Some pictures from my recent trip to Japan for the 4th CBE (chemosynthesis based ecosystems) symposium in Okinawa!
This is the beach outside one of the hotels (the Kise Beach Palace) where we crashed the first night. The net is to keep out box jellyfish, which are really poisonous, so although the water's gorgeous they don't recommend swimming in it near human settlements (where the jellyfish are worst) outside of a net.
The previous five images are from the conference center itself. It was actually held where the G8 summit was held in 2000. So beautiful!
