I have been to Hawaii many times because I have cousins there and love it!
Since I always stay with my cousins, I never really do the usual touristy things in Waikiki for which I am grateful!
But I was just curious, what do most of you consider to be things unique to locals that set them apart from tourists, or how would a visitor act like a local as soon as possible?
Some of the ones I thought of? Food--spam for breakfast and big lunch specials with those mounds of rice, macaroni salad, etc.
Shopping--avoiding the ABC stores and going to the big box stores, trying to save a buck just like the mainlanders do, like at Walmart's. Buying souvenirs for friends on the mainland at Long's when they have sales or the flea market?
Talking, walking slower?
Any others?
