The Okinawa Difference: Okinawa V. USA

This is a new portion of the Sullivan blog that attempts to bring everyone on board with the Okinawa experience and just how good life really is here. This series will be called The Okinawa Difference: Okinawa v. USA Our first part to the series addresses the difference in car names. In the states you have names like "Explorer" and "Maxima". In the States we also have a few named after Indian Tribes like "Aztec" and "Cherokee". Here, well, I don't know what inspires the names but they are darn interesting. Take a look:



No, that doesn't say ENIMA but WOW! That is really close...the Royal Lounge is a pretty sweet name for a mini van. Beats the heck out of "Gran Caravan." I think Oki gets the point on this one. Score: Okinawa-1 / USA- 0
(these aren't great pictures...I had to hurry because I thought I looked weird photographing random people's cars...)
