Hawaii in reality

Kaimana · #1 08-24-2002, 04:28 PM

Ok I just thought i would make a thread to help answer and myths and misunderstandings of what Hawaii really is in life and how are people are and stuff, traditions and such. So well go ahead and ask a question...( a sensible one) and Ill try to answer it...mind you some people are completely clueless at what the real Hawaii is like

Rex Tirano · #2 08-24-2002, 04:57 PM

Do people really goe around in hula dancing straw skirts with nothing underneath and does Hula music always play in the back ground (i saw that in a cartoon

)

Kaimana · #3 08-24-2002, 05:07 PM

Great question and the answer is no.....None of that is true...Hula contrarey to off island belief and media...is a form of ancient dance that is above all to serve the main purpose of worshiping the ancient Gods of Hawaii..it was at one point before the foreigners came a very spiritual practice. So what do we wear well..anything that seems fit and comfortable for hot wether...just about anything...Allot of people here (men) wear surf shorts.as it is light weight and comfortable...girls well they wear all those cool bikinis

Anyway we wear clothes that is sutable to our conditions....About the music...and im telling you not everywhere you go do you hear music...but in Hawaii there is ussually always someone somewhere playing music..with a ukulele or guitar..drums and shuch...so yeah there is often times music in the back ground

I hope that answers your question Rexy

Is it true that they sacrifice the first female child to the Dragon God 'Shakinos' so that they have eternal protection?

Kaimana · #5 08-25-2002, 12:42 AM

........................no

Jacob · #6 08-25-2002, 07:01 AM

Ok. Well, is it true that ur hiding Dragons so that if and when the world goes to war you can anihilate all whom...*To be said in a deep and menacing tone*..."STAND IN YOUR WAAAAAY."

Kaimana · #7 08-25-2002, 04:24 PM

.......................no

However legends of a dragon known as Moa was well known in ancient Hawaii..a place on Kauai known a s spouting horn is a water hole next to the ocean....when was hit the rock it sends a great spout of water and a lound rumbeling noise...believed to be the roar of the beast

girls well they wear all those cool bikinis.

Sounds like paradise to me thats for sure.

Wish I could visit some time. Anyways I do have a serious question what has been the lowest recorded temperature in Hawaii, in known record that is, like the record high temp and the record Low temp, if you could find those two for me I would greatly appreciate it.

From what I heard Hawaii is fun in the sun.

Kaimana · #9 08-25-2002, 08:27 PM

Here on Kauai and in most of Hawaii tempeture ranges are always close.... The average temp here is 70-75 degrees...lowest temp low sixties.

Jacob · #10 08-26-2002, 05:59 AM

Is it true that the only clothes u have are made out of sand and sea-weed? And that they were given to you by 'Kocil' the God of life?

Kaimana · #11 08-26-2002, 02:37 PM

.......................no

Clothes here varies from allot of places seeing how we have so many mixed cultures in Hawaii

Majic · #12 08-26-2002, 09:20 PM

Did Hawaiin shirts originate in Hawaii? Or are they just trend setters. We don't want some state pride taking over the clothing industry... Or do we.

Kaimana · #13 08-26-2002, 11:07 PM

The idea of a hawaiian shirt was acctually coined here as the Aloha Shirts...wich are made here aswell...To answer your question Alhoa shirts did originate here..and is worn here by many tourist..and locals for special ocassions

Ashe · #14 08-27-2002, 08:39 AM

Hello Kaimana. I have a question, I hope it does not sound too silly. You always see people on TV with the lais (I think that is what they are called, the flowers that are around people's necks). Do people wear those a lot? Are people given them once they get off the plane and arrive in Hawaii?

Kaimana · #15 08-27-2002, 02:38 PM

Yes Yuna, tourist that arrive to Hawaii are formaly given a lei to wear....As for us locals leis are given to special people on special occassions...Leis vary from the flowers and plants that are found on each island...during a festival called May Day...wich is acctually Lei Day..Everyone wheres a lei wich makes the island smell like sweet flowers..its quite and occassion. So yes we do wear Leis here for many reasons...Allot of it is tradition

ethan · #16 10-03-2002, 03:32 AM

I am sorry Kaimana, but i have to correct what you said on the second thing that you said, and hula was used for really trainning to fight ,and to worship the gods there was a chant there many chants. The chant explains where you are from and stuff but to even enter someones houce you have to chant and if they do not hear you just do it again three times if he does not answer on the third then just leave, but to dance is for loved departed ones that have died.

Kaimana · #17 10-03-2002, 03:55 AM

Thanks for the Ethan. However I was never aware of the entering someone's house ritual. That must have been a LONG time ago in ancient Hawaii. Also I would like to point out the word "Hale" Hawaiian for house, home. Yes thats true that hula, has many chants involved. Probably the best none style of hula and chants the ones use to tell a story or pray to the Hawaiian gods. Now days thing of that sort is rare and is hardly ever seen. Alot has change with Hawaii now, and Hawaii thousands of years ago. And if you did not know Surfing was invented by the Hawaiian's then your sad!

ethan · #18 10-03-2002, 04:10 AM

yes it is from the middle time of the when polonesians came and landed here.
so yeah you can call it from ancient times.

Joshy · #19 10-03-2002, 06:49 AM

do people go surfing everyday? and tan on the beach naked?

Kaimana · #20 10-03-2002, 02:30 PM

Yes people do go surfing everyday. Taning on the beach naked can only be done on nude beaches. As far as I know, there is only one here on Kauai, okay maybe more if you count the secret beaches. But other then that in public beaches you don't see people taning naked

ethan · #21 10-03-2002, 04:24 PM

unless if they are somewhere called donkey beach

Kaimana · #22 10-03-2002, 04:51 PM

Donkey Beach

Probably the most well known nude beach on Kauai.

ethan · #23 10-03-2002, 05:38 PM

did you know that donkey beach is pretty much the most well known nudity beach in the entire state.

I now must go to Hawaii.

But I just wanted to know, is Hawaii the best place on Earth and if it is, do you enjoy rubbing it in everyone's face. And are the majority of girls from Hawaii really fine pieces of women, and if they are, are any of them interested in a really studly guy from Ohio?

Enjoy your paradise!

Jacob · #25 10-03-2002, 09:10 PM

:

really studly guy from Ohio?

You do realise studly usually means, tanned, dark features, muscles, 6packs large...vehicle of some sort.

Not...

Pale, mouse/mole-like features, skinny lil' no arms, big...bulgy out stomach thing (Blech!!) and a small...ermm...Mini.

Kaimana · #26 10-03-2002, 09:11 PM

But I just wanted to know, is Hawaii the best place on Earth and if it is, do you enjoy rubbing it in everyone's face? To answer you're first question yes Hawaii is the best place on earth, and yes I do delight in rubbing it at people.

And are the majority of girls from Hawaii really fine pieces of women, and if they are, are any of them interested in a really studly guy from Ohio?
Yes the are quite fine. Would they be interested in you, well I will leave it up to them.

I would like to welcome you to come and enjoy yourself. And try you're best to get a chick it shouldn't be to hard.

sO fReAkIn oDd · #27 10-03-2002, 11:40 PM

And Jacob, I'm not ugly or pimply as you would like to assume. In fact I'm a pretty good-looking guy (or so girls tell me). I'm also shallow and popular, just to clarify.

I was just kidding about the 'girls from Hawaii being interested in me thing'. I know I can get a girl whenever I want.

I want to go to Hawaii someday, and Europe, but I am not legally allowed to leave my family until im 17 or something.

munchman · #28 10-03-2002, 11:56 PM

i need to go find me a nude beach.........see ya.........ill be back in a hour or so..............oh i have a lil some thing i want to ask..........what kind of food do you eat there?? and what do you do in so called "fun time"??? *can you please answer them.....i am a big fan........

Kaimana · #29 10-04-2002, 12:12 AM

What type of food do we eat. Okay good question. In reality we eat alot of everything in different cultures. The most popular, The Hawaiian food=A good time eating things like, fish, wild boar, assorted vegetables, chicken, and other foods turned into a meal with certain ways of cooking will give you a healthy body. One good example is the "Kalua" Pork. A "Emu" or under ground oven is made by rock the Pork si then put in the emu and the emu is lit. After hours on end in the natural underground oven, the pork is removed that process is called Kalua. The meat then is striped into small peices. It goes good with rice. Rice goes with almost any meal we have. Um, desserts range from all types of cakes and puddings to things like the famous "Hula Pie". A large ice cream cake with chocolate, the general flavour is a nice mango. Another popular culture type food here is the chinese food. No need to explain. Then the general American food steps in. I hope that answered a small part of you're question.

To answer you're second question. Personally, I go to the beach, boogie board, surf, sand slide, body board, spearing, jumping off walls of rocks into a crystal clear tide pool. If I am not at the beach then I would go to the mountains, climb trees and just exlpore around. And then of course I come here. There are movies you can go and watch, all types of things you can do. from kayaking, to taking a helicopter tour of the island. Alot of things my friend. You can never see all of Hawaii in 14 years, I sure have not and I live here.

Jacob · #30 10-04-2002, 04:30 PM

Im sure your not a geek. And im sure your mums right about you being handsome and popular...
