Okinawa As we stepped ashore in Okinawa our eyes covered the country side searching and expecting signs of a past war. Here was fought the most destructive battle in the history of man. But the scars are healed and life goes on in its primitive way as if it had never been interrupted by the hell it has seen. Okinawa, remembered bitterly by many and desired by few, has a charm found no place else in the Orient. Every nook and hill is dotted with tiny gardens producing an existence for its toiler. As numerous as the garden plots are the traditional burial caves, some hundreds of years old, others waiting for their history to begin. 266

But there is fun to be had on Okinawa. The glass factories offered a rough product that attracted many buyers. Exchanges were well stocked with gifts for the Christmas shoppers thousands of miles from home. Most everyone found their way to Naha and in turn to the famous Tea House of the August Moon. Here many were introduced to Japanese style dining and entertainment for the first time. Okinawa is rich in the culture of Japan, giving a small preview of Japanese life to MIDWAY-ites. 267
