This link will take you to the information page for this particular trip to check it out! We went to Okinawa last summer (June 2007) and learn about Okinawa (formerly known as Ryukyu Kingdon):
1) Visiting the former palace "Shuri-jo" for the KING.
2) Listening to the civilian survivor from Okinawa landwar between Japan and the US in June 1945
3) Attending Okinawa traditional performance show.
4) Visiting one of the most beautiful aquarium 'Churaumi.'
5) Visiting all the main sites of final between Japanese(Okinawans) and Americans.
6) Visiting University of Ryukyu to learn about Okinawa's present and future.
7) Visiting one of the Japan's largest 'limestone cave' "Gyokusendo."
etc. etc. etc.......
GTS was assited by Chicago Okinawan's Association, Consulate General of Japan at Chicago, Okinawa Prefestural Goverment, Consulate General of USA at Okinawa, University of Ryukyu and other local churches, news paper companies and GTS's friends. I'm not sure what we can do in December but going to the tropical zone in December is THE BEST! though may not be able to swim as we did in June.
