I am going there in a month (against my will, BTW) and wonder if I can buy a large, cheap knife to wield at would-be attackers, then discard it before getting on the plane to go home.
A friend of mine has lived there for 25 yrs.........and he’s still Haole.
It was certainly present when I was stationed there in the mid 70’s.
Geez — two places I’ve never really wanted to go. Las Vegas and Hawaii. Now, I’d love to see Hawaii, but I don’t like to go where I’m not wanted. And therre is nothing I can’t stand worse than a bunch of people living on tourist dollars who spend their time hating tourists.
