Makishi Park
2 Makishi, Naha 900-0013
On my first day in Okinawa, as i sit down for lunch at Makishi Market, a gentleman in his 60's sits right across from me.. and nods and smiles in acknowledgement. As a tourist and first timer in Japan i fumble with my menu, and as i am adjusting my palette to the delicacy of my first Japanese meal in Japan, the stranger walks away with another nod and a endearing smile. Little did i know then, that he had paid for my meals as well, and he would not give me a chance to thank him. An unconditional gesture of kindness.
