make sure you check out job availability first, rangerduke08 before moving back. if you ARE able to secure a teaching position in hilo, i'd say that hilo would be a great place to be albeit this is a biased opinion. just don't forget that it's a "different" type of living on the biggest island.

Kani-lehua, I understand since it's like 1 school Hilo, versus 4 Chaminade, Pacific, Hawaii, BYU on Oahu. I don't mind both but what is the "difference" your talking about? I like sailing and country living but I like mountains too, Honolulu just seems too much of a city and touristy for me.

I do have a question though, I am non-partisan, if anything more specifically Libertarian so I would run as a Republican over Democrat if there is a need to specify an affiliation ... it seems all the congressman and senators have always been Democrats, is the governorship (possibly councilman) the only position(s) that a Republican can win office in Hawaii?

You might want to run on the Spamunist Ticket, it's gained a great deal of support here in Hawaii since 1937 or so, is non-biased, group oriented, has a key support group, and is easy to open with the proper technique, just remember, clockwise...........

Aloha

Default Hatred towards Haole's

Aloha,

Yes some of it is very true, as long as your son is quiet stay nice, there shouldnt be a problem, the ratio for the students are as follows, 21-23 pacific islanders to 1,2 (haole's) whites or blacks(popolo), try to stay in Aiea, pearl city red hill area, alot more haole and popolo's!!! My Keiki's are some tough kids, they sure got into plenty Scraps!! my kids was local kids hatred toward them because they're half japanese!! Im from japan, so that means Im half japanese,I speak and my kids speak fluent japanese.!!!!

Aloha, Take care!! Good luck!!! Everything will be alright, just make some local friends, they will help you!!

Here's something I wrote on that subject over a year ago:

the difference i was referring to was about a slower pace of life/country style living.

Generally Democrats win elections much more frequently than Republicans, at least in Hawaii. Personally, I can't really tell the difference between them, but some folks can.
