Préfecture d'Okinawa

Okinawa, Vol. I / travel diary
Déjà trois mois se sont écoulés depuis mon arrivée au pays du soleil levant, et d'aller de péripéties en péripéties, on ne voit plus le temps qui passe. Après un Noël qui n'en était pas réellement un, il était grand temps de marquer une pause. Direction le soleil, l'eau turquoise et les plages de sable blanc. Les choses ne se sont pas tout à fait déroulées comme prévu…

Ca y est, nous y sommes ! La chaleur et l'humidité nous collent à la peau. Mais je savais qu'il me manquait quelque chose. D'après toutes nos sources, le meilleur moyen de découvrir l'ile n'était autre que la voiture. Et stupide comme je peux l'être parfois, j'avais oublié mon permis japonais... étant le seul à pouvoir conduire, tout reposait sur ce foutu papier que j'avais, mais complètement, oublié ! J'ai donc passé ma première après-midi à le refaire, essayant de corriger mon insouciance.. Bon d'accord, mais où sommes-nous ? Nous venions d'atterrir à l'aéroport de Naha, capitale de l'archipel d'Okinawa, un ensemble d'îles subtropicales au sud du Japon. ... De bon matin, nous récupérions les clés du bolide et direction le nord pour échapper à la ville et se perdre dans les paysages sauvages. Le premier stop sera le Cap Manzamo. Un endroit magique où seules les lois de la nature règnent. Mais sortez des sentiers au risque de ne pas vous perdre dans cette nature crue et inhospitalière. Attention aux éclaboussures !

Okinawa - Vol.I 
Travel diary — @undefined's mag on Magma

<h1>Well, well, well I bet you thought I couldn’t come back with an even greater Mag than the last two award winning pieces I published BUT HERE 👏🏼 WE 👏🏼ARE 👏🏼!!</h1>

It was a warm day in the marina. The birds were chirping, the families were gathered for some playful, fun in the sun activities and I was in the mood to risk it all. 
Mama Maria and I took a trip down the winding, treacherous roads of Southern California and did the unimaginable, we rented paddle boards and took to the sea. Like two lone fisherman, cast out by society for daring to be great, we had nothing but the life preservers on our back to lift us from the pulls of the tide, gardening hats to protect our delicately flawless, well hydrated skin and all the wrong water activity attire. But never the less, we stare down the face of adversity and push forward into the knee deep waters of a very affluent marina, judging by the parked yachts (do you park a yacht? Clearly, I do not have one). 
The events that were to unfold could only be told by watching the footage captured by an innocent bystander … my videographer, who is also a film maker and director and also a bougie sneaker head who never leaves home without his Yeezy waver runner drip. 
I wont’t go on… I mustn’t for words can do no justice to what lay now in the past! We live to see another day and live to say …

Thank you for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe!

Dubaï

<h1>Welcome to Dubai ! </h1>

Dubai is the hottest place right now, all influencers are going there to have a good time, create content in their Instagram profiles and sometimes they even move in.
 With dylan my fiance we went there for work and for the holidays we met a lot of workers, we saw Dubai in two different ways.

Personally, I didn't expect that at all when I came to Dubai. I thought it was a small town where you could walk around, get from one place to another without having to walk for hours or take cabs every times.
 A tip renting a car !
Dubai is a gigantic city, there are highways everywhere, roads, buildings, constructions ...
 It almost seems that the city was created around roads and highways.
 So we had to take taxis every day to go from one place to another because we don't have a license lol
To go from one place to another it takes about 25 minutes by car, good point taxis are not very expensive 😊

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in dubai is rich and not everyone lives in luxury.
 There are a lot of workers who earn really very low wages and who live together in small apartments.
 We call them labour camps ...
 In these places several people live in communities in very small area they are between 4 and 7 people in a room.

There are also several families who live in the same "apartment" if you can call it apartments ...
 They share the showers, the toilets, and the kitchen, no privacy is possible.

 They share the showers, the toilets, and the kitchen, no privacy is possible.
The people who live there are the workers of dubai, those without whom dubai would never have been built so quickly, those who sometimes work 20 hours in a row and 7 days a week those who receive a more than deplorable salary, and especially those who do not really have the right to speak and are deprived of all freedoms.

These people come from all over the world (India, Nepal, Cameroon, Syria, Sudan ....)
 so they can work and send money to their families, which most of them haven't seen in over a year.
 So yes maybe he earns a little more than in their country but is it really worth it ? 
For most of these people, the companies that employ them take their passports away once they start working.

Dylan and I had the chance to speak with some of them (cooks, taxi drivers, people who work in building construction ..)
 I really felt pain, real injustice and enormous inequalities.
 How in one place there can be such a big difference in lifestyle.
We met a worker who explained to us that to eat he had to travel 1:30 to 2 hours to be able to buy a sandwich.
 So why so far?
 Quite simply because the food is a little cheaper down there.

From our hotel we plane saw her on a construction site, in the evening and at night there were buses that came to pick up workers for them.
 bring closer to their homes.
 To get on the bus he had to line up 1 by 1 and wait for the person at the end of the site to call out their names.
 Once they called out their names they were running at full speed to get on the bus.
 These images were truly shocking.

I'm not saying i didn't like Dubai, but i just think there is another reality than what you see on tv or social media. And I think it's important to talk about these subject.
I am not writing this mag to show that dubai is not a beautiful city or to discourage you from going on vacation.
Dubai is a beautiful place with so much amazing place to visit, wonderful beaches, lots of activities, excellent restaurant ... 
I will write another mag to share with you my favorite places in Dubai. 

PS : Sorry for my spelling mistakes, i’m doing my best, do not forget that i am French ! ☺️😊
