reached ishigaki today. went to taketomi, another island off ishigaki. nth much at the island. small little island. its famous for its beach. not because its beautiful or wad but because its sand is star-shaped. initially i thought is the whole beach is just made up of star-shaped sand. but actly is must find one. lol. apparantly if u can find, u're supposed to be lucky or sth. i found alot leh (: then alot of people cannot find so i was gng around showing off (: HAHAHAHA. and i totally pity those pple that have to find the sand to make souvenirs. the sand is like freaking small and hard to find.

after that went back to ishigaki to look look see see. there is seriously nth to see. super quiet place. and the restaurants and eateris all open at 5pm but we had to be back on board by 3.30 so no ishigaki beef ): maybe ishigaki only comes alive at 5pm. LOL.
