Hawaii, aka
Tahiti but more Asian (seriously, like everyone here is Asian or part Asian).
All jokes aside, it’s a very nice place. People here are generally friendly (with the exception of
Waianae) and the culture is very diverse. If you’re going to visit the islands, then make sure to respect
local customs and have fun.
It is important to point out that Hawaii isn’t a perfect paradise. There are many issues such as the homeless population and high cost of living. There’s also a lot of tensions between Native Hawaiian activists and the state government. Be careful when bringing up a sensitive issue.
Also, not a lot of people speak Hawaiian anymore, so don’t worry about having to learn a different language. However, I would recommend learning Hawaiian pronunciation since many of the place names are in Hawaiian. For example, “
Likelike” is pronounced “lee-keh-lee-keh”, not “
like-like”.
