Re: Would you move back to Hawaii?
ah - I so enjoy reading about the miserable time some folks have when living here, how bad the racism is, how unhappy they are/were. If you don't like it here - LEAVE! It's really easy - just buy a plane ticket and say "Bye, Bye".
It's tough living on an island - it takes endurance. It takes courtesy, respect for others cultures and it takes some humility when you come from another place & culture to simply step back, back off & learn how to behave.
to "Haole Pupule" - Bruce was correct in telling you it would have been polite to introduce yourself & ask permission of the folks already there to surf. What would it have cost you to behave in a respectful way? What would it cost any of you whiners to simply step back, observe and learn how to behave? It is our obligation when coming to someone else's home, their "place", to learn how to fit in and how to behave. To learn the customs and the local life style. Life is really enjoyable if you can do that.
I would never want to live anywhere else. Oh, and I am white but please god, I'm not "haole". and many of you reading this will know exactly what I mean
