- There's this little mall-within-a-mall at the Ala Moana Center called Shirokiya. Its primary target demographic seems to be old Asian ladies. Whenever I'm having a low-self-esteem day I walk around in there and I feel so freaking tall. It's awesome.
- Puka/Hula Dog. Get this: they take a bun and they burn a hole in the bun and then they put a hot dog in that hole with a bunch of fruity relishes and sauces. Did I mention the bun is made of taro and bacon? And they have lemonade from scratch.
- The sunsets don't suck. I got to watch one at Waikiki Beach with my friend Hannabeth once and I have to say that it was one of the prettiest reference points by which to witness the movement of the earth.
I was originally going to talk about five things that I like in/about Hawaii, but I am drawing a blank. Oh well.
*Not that the people who are giving me crap even read this blog because they're probably too busy surfing and swimming and hiking and having super awesome Hawaii parties to which I'm never invited.
4. HGC! (honey garlic chicken!)
ReplyDelete5. Being able to complain about Hawaii (don't deny it. It's awesome to be able to say, "Yeah, I live in Hawaii but I don't like it" because then everyone is like, wow, she's counterculture, man.)
6. Those crazy trees!!
7. The view from your balcony! (maybe you don't like that, but I think it's kind of rad)
8. Honolulu Cookie Company samples
9. Doing your patriotic duty by identifying soldiers (even if it's mostly work drama and less "I know who this is!")
10. Teva tan. (Those are your sandals, right??? Whatever that is - the sandal tan).
See? I could come up with 7 more for you. Now go watch LOST and appreciate! That's what you should be doing with your final months there - watching all the episodes of LOST!
That sunset was awesome. And hula dog forever changed my life. You rock, Alex.
