[LaFerrasie]

I really like Ken interacts with the people in this video. :)

[Tyrannies666]

[omatsu123]

Yep, I wish I could be a taro farmer in Hawaii after retirement.

[docrobphotostop]

[wxRyuxw]

Sometime, Ohyakusyou(お百姓) means poor people in japan.

Therefore its not spoken now

[Tyrannies666]

Stop calling him DAVID URY. We know but as a fan he wanted us to believe whoever he is so he create Ken Tanaka, this character is amazing to me so that will do, doesn matter so he is anymore. This guy is a great man

[HisforHeretic]

@Tyrannies666 They are two people, if you google them together there are newspaper articles and photos of them together.

[helpmefindparents]

I was born in Los Angeles, Batwomann233, not Indiana. But I would like to visit Indiana some day.

[BATWOMANN233]

are u japanese, or is this really a parody-like virtue?

[misokatsu99]

It's a parody, he's an actor named David Ury. You can see him in commercials and movies searching on youtube and imdb under his real name.

[BATWOMANN233]

Intresting vid, never heard of this plant, perhaps it's only avalible in Hawaii.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, Highice007. This plant is also grown in Japan.

[greggraffin]

Kandalaria was a very nice woman. I wonder if taro farmers have computers, and internet, and youtube. I would subscribe to her channel.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, greggraffin, Kandalaria was very nice and of course she is on youtube. Just look for Tarogirl877. Kidding.

[1455david]

[kittykattykoo]

I didn't know the leaf can be eaten. I used to eat the stems only. and gave the leaf to my fishes by letting it floats on the pond.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, kitty, it's quite tasty.

[MyChocoPop]

[helpmefindparents]

Poi is kind of salty, chocopop. They have two kinds, fresh and day old.

Ken Tanaka series is turning into a truly educational program. I enjoy your worldly view through this series.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, kohyin. I was very interested in Mr. Wong and his farm, so I thought I would share it with everyone. He is a very nice man.

[fomiz]

Your Hawaii series is definitely insightful and entertaining.

[helpmefindparents]

I am glad you enjoy it, fomiz. :)

[BrokenDreamer]

I enjoy your Hawaii specials!

I'm going to Hawaii next year for a music competition festival. :)

Hehe, I pronounce Taro differently =P

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, brokendreamer. I hope you have a great time.

[weeknightingale]

Yes I too want to be a Taro worker for fun in Hawaii.

[helpmefindparents]

I think they will greatly appreciate you there, weeknightingale.

[2ylite808]

Ken, i really appreciate you doing this. Hawaii is such a special place and you present it with enthusiasm and respect. mahalo nui loa!

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, 2ylite. Yes, Hawaii is a very special place.

[wc3415]

ah... the simple life

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, wc3415, maybe Paris and Nicole will visit the taro farm.

[hallbe]

Hummmm It has a nice ring to it...

'Tanaka's Tarot root farms'

Yep, I think as soon as you find your parents, you should get right on that!

[helpmefindparents]

YEs, I will start by growing a small taro plant on my window sill, hallbe.

[whiskeyminute]

Hmm, doing backbreaking farm work for no pay...you may have read that we fought a war over that in our country Ken.

And it's Taro, not Tarot, unless you're also telling fortunes with the poi.

[helpmefindparents]

Oh, thanks for your spelling correction:)

[kantoujin]

Satoimo in Japanese. I learned Elephant Ear in English name.

The taro is the same kind as Satoimo. It seems to be strange that Hawaiian people process a taro to paste, because Japanese people just season it with sugar and soy sauce and eat. I like "Satoimo no nikkorogashi". Hawaiian farmer is a little different style from Japanese farmer. However, it seems to be have the same farmer mind.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, I think it is satoimo. I ate some of the poi and it did not really taste like satoimo though. But it had the same nuru nuru texture.

[TalimSoul]

Your english sounds better than hers. No offence to her.

[helpmefindparents]

Kandalaria comes from the Phillipines, Talimsoul. I think she is a tagalog speaker. There are many Phillipine people in Hawaii.

[kkajapan]

面白かった！ Thanks for the video. It looks like you are enjoying many of the local activities and things to do in Hawaii. THe next time I am in Hawaii I will have to check it out.

[helpmefindparents]

Thanks, kkajapan. Yes, I hope you get to visit some time.

[kkajapan]

Well hopefully this December, I will go to Hawaii for the Honolulu Marathon again, so if I am in the area I will definitely check it out.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, you should check it out.

[chimera15]

おもしろい！ What a nice lady, and great name! Kandalaria?

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, chimera15. She was very kind:)

[lyes28]
