    I've seen those before, your dummy on the beach is a training aid, almost always referred to as Oscar. Some military ship ran a man overboard drill. It was unsuccessful! Poor Oscar!
    I was told in Okinawa that any bit of land not being used for something else, they grow sugar cane. You would see a small triangle between a house and couple of roads and it would have sugar cane growing, just a small bit of a cash crop. The blackness comes from just boiling the sap longer and getting it more concentrated. It is less refined than brown sugar.

    22:58 The Ryukyuan languages found on those islands use a modified Kana system to write words. The ri with a circle is a kind of a special L sound that has a complicated name that doesn't really help in describing it so I won't bother mentioning it here. The Ryukyu languages have a lot more sounds in them than Japanese so the usual kana won't cut it.

    45:00 I started imagining this cycle continuing - the other store comes and buys back the bread and marks it up even higher and it keeps going on. Meanwhile, it becomes less and less affordable for the customers, so there it sits - the only loaf of bread on the island - going back and forth between the two stores. 😂

    Wikipedia sez: "The combination of an R-column kana letter with handakuten ゜- り゚ in hiragana, and リ゚ in katakana was introduced to represent [li] in the early 20th century."

    Eric's like, we're on this tiny remote island but there's a tinier, more remote island in eyeyshot that we could be stuck on instead. Let's do that. I'm with you, Eric.

    My wife who is Okinawan said she had no idea what that character was. It must be localized only to that exact island. I’m assuming the bottle cap that had holes might have been a sort of pressure release valve in case the can gets overheated to prevent it from exploding. Some of the things to see on the main island. The aquarium, hacksaw ridge (Desmond Doss point) walking shopping street in naha, the main castle being rebuilt that burned a few years ago, American village in Chatan, Alivila resort hotel in Nikko (the buffet is heaven). Heki tepanyaki restaurant with female only chefs. Hilton ritz Carlton in chatan is 5 star food. Too too many others too list. Have fun !!!!!

      Old Citroen 2CV cars have a gear shift lever like an umbrella handle sprouting from the dash panel. Sounds so quirky French but it's a direct rod to the gearbox so works well.

    The dead body is used by ships (Navy) to exercise man overboard procedures. They throw it overboard and have a procedure to find it again. It seems they did not succeed this time.
