The last weeks I have been extremely busy in the lab. I basically just commuted between my bed and the lab and didn’t even have time to update the blog, although I had a couple of new food experiences and saw some nice things in Tokyo and Kamakura. However, awaiting two mor busy, busy weeks, I thought I should treat myself to a short break and spend a few days in paradise.
Okinawa is a truly awesome place. After 2.5 h flight from Tokyo to the southwest I arrived in a very hot and humid place. Full of tropical plants and animals. Okinawa is extremely rich in species and is sometimes referred to as the Japanese Galapagos.
A friend of mine is doing a Postdoc here at the Okinawa Institute for Science and technology. A quite new (and rich) research institute – right at the beach.
Okinawa also has the second largest aquarium in the world. I hope we will have time to make it there.
