  • overall, good informative vid. a bit arrogant though-especially with the vibe towards tourists. just out of curiosity, how long have you lived in the islands?

  • @gliza - heh, I was just teasing. We actually do love tourists, but don't tell anyone ;) I've lived here for 5 years now. I think I shot this when I first moved here, and I was being a smartass.

  • Hey...I liked this! Nicely produced, and well thought out...you even sound a bit like Rick Steves! Very nice...although as a resident of the Big Island I found it interesting that you chose to use Ahu'ena Heiau as an example of a grass hut (man, it's royal cathedral!)--but you managed to capture a lot of what I try to tell my mainland friends about Hawai'i.

    They don't have electricity in Wai'anae? I've never been brave enough to go farther than Ko'olina!

  • thank you. Isn't that heiau the holiest of holy sites? Glad you recognized. It was the only "hut" I could find in a short period of time. I did this video mainly for people on the mainland, who have no idea what living in Hawaii must be like. Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

  • Shit it looks like san diego where i live forget that

  • Hey i actually am going to move to Hawaii in a few months i have heard rumors that if your not a tourist and you want to live in Hawaii they treat you badly? because you so called "taking our land" i'm not worried about it just a question for misunderstandings.

  • i'm going to Waikiki this summer, and it reminds me alot of New York Time Square in a way. so much performers, and people putting on fake attitudes because they all want your money. *sigh*

  • This is the Island of Oahu, and the images you have seen were from Waikiki - which is a part of Honolulu. Walk along the beach or along Ala Wai and you will recognize everything has has been talking about. But this place does provide only a fraction of the Aloha spirit, if you really wan to experience the true Hawaii you need to pick one of the other islands and a BIG wallet since life isn't cheap there.

    Aloha, Dirk

  • Thanks, darlin'

  • WHAT Island???

    You didn't mention what Island, dude.

    I wish I knew the numeric specifics of how much it costs to live there, like RENT, GROCERIES, LIGHTS, WATER ... etc.
