Aloha everyone~~
I am moving to Oahu this Sunday and will be staying with friends in Kaaawa. They are helping me with job leads and such, however I am curious what y'all think of the advantages of looking 'native' when trying to fit in on the islands. Both times I have visited Oahu I was often mistaken for a resident (I am Asian & Native American). I am hoping my appearance will help me get a job, or at least encourage residents to give me more of a chance than they would a typical 'haole.' FYI, I am female, late twenties, from Calif. Any thoughts/advice/comments would be cheerfully appreciated! Mahalo
