New Year's Holidays in Amamioshima Island

Or, "This is the 4th southern-most island in Kagoshima, almost/pretty close to Okinawa"

After I arrived in Amami airport, I was surprised that it was warmer than my city (or hometown) Kumamoto. The weather in the island is similar to Okinawa island, but less well-known tourist site than (or compared to) Okinawa.
I also found many plants were different from ones in Kyushu main island.
While I was heading to my hotel, I wanted to take some pictures in which I stood in front of sugarcane fields.
However, my hotel's driver advised me " There are dangerous snakes in the sugarcane field. Don't step in the fields." You don't need to repeat it :)
I gave up to take sugercane's pictures. (or continue from the last sentence and add "so I gave up on trying to take pictures") The snake is called "habu" in Japanese.
People in Amami island make some products from these snakes (or "this type of snake"). One of them is a lucky charm. The lucky charms are made from the habu's skin. Habu lucky charms are believed to that they can bring us happiness. My husband bought one from a souvenir shop. I hope his wishes come true.
By the way, I looked up "habu" on the internet. Habu is "Protobothrops flavoviridis" in English (actually, it's more like a "Scientific Name", I highly doubt any English speaker would try and call it by that name :). I can't memorize such a long name, so I wrote the Japanese name "habu."
We had wonderful days ("a wonderful time" sounds more natural) in Amami. I will write more about our trip next time.

Would you mind correcting my writing? Thank you for taking your time.
