Okinawa 3

I liked the old Shiraho district, where I can see my grandmother's friends in old, traditional houses.
However, only two of them are alive now. Also, the district is not like past anymore.
There are new houses, and the traditional Okinawan houses were torn down.
People from mainland Japan have moved to the district, and what is sad is that people don't talk with their neighbors anymore.
The beach I used to swim has also changed. There used to be a lot of coral reefs, but now it's almost gone.
I liked the island in the past, but now it has changed so much that I can hardly see anything beautiful in the past.
My grandmother visited the island last year, and she said " It seems like everythings have changed." she looked sad.
I think the urbanization is not always good, because it lacks of unique traditions.
I've seen an article that says that big cities looks the same. I think it happens to small cities also.
