Here is a youtube video of today's Waikiki. The Dolphins playing in the water off Waikiki Beach reminds me of the things that make Hawaii beautiful and special ... even today's Hawaii. If you can, click the link below the pic and enlarge the video to full screen.

A lot of people like to run down Waikiki. Saying things like, "It's not the real Hawaii. Too many people." etc... But for a city, it is absolutely beautiful. Especially from the water!

Aloha,

One perception or experience about Oahu and Honolulu is how there are some really nice things tucked away sometimes not in the main tourism areas or in plan sight. I wantted to share this because this was also something i enjoyed when i lived in Oahu. Its still there, its not huge or anything but i enjoyed it alot.

I agree - the view in 1970 seems bland and lacks identity.
