Okinawa's Gate 2 Kadena area

All the hype about gate 2 kadena is just that... hype and drunken military braggards trying to impress their buddies. I was on gate 2 in 94-99 and I live here again now, yes it was a wild place then. Now that GWOT is going on there is a world wide crack down on human trafficking and most of the old bars that were the top rated spots are closed because they can't bribe enough people to get the visa's and passports for the girls to work in the bars. So if someone tells you about how mush sex theyr'e getting at gate 2 they just told you a good lie. If you are lucky enough to meet and have sex with some young Japanese girls in the gate 2 area, chances are most of Kadena has been there too. Hopefully you wont meet the girl who gives you something to remember her by (STD's). If you like 60 year old fat nasty Japanese women then whisper alley is the place for you. Thats about all the action still ongoing at gate 2. The only other old school attraction is the Banana show which features an old Japanese lady who performs tricks with her banana boyfriend which she usualy serves up the banana after the show for drunken soldiers who think its cool to eat the banana. The best way I have found to meet nice ladies in Okinawa is stay away from gate 2 area and go see the island. There are lots of lovely ladies wanting to meet guys and some enjoy sex but that does'nt mean you will have sex everytime you meet a Japanese lady in Okinawa. You have to do it the old fashioned way... work for it. Besides, who wants a wife or girlfriend that with the same tatoo on her butt as McDonalds..... "Billions and Billions Served". Gate 2 is a money pit and thats all. When the girls in the bar promise you sex, what they mean to say is they are going to screw you out of your money.

Unique Suggestions: Don't go.

Fun Alternatives: Get off base and see the island and do some tours and meet some real people.
