On okinawa they have the same concrete houses.. I think it might be a building code or something for the island.. I know the military can't build houses or anything on base if it isn't concrete and follow some local building rules if i remember correctly.

here is a picture showing all the houses.. And don't mind that little building its just for where farmers stay when they are working.. its not a house.

and here is another one of up the street.

Okay, Okinawa looks a lot like a Portuguese village! I feel a bit disappointed.
But like I said before, houses here are rather sturdy as well. The house where I live is about 50 years old (I believe) and because it's made of granite rock and has plastered walls it's still in very good shape. Our biggest problem here are forest fires during the summer but those aren't natural if you know what I mean.
