Got back midnight Wednesday and had to report to work next 2 days (which also got me 3 hr OT) soooooo am still adjusting back from resting, relaxing and having fun to time changes and an over the top hectic office.Hawaii was great! NO tourists hardly though. Usually in Hawaii there are about 5 Asian people to each 1 Caucasian but this time it was similar to a ghost town. Hardly any Japanese people there and tourism way down. Lots of the shops really suffering big time and more and more people without work. In response to this 'slow time' I believe the gov't has applied for 'stimulous money' to work on infastructure issues and keep the economy going, hence many favourite places, i.e. the old churchs had scaffolding all around the outside and construction work was happening.
These are photos from a day going to China Town which is one of the oldest areas on Oahu. The markets are both indoor and outdoor, really busy social places were people tend to shop daily for groceries. I always enjoy going there as everything is super fresh and put out daily.
From Trinidad I know these as "dragon fruit" and they make the best juice but I didn't quite know what they call these in Hawaii. I couldn't get the 'name' from the seller as he didn't speak english
These are my drop dead most favourite fruit. Love 'em and can eat as many as I can get!
I'm thinking Jewel shouldn't be looking any further!
