Notes on Hawaii

Observations in Hawaii:
the State beer is Heineken ("Keep Hawaii Green");
they make poke out of anything (ahi, edamame, fake crab, tofu, tako, blue crab, salmon, clams, shrimp, cucumber, beef, fish cake, sea snails, sea weed etc.);
they listen to laid back Reggae (probably due to the following 3 comments);
it takes at least a mile to make up for one wrong turn;
most street names start with a K or a W and end in an A or an I;
Exit #2 is actually the first exit;
they drive like they have all day to get there (probably because it actually takes that long... see previous three comments);
they love to travel to Alaska and to Vegas and have a strong presence in Phoenix;
it's "slippahs" not flip flops (and you can wear them to work) and "lanai" not patio or deck;
I'm "Auntie" if you don't know my name. It used to be a sign of respect or age but now can be accompanied by a wolf whistle apparently;
McDonalds sells Saimin, Spam and eggs with 2 scoops of rice and Haupia pie;
the locals ride in the back of pickups like the Mexicans do;
Sundays are for all day cook-outs at the beach;
if a car stops to let you cross whether you are in a cross walk or not, you waive and thank them.
