Here are some of my random observations about this place:

~The island of Oahu has an Interstate Highway system, but you can’t use it to travel to any other state.

~Sales tax is a hair over 4% and it’s called a General Excise Tax (GET). Meaning you pay it on everything.

~Beaches are free but in some rare cases access may be limited.

~Always ask for kama’aina prices which can sometimes be lower for residents.

~I find drivers here to be exceedingly courteous.

~I rarely hear loud music emanating from vehicles.

~Car horns are infrequently used.

~Parking spaces are very, very narrow.

~Beaches have public toilets, but many eateries do not.

~ I have not found a speed limit of over 60mph.

~There seems to be no rhyme or reason to traffic patterns.

~Kinds of trees such as a Mango tree, are locations in directions.

~Streets change names with alarming frequency.

~Slow and slower is normal.
