Aloha!

 

 Aloha! I took early holiday and flew to Hawaii last week ;)
I would like to share some of my pictures.

Me from a hotel room,
Japanese temple in Oahu island (In 1920, 43% of Hawaii's population was Japanese. (included my grandfather!) )
We hiked and went to the top of the Diamond head.
Beautiful Tropical forest.

One of my favorite shopping area is "International Market Place".
How warm and friendly look this entrance is.
(These three images are from other websites.)

You can buy local souvenirs, Hawaiian dress and accessories from individual venders.
They are located in a center of Waikiki area but they are surrounded by natural trees. It is like you are in forest while shopping.

It is too bad that they will be torn down in a few months and will be developed just like other shopping center which it doesn't attract me at all!  It will look like another Rodeo Drive..

 

(Sorry! this post is not much to do with "ART")
