Then why have a political forum or relationship forum or etc. What even baffles me more is how you selectively inforce this, how local hawai'i folklore or culture doesnt fit in your personal ideal of city issues or relevant issues but, The white ducks of Kailua, Zoe the Zebra, What is this bug on my Lanai?,
Wild Goats and Donkeys by Kona, Hawaii Snails are your
Everything I post actually exists - and dead ducks and wild goats - zebras - bugs - snails, are all local city issues and things people moving here would encounter.

But not pidgin or hula or local culture? Hawai'i doesnt celebrate obon festival or Halloween or Ppl no talkstory? Beliefs in obake is big where you live in Honolulu. There are triving tourist companies that do historical and ghost tours right there in Honolulu! But i guess im making that up too? And its not real and something ppl don't want or encounter. .

@whtviper1

You see how your ego is your downfall, none of us are uniquely special. In this day and age every piece of information we post about costs, culture, history etc of Hawai'i can be found on the internet if you know where to look. Thats the key! knowing where to look and what to look for is about the only thing that can determine who has experience or knowledge in a subject.

I think that your heart is in the right place, but so many of your posts contradict themselves.

Case in point is the post that I quoted. Not sure what you are trying to say. If all of the information that "we" (including you) post can already be found on the Internet like you say, then why do you keep posting so much stuff?

I don't agree that every piece of information can already be found. Someone moving to a particular place may have specific questions that can best be answered by someone who currently lives in that place, although all of us have varying personal perspectives.

I understand (I think) about your desire to share your love for Hawaii, although many of your long ago experiences may not exist in today's world.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

So there's no "detectable difference" between dating a Vietnamese woman in Hawaiʻi and dating a Piilipino woman in San Francisco? That's like saying there no "detectable difference" between phở and pancit -- both are noodle dishes, but they are quite different to the discerning palate.

Jonah, instead of being so cryptic, what do you feel is so different about Caucasian men dating Asians in Honolulu versus San Francisco.

According to my buddy Keoni who left an executive position at Hawaiian Airlines in June after working for them for 25 years, "the only thing that's 'Hawaiian' about Hawaiian Airlines is its name."

If you have some suggestions I'm happy to consider them or pass them along.
