm here. And with the humidity, perhaps so many vending machines become necessary. Don't want to get dehydrated. The drink selection seems truly endless... they've canned and bottled everything you can imagine... fruit drinks, sodas, teas, waters, coffee... Coffee? Yes, coffee... in a can... If you can drink it, it's sold here in Okinawa in festive packaging that's hard to resist.

Stay tuned for more culinary adventures...
