I lived in a real nice huge three floor concrete barracks at Kadena AB for 6 months in 1968. The base was very well kept up. A bit humid, lots of sun, always a steady breeze. We were very close to the shore, but then most of Okinawa is. A very Americanized base. Lots of families had their American cars shipped there. I'll never forget how meticulous the Japanese people are when it comes to beauty. In front of each of the barracks, there is a grass lawn, then a concrete sidewalk then a strip of grass in between the sidewalk and the curb and the street, just like back in the world. Each of those grass strips along the streets were surrounded with a rectangle of carnations defining that area of grass, very beautiful. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=26.35269,127.770095&spn=0.035533,0.068665&t=h&z=15
