Shells - Toguchi Beach



Sometimes after lunch and it's nice out, I take a walk on the beach outside my office. Here are some interesting shells that I have picked up. I am not a collector, but I just pick up interesting looking shells.

What kind of shell are the two stick-looking things in the middle? lol

Diner "E" said he noticed when he visited Yomitan, and Okinawa in general, he noticed hardly anyone swimming at the beaches. Is there a reason for that? The waters sure look beautiful and similar to ours.

What kind of dangers are there at Okinawan beaches? Jellyfish? Wana? Sharks?

HwnOki,
Yeah lasted only 4 months. Unfortunately all the efforts to make things run smoothly in Guam took its toll on me and I asked to return back to Honolulu. Still keeping my eyes open for opportunities though, hopefully one day soon I'll be there in the land of andagi.

pomai - All of what you said about why there's not too much swimming at any beach here. What swimming that is done is usually in netted sandy areas. Get some mean critters here in the rocks, reefs and waters. Scuba divers have no problems with their wetsuits, so it's a popular sport here and they go all over.

would take years to find that many shells around Waikiki. Remember before, some local people use to find enough shells that they kept them in display cases, even.

Nate, I just found a bunch of your posts in my SPAM mail box! I retrieved all of them though. Your comments are now showing up on my blog.

I'm not sure what's happening. Try check the eMail settings on your end. I'll look into the control panel on my side.

DDL, try check your eMail "bulk" or "Spam" folder. Nate's stuff might be in there.
