Title: Japan Island pics some more Skyline too
Post by: venomousr1993 on September 01, 2008, 04:48:12 AM
Thought I would share a few quick photos I took this weekend around the Island here in Okinawa.  Most are along the western shoreline.  The falls is Hiji Falls up on the Northern end of the Island.  At the bottom are a few shots of the Skyline...I am still trying to clean her up in between out crazy schedule at work.  Enjoy

Mt Fuji on mainland Japan a few weeks ago.

That was a choice you had to ponder. [roll]

That should be a never ending kicking. [cheeky]

I was waiting for a job offer to come somewhere overseas..they waited too long to make the offer so I had to go with my backup plan.  No worries on my end though.  I'm enjoying Austin for teh time being.  Okinawa or someplace even better..i.e.: Europe..will come back up again next year!   ;)

If you come out here, you have to make a trip across Hwy 2 and down the Northeast side of the island on Hwy 70.  Hwy 2 is an amazing road with tight corners, quick apexes and fast DR turns....I keep it in 2nd and 3rd and keep it in between 5-7k rpm in the Skyline.

Umm, I'd be coming by way of ship. No moto, no car. And, I don't think the taxi driver would let me drive.
