Dragon Boat Races

They have a pretty big festival every year on May 5th. It actually culminates a week long Japanese holiday called Golden Week. May 5th is called kids day. The kids are out of school for the week. We went to the Naha port to witness the annual dragon boat races. In recent years, they have also invited the Americans to participate in the races. So the different military branches also enter the race. But the Japanese always win I think.
