Week 2

Vengeance of the fats.

You guys have no idea, Hawaii has THE BEST 7-11's. Seriously they have sushi rolls that you make your self, or SPAM FREAKING MUSUBI. It's like hawaiin metaphor for kimbab. Got a field trip or a game your going to? Musubi. Sleep over? Musubi. SO. GOOD. I DIE.

No you have no idea, the people at the 7-11 already know my face. I've gone 3 times a day before, yea I'm not ashamed of it.

Seriously, if only the mainland 7's (what people out here refer 7-11 as) didn't suck and had things like this here. They have manapua, which is some meat bun (koreans have something like it called Ho-ppang. And best of all they have make it your self sushi rolls. So far my favorite have been crab california rolls and spicy ahi.

Step 1. Procure said sexinyourmouth roll

Step 2. Unwrap first fold of nori (seaweed).

Step 3. Set free the rice.

Step 4. The tricky part of rolling the rice onto the exposed nori then rolling it all the way down the now naked nori.

Done!

Oh look, my two favorite things.

LE MALL

Ala Moana, the largest outdoor mall in the United States. 

No seriously, look @ the aerial view, its the flatter white portion. courtesy of google images. You know Polynesians always do it big.

So the troupe and I decide to check out Waikiki beach because, well I am a tourist after all it's my duty to go there. But before going there of course we have to stop by the biggest mall I've ever been in, Ala Moana. 

To get there form Waimanalu, you of course have to hop on the bus. And funny enough that's what its called, "The Bus", Hawaii likes the literal for its transportation services apparently.

This is actually the second time I've stepped in but this time I took pictures. Fortune smiles upon you.

Stupid kid ruined my shot

WAIKIKI BEACH

So here are some really nice shots from the beach. It really is a visually stunning beach.

 Everyday they're tourin'

 perky

 Fusi, the eldest.

 Anne is not a happy tourist...

 Ana and I were the only ones who went out to swim, look how little we are.

 GET DA FUK OUT MY PICTURE YOU LITTLE CU-

Better

Now that you've seen how pretty it is, I can now happily tell you the bad. It was disgusting to swim in. Waikiki in known to be avoided by all the locals for this reason. In the colonial times it was a rice patty (asian throwbacks) and in the 90's it was on the hawaiin news for being the dirtiest beach. Charming.

That rock wall Ana and I were on? yea its a barrier so tender pussy foot hotel goers don't get bruised, but it just magnifies how warm it is. It was a comfortable urine temperature and smelt like fish... gross. I learnt my lesson and the family told me to stick to Waimanlu beaches, even Obama goes there for his vacay's at Kailua.

Let's get Lei'd

So mama Ta'ufo'ou runs a little business making Tongan lei's for the folks round here and they fetch a pretty penny at the cost of family/child labor, hey no family's perfect.

But they have BUCKET fulls of flowers just for making leis...

Bellows Beach

So learning from Waikiki, the fam brings me to Bellows Beach, it's in between Waimanalu beach and Kailua (remember Obama-land?)

 The transit, the back of the pick up. Never gets old

 I actually had no idea that we were both doing this at the same time.

In which I get smashed by a wave.

Anywho, this is my adventure so far, tmmrw's a national holiday and a Friday... WE SO EXCITEDDD. I bare a herp derp picture of me, in which I look slightly impaired while completely sober... how gracious.

-the dark one.
