Happy Landing, Poke and Costco

Well, it's official. I live in Hawaii. I arrived a few days ago, and have loved every second of it since. I do believe this is one place for me. The weather is perfect, the people are lovely, and although I haven't made it over to the beach yet, I'll get there.

I've been learning a whole new language, in a sense. I never would have guessed that makai means toward the ocean, kona means leeward, and howle means white person. I'm getting better, but I still have lengths to go. Also... getting my bank set up was fantastic. I now have a bank account. [: With a whole $10 in it! But that's ok for now.

Anywho... I soon learned what poke [pronounced closer to polkie] is. I'm not certain there's anything that compares in the states. It's pretty much cubed sashimi with lots of spices and fun stuff. Being veg, I get to avoid it. Luckily. But it does look very pretty. [:

And to top it all off, we DO have a Costco. Bulk purchasing here I come! [:

Out to enjoy the weather. Cheers! :D

P.s. took this picture on the UH campus. Amazing flower!
