When we were in the primary school days, writing an 80-words essay was kind of intimidating. 80 words was a lot to me. Now I couldn’t imagine how anyone could write with such limited length of words. I find it hard to keep to the limit as I’m used to writing long posts. My recent assignment was to write 6 articles, each about 250 words. Having written long articles and pages and pages of long reports (thanks to UTP), I find it somehow challenging against the dateline. These 6 articles are about places of interest in Okinawa with hints of history to make the story more interesting. However, I must admit I’m a hypocrite as I have not contributed much of original contents in it. I merely summarized whatever information I could find on the Internet as I could not possibly relate any personal experience (or even the slightest facts about Okinawa) that was non existence. Perhaps the next time I should just accept assignment that does not require much facts and allows me to generate my own opinons, thoughts and ideas. Though I’m getting paid, I think I’ve gained much more from this assignment. It really had me reading about the stuff that I wouldn’t imagine reading in many light years to come. This time, I have blended in some images that I’ve stolen from other sites to accompany my articles so that you can better appreciate them. It will be great for you to read if you are visiting Okinawa for the first time and having said that, I would definitely want to go to the Kerama Islands if I have the chance!
