The travel package that we bought included the Japanese or Western breakfast. On this first mourning at Marriott, we've decided to go for the Japanese style. We couldn't believe that it was such a BIG breakfast that it even had fried salmon.
Our only destination for this day was to the Okinawa Aquarium - It is the biggest Aquarium in Asia. Again, it was raining heavily and the Aquarium was friendly enough to offer free umbrellas to all visitors to walk from the parking lots to the Aquarium. After yesterday's windy + rainy day, we were prepared to get wet again. So we were not afraid to run under the little umbrella. =) It was actually a fun and sweet moment ^3^

Please excuse the visitor in this photo. He was shocked by the heavy rain....

There were different kinds of weird fish here. This is the funniest fish face I've ever seen... and below is what I called a snake-fish.. I think this is how they spend the rest of their lives... (Stuck in the sand)
We've visited the main hall of the aquarium (the largest tank in Asia) that could fit in 2 whales and many other fish. It was stunning!!
In here, we could have a peaceful mind just by looking at the fish swimming in the big tank. Due to the heavy rain, the dolphin show had been cancelled and several other attractions were closed. So, this added one more reason for us to visit Okinawa again XD.
For dinner, we went for HOT POT. After getting all wet in the rain, we wanted to eat something hot for dinner. Unlike Hong Kong-style hot pot where we cooked the food in a ready-made soup base, the famous Okinawa Aguu Pork Hot Pot had pure water as the "soup"-base and we just dipped it with the specialty sauce made out of some vinegar + sesame paste before eating. That's it. The unique taste of Aguu Pork.
It was my birthday and he had prepared some fireworks + a little birthday cake for me. Despite the wind, we played outside the balcony. It was a very memorable birthday. Thanks to my Hubby. Originally, we had booked "Undersea Walking Tour" (海中漫步)for this day. Unfortunately, due to the coming of the typhoon (super windy and rainy), the hotel had to postpone the booking until the weather turns better. (We hoped to postpone it to the next day or even the day after) So, we've swap the plan bit and decided to go to the Aquarium first, hoping that we could go to the "Undersea Walking Tour" tomorrow.
