This starving art school student has an ingenious website, which I've always loved. He will send you whimsical, basically worthless stuff from various places if you pay him some token sum.
One of the things on "sale" is the star-shaped sand of Okinawa, the destination which was clearly not meant to be for XY and me (the ferry company between Keelung and Okinawa has gone bankrupt, China Airlines is too exorbitant, not to mention risky, etc etc).
To console ourselves, we will be celebrating Okinawa Day this month. Festivities include partaking of Okinawan delights (apparently there is a restaurant in Liang Court that specialises in them), dressing up as American GIs and wearing a lot of sunblock.
Alternatively, you can PayPal me some money and I will send you the star-shaped sand of my dreams when I get there.
