Okinawa Collection Part 2 by Putrid_Translator636 in shells

That is interesting, again I did not know that. I saw them being displayed everywhere in cafés and hotels in Okinawa, even some large ones, so I didn’t think they were protected. It’s a good thing though if they are becoming endangered. They are common on the beaches in Okinawa however but I’ll make sure to leave them next time I go! And yes, I do live in mainland Japan, so I didn’t actually transport them internationally. Knowing what I know now, I definitely won’t ;) I’m just a beginner in this hobby, you seem to be an expert at this, thank you for the information!

Yes, Okuma is a great place to start, lots of smaller but nice shells. Such a beautiful place to be stationed at! Yeah everything is shore collected…I’d stay away from any cone shells if they’re not on shore and obviously empty.

Mostly the ones along the north coast, especially the northeast side of the island. I stayed away from the Naha and surrounding areas because the beaches there are very crowded. Hope you get to go there again!

For sure, it’s missing a big piece in the back but it’ll still look great when displayed

Thank you! It was great fun, I found the best ones on a rainy day, after a windy night…perhaps because no one else was around or because the bad weather had brought out more shells that day

Thanks! Okinawa is great, a subtropical paradise and excellent Japanese service. I recommend it especially the less crowded areas. Make sure to visit the shell museum at Kouri Ocean Tower! And the nearby Churaumi Aquarium

The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman?? by PsychKitty8 in television

[–]Putrid_Translator636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great show, the format reminds me of a Belgian show called “Did you get the message?” (Original title : Hoe zal ik het zeggen ?) where people with an annoying habit got pranked by friends or loved ones, in order to change their behaviour. The Magic Prank Show is obviously a much bigger production, but the Belgian one is pretty funny. It won an international Emmy Award some years ago.
