Hawaii pt. 2

Typical tourist photo at Pearl Harbor




Typical Japanese one maned suicide torpedo...




Pretty much any direction you look towards the ocean in Hawaii its probably suitable for a Windows desktop background photo.




 After a few days on Oahu I went over to Maui to meet a good friend of mine (who apparently is from Hawaii.) The next few days are sort of a blur or snorkeling, foosball, Korean karaoke (yes there is a difference) and diving. I didn't take pictures of any of these things because I'm a slacker.

I did how ever take some photos of this:


This is a loco moco, typical Hawaiian breakfast which consists of:
              1. bed of rice
              2. large hamburger patty
              3. three fried eggs
              4. fried onions
              5. fried mushrooms
              6. side of macaroni salad
              7. slather everything in gravy

Shave ice is also pretty awesome - start with a base of ice cream, cover with shaved ice, sugar syrup, and some sweet cream. Amazing.



The trip wasn't all fun and games though, I did learn some stuff. For example, The state of Hawaii eats more spam per capita  then any other state in the US. They love it so much they even have a "spam jam" in Waikiki every year, complete with a spam parade. I'm not even really sure what that means... But it exists, look it up!




And welcome back to Canada....
