Maybe 11 Philippine bananas. There’s one thing over there. Is it? Yeah. so amazing. Okay. All right. So, we are taking a break. We’re here in northern Okinawa. Well, we’re on our way to the Troy Aquarium and we’re here stopping by Family Mart because we need a snack break and we’re almost there. But there’s also um a tip given to us by a family that says like it’s actually a better price to uh buy the tickets at Family Mart rather than buying the tickets at the actual aquarium. So if you guys are nearby um stop by Family Mart and then grab some drinks, snacks, and then buy your ticket as well. For us, it actually took us about 2 hours to get here. We left a little bit earlier today. It’s a perfect timing. We’re hungry now. So, don’t mind if I do. Okay. Got my nori or what is it? Natto. Nan donut. How is it? Sick eating it raw. It’s better. Really dry. Struggling. [Music] Try to take advantage of my knuckle. Kind of try. Ooh, sour. I thought you tried it before. Mhm. [Music] Arriving destination. [Music] Look at the ocean views over there. Okay, so starting off. Can you guess where we’re going? Hope you Noah Cheromi aum. Yep. [Music] Perfect bodies in the shadow blue. Drifting faster than we should. Golden hour painted dream like you. Even dreams start fading too. I tell me what to do. I can feel us slipping away. Tread in water. Yeah. What’s the use? I just say playing these games. Soft in the light. Maybe the bull side you on your mind. We were never meant for this life. It’s the way the world. Okay, I think we entered the merch area, the shops, restaurants, and photo ops. That’s cute. It’s kind of like the Okinawan Aloha but with the whale sharks. You’d look for me. Would it kill you just to make They’re [Music] going [Music] turtles. Oh my god, so cute. [Music] barrel roll. I like how they push off the floor. [Music] Welcome. This like gold foundation somewhat sort of [Music] [Music] the entrance. You got it, Kona. Don’t worry, guys. I don’t want yellow. It’s cute little red. It’s cool. They asked us like uh what language they prefer. So I guess they adjust the the little like voice to your language. The garden area we have about 120 different types of guys like Jurassic Park. Man, I sure hope the jump scare. There it is. On the right. Oh, that’s pineapple. You’re doing pretty good driving. Welcome. I’m your Uber driver. [Music] So funny. [Music] It’s pretty. Look at that. [Music] [Music] Hey, [Music] Wow. Fancy. Wow. Look at this. [Music] Wow. Like a pineapple cake. Pineapple cake. Let me try. Oh, yeah. Oh, look at this. This is um that pure bouncer. It’s pretty much muscato. But I remember my mom would always bring this back. I think that’s muscato in the states. Pineapple soda. Wow. Merch. They got pineapple jams. Look at that. Check it out. Pineapple curry. Pineapple flavored curry. Pineapple pie. Pineapples galore. [Music] Yay! We win pineapple juice. I’ll try it. Pens. All right. Pineapple pens. Pineapple. Oh, there’s more. Wow.

Pineapple and bittermelon. That’s a smoothie. It’s a smoothie. There it is. There it is. It’s good. It tastes different than wood, but this is like you have tastes like really ripe pineapple. Nice and smooth. It’s not as tangy as I prefer. No, tastes more natural. I think this is my favorite thing here at the pineapple farm. So, we thought this place was going to be really small, but just train ride, but there’s actually a lot of stuff here that it just kept on going and going. souvenir shops, the winery. So, it’s like a mix of like everything. It’s kind of cool. Very unique. Wow. Look, it cleared out so fast. Our car’s like way back there. Oh, like who’s that guy? That’s Kona. Ka, can you drive the car here? [Music] [Music] Hi. I don’t have to look no further cuz I’ reached my destin. As long as I know that you will be around, I don’t have to keep keep on searching. I’m right where I want to be. I used to be so sad. Now I’m glad I found something I never had. And I’m ready. Ready. This time I’m moving all in. Yes. I’m ready. Ready. Yeah.
