Honolulu has the best climate, diversity and culture. Residents are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food in Hawaii is amazing! We have so many options and variety. Commuting is easy since there's also an efficient bus system throughout the island. The beaches on Oahu are beautiful, tranquil and breathtaking. The water is warm and relaxing. Sunshine throughout most of the year. Honolulu is the best place for a vacation.
Whenever I reveal my state of residence to my mainland friends, I always receive the same reaction: “You live in Hawaii!” In response to their awe, I do not deny my luckiness or shy away in humility; instead, I unabashedly agree with them. Yes, I live in Hawaii! And it is an amazing place. I lived in Honolulu, Hawaii since I was born and I cannot imagine myself anywhere else. Beyond the scenic views and “exotic” foods that highlight a foreigner’s experience, Hawaii is magical because of its diversity, which has conditioned me to gain an appreciation for other cultures. There truly is no other diverse place like Hawaii.
Honolulu is a beautiful city and a famous area for tourism. The most popular location in Honolulu is Waikiki. There you will find the wonderful beaches, restaurants, and much more. The Ala Moana Mall is a popular mall located right across from the Ala Moana beach park. The mall contains an awesome gallery of shopping stores, restaurants and entertainment. Something I would love to change about Honolulu is the amount of homeless. Many homeless live in the town and it has become very noticeable all around town. In addition, the traffic can be very rough especially during rush hour. Despite the negatives Honolulu is a place where ohana (family) is always first. I love the beautiful island and the countless activities such as: kayaking, hiking, camping, paddle boarding, scuba diving, bowling, ice skating, roller blading, go karting and much more that is available to everyone that is on the island. The greatest of them all is the beautiful view all around. Aloha!
