It aint all cool breaze n palm trees on Oahu BUT... The weather is great Food is good People are pretty laid back for the most part No gr*** shacks...we live in actual houses We live on "Hawaiian time" (you're gonna need to learn to do this)which means when we say 6:00 , we really mean 6'ish. The "Haole" thing don't really exist like potrayed in the movies/Tv There are Hot Rods here As far the bad goes... Cost of living ****s even in the **** parts of town, Thats why most home owners have 2-3 generations of family living in one house...Most people/families have to end up renting instead of buying. Bring at least 550+k for a house 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath small yard,no pool, no garage unless your lucky. No Hula girls handing out leis upon arrival Good jobs are hard to come by Meth problem is pretty bad but no m*** murder, serial killer stuff really goes on here. so raising a family here is good. o did i forget to mention NO Hula girls in coconuts? I'd say the island life is hard to beat. If you got the money to make the move cool, you should do it. If and when you make it down here look up Lucky444 and myself and we'll show you around.
