anyone seen this review of the north shore?
http://www.latimes.com/travel/la-tr-...la-home-travel
This jerk from el lay times recommends coming here to pet sea turtles...
sheesh.
This is another in a long line of irresponsible, presumptuous, blowhard mainlander reviews of Hawaii.
Too many here on Oahu would take exception to the general tone of this article, especially the incredibly idiotic, irresponsible, ignorant quote describing the experiences the North Shore affords: "It is a sleepy place with a frisson of decadence" with "giant sea turtles you can pet".
ALL sea turtles are protected as endangered species under state and federal law. Harassment and disturbance are strictly prohibited. This includes any physical contact with a turtle.
And you don't second guess the many reasons for the law. And you don't come here and get pissed off because you are restricted in your behavior. And then find ways to push your weight around to get what you want and demand to be satisfied.
One thing locals are tired of is the "ugly american" syndrome too many visitors display, happily promulgating the stereotype.
And you don't assume "keep out" signs are not to be taken literally. Jeez. What a creep.
