Even during a warm winter, the occasional damp and chilly weather can still be a bit of a downer. That’s when you start missing the sound of summer waves lapping against the shore, or the cicada chirps unique to the season — sounds that suddenly feel especially delightful at this time of year.
If the damp and chilly air is getting you down, then take a flight to Okinawa. Just an hour in the air gets you breathtaking blue seas and total relaxation. Then, treat yourself to a bowl of Japanese shaved ice drizzled with vibrant syrup — never mind if it’s healthy or not, what matters is how instantly your mood lifts.
