Okinawa may be lacking a professional baseball team, but that doesn’t mean you can’t catch pro sports on the island. The B. League, Japan’s professional basketball league, tipped off another season Sept. 29, and Okinawa’s very own Ryukyu Golden Kings got in on the action.
 

The island of Okinawa reminds me a lot of my country, the Philippines. It feels like home to me because of the exotic tropical ambiance of this island.

Visit any popular tourist destination in Japan, and it’s likely that you won’t be too far away from a Geocache. However, unless you’re looking for it, the chances are that you won’t even notice.
