Also - clothing and jewelry have patterns of plants, or animals. I'm sure you've all seen a colorful aloha shirt with a fish or flower pattern - or a muumuu with a bright plant leaf pattern. How about the thick Hawaiian jewelry with the jumping dolphins or turtles. Nothing is more focused on here than land and ocean. Hello, Goodbye, with love, mercy.
People here are very friendly, nice, and giving.
When you walk past people you don't know you smile and say Hi anyway. If someone needs something, you give it to them, or do it for them. If you are truly interested in the Hawaiian Culture, language, etc., please follow these links, you won't be sorry. I recommend Hawaii the Big Island for island information.
