Hello!!! HAWAII!!! Wow I have so much to say about this... A world unto itself. ... why are the Hawaiian people not downtrodden??? Why has the Hawaiian culture survived countless invasions??? I mean think about it! A small group of islands with a small indigenous population gets in in dated every year with literally millions of people from several countries. .. that does not sound like a recipe for a culture to survive!!! Here is my outsider looking in view. .. (now remember I am not saying there is no discontent ) Hawaiians are aggressively happy!!! When they speak they say I am Hawaiian like that somehow is an all encompassing answer... yes corporate America has invaded , but ultimately on Hawaiian terms. If you live there they more than expect you to be like them...to learn their native language... they know you will succumb to their way... they speak of it almost like an infection!!! Hawaii is lovely and warm... and honestly given enough time I to would succumb to its charms... having said that I am to high strung to embrace island culture right now... but I had a lovely trip...
