Trip to Hawaii

Posted by SacredCultivator, 16 August 2007 · 483 views

Dear Readers,

Soooo too lazy to write up a detailed summary of my trip so I thought I would greatly condense it.

Day 1:
-Waited at the AirPort, noticed that the signs have JAPANESE on them now lol.
-Flight took about 5 and a half hours and ehhh I sadly incorrectly loaded a few dramas onto my laptop so they didn't play correctly.
-Arrived at hotel courtesy in a Limousine

Day 2:
-Don’t really remember what happened but noticed a bajillion Japanese people.
-Went to some place called PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center)
-Took a random picture of a group of girls

-At night saw some show that was an hour and a half and it was pretty boring
-BUT got to eat Shave Ice that resembled that of Reina Tanaka’s on her trip to Hawaii

^Turned out mine was half the size ><
---But then I rewatched another trip of Morning Musume and Reina Tanaka and Sayumi Michishige did eat the one I had, but mine was Purple =)

-Oh yeah, went to eat at McDonald’s and saw this girl
Posted Image funny thing is instantly I thought it was the same bikini worn by Reina Tanaka on her Alo-Hello, and when I rewatched it, it sooooooooooooo wasn’t =P
-Their ChinaTown streetsigns are cool as it is completely different from the regular ones.

Day 3:
-Went on a Submarine Ride which was boring (Look at slideshow)
-BUT got to see the SAME boat that Risa Niigaki got to ride on when she went to Hawaii Posted Image Posted Image
-Went on Diamondhead and on the way up there saw the sign to ‘Sea Life Park’ which Aya Matsuura went to on her trip to Hawaii (Didn’t get a picture as it caught my eye as it passed)
-Again saw a LOT of Japanese People, hehe most of them got seasick on the submarine.
-Submarine was gross, got to see cool stuff but then at the end when we were exiting… Someone threw up and I guess they ‘filled’ it that it completely ‘blew up’ and leaked through the bag… Smelled soooooooooooo badly… But yeah thankfully it happened at the END and not in the middle…
-On our way up Diamond head, stopped at a place called ‘Blow Hole’ and well it was just a rock that had a hole on the side and as the current/waves hit under it, it would blow up through that hole. Took a shot of a girl holding her skirt as well it was extremely windy and only comment my Sister made was ‘Pervert’… Ehh she wasn’t all that great looking =P
-^At the same place there were two Motorcycles, that belonged to two elder’s hehe seems most Motercyclystists are elders.
-Went to emm.. Aloha Shirt Store or something lol… Where there is a 400 XL Sized Hawaii shirt, took a few pictures of those (Look in slideshow)
-Got impatient and paid for 4 hours of use on the Internet, not gonna say the price but definitely not worth it… Speeds SUCKED and wouldn’t let me download via Torrents… But in that small amount of time got a bit done and downloaded via Direct Downloads…
---It was about this time that my dear friend Tiffany MySpaced me and gave me a picture, and hehe I took the time to post that under the People I’d Like To Meet Section.
-Hmm did I mention the amount of Japanese People and Stores and Text and woah! A lot of cute ones I may add.. Although again.. It is really hard to tell their age by appearance… {Hehe took a few random shots of them, a few as I got bored}
-My love for AKB48 is slowly growing.

Day 4:
-Airport security sure was strict on my way to the Big Island.
-Went to Big Island
-Went to ‘Lake Flow’ and took a bunch of random pictures. One of me falling off a cliff, don’t worry I resurrected.
-Went to some Volcano Tunnel thingy where I took a few random pictures.
-Most of the day was pretty boring.
-Hotel is the GHETTO, here is a breakdown of how ghetto it is.
---TV looks ANCIENT
---Only 1 valid outlet in the Restroom (Unless you unplug their Lamp/Clock)
---TV Remote is lame, need to input the Channel NUMBER
---Everything looks old and dirty
---The Coffee stuff was all over the floor
---The key is a literal Key and not Card
+Only plus => FREE INTERNET with FAST rates, too bad can’t torrent.
-Did I mention that dumb Drazic got me into AKB48… That turdlet…. Let’s just hope that they don’t grow on me too much to the point that I like them more than Morning Musume. But their songs are awesome, Emo-y ish just the way I like it.

Day 5:
-Went to some boring places
-Needle Mountain was pretty lame
-Ehh went to some beach that wasn’t all that great.
-Lol thought the High-Speed internet I had last night was awesome only to find out that I forgot to check the Encoding used on the video’s when I was editing them to make them smaller filesize ><
-Overall this day was lame.
-Didn’t really do anything worth noting…
-Plane was lame to.. had a technical problem that we had to switch planes which left us being about an hour late for our Tour Guide so we had to wait that much longer for him to return to pick us up.
---The Airline we switched to (Aloha) was interesting, they don’t have designated seats, open-seating, so that was pretty cool.
-Went looking for the Hello!Project Information Village but turns out it was closed down for many years =P
-Stopped at a Convenience Store (ABC Stores), and just semi-shouted out ‘Hai’ (Japanese) and some Japanese Girl (Pretty cute) looked up and tried to see who said it, lol was pretty funny.

Day 6:
-FREE Day for us as we have nothing on the Tour Agenda.
-Got to sleep in as we have nothing to do, as before we had to wake up around 5 AM.
-Had to check-out of our crappy hotel at 12 as that is as long as we (tour) paid for…
-7 Hours of doing whatever until we have to return to the Hotel to get picked up to the airport (7PM), flight is at 10PM.
-So we went shopping around the Plaza’s and what do we find in the ABC Stores?
---We found pictures of Ex-Morning Musume members Kago Ai and Fugimoto MikiPosted Image Posted Image
-At the airport while waiting for our flight, there was a sign that said there was WiFi connection, but sadly you had to pay for it. So I was like awwwww.

Overall Evaluation:
-LOTS of Japanese People, heh most of which were emm what’s the phrase I am looking for.. ‘chou kawaii’
-A lot of street performers, at least at the hotel I stayed at the most.
-The site seeing wasn’t that great although I did try to make the best out of them.
-Very very windy and the heat isn’t too bad.
-Sporadic showers, sometimes they were light, sometimes hard.
-I wasted $12 for the shitty internet at my hotel, would have been better if we stayed at the Ghetto One for the most part just for the Free Internet.
-I suriously got into AKB48, after I said I never would… Thanks a lot Drazic (In a good way actually, since they are good =P). Goooo Maedo Atsuko (I think is her name) she is just too cute, and the more I watch the rest, the more cute ones pop out although still there are more ugly ones than pretty ones.
-To conclude this all… I would probably not want to return to Hawaii.

And here is a slideshow of ALL the pictures I took during my trip, again there are some random ones as I was bored.







You went to Hawaii!? But it seems like the tour you went to sucked really bad.
You didn't visit Pearlridge? Ala Moana? North Shore or even Waikiki (Well, I'm gonna assume you did since you've mentioned a lot of street performers, but did you walk the strip at night?) And yeah, the blow hole is... Pretty boring.

What beach is that in the picture? Is it Ko'Olina?
@CiaCiainAction: Yeah most of the time we stayed in Waikiki, Waikiki Resort. Pearlridge, is that pretty much the Peal Harbor thingy? If so yeah went on that. Ala Moana we went as well. And walked the strip twice at night.
Hm.. Pearlridge isn't Pearl Harbor (you mean where all the ships are stationed at?) It's the mall in Aiea (the same mall where the girls went to).
@CiaCiainAction: Oh.. Hmm didn't go there then.
