Hawaiian Paradise?
After living in Honolulu, the Waikiki area, we have discovered the hidden “values” or lack of them on this one piece of God forsaken land some people refer to as paradise.
Paradise it is not here is a list bad thing with the area of Honolulu, which the brochures of visiting Paradise do not offer:
Food Cost is way above the mainland prices, with much price gouging of the tourist.
The locals have to learn where to shop to keep the price down although its’ still way too hi.
Cost of rent and purchasing a house 5-8 times that of the mainland.
Noise pollution and lots of it.
Heavy Drug users
Lots of homeless and/or insane people living on the streets other state have sent her with a one-way ticket to paradise.
Very high risk of Catching TB 2X+ that of the mainland, and much dirt and filth on the streets and in public places, many nosey dumpsters that run over with stench.
Hookers are abounding.
Thieves are all around, you must watch you back if you a tourist.
Food, mostly oriental in nature will make you sick.
The Humidity is Very high, Lots of Rain, at various times during the year.
It’s not safe to go out on the back streets at night and some even in the middle of the day.
This cultural mix only likes “white” mainlanders if you’re just visiting; else lots but not all hate the whites.
You will see no animals much on the island of Oahu, Just Pigeons & Rats.
People are just plain rude, no “southern hospitality” like where I came from in Tennessee.
Islanders think, the mainland US is mostly desert like Las Vegas their Favorite vacation destination.
Most white people that come here are either really young or really elderly from the mainland, and 99% of them wear Shirts and dress slouchy. Asiatic people dress to the 9’s one the other hand, so the impression is mainland Americans, as well as Canadians are slobs. (And I can see their point)
This is the nosiest place I have ever lived on earth… no serenity in Honolulu or surrounding area.
Housing is Crowded and expensive, many natives live in shacks because of the influx of tourist money and investments in high-rises from abroad.
Gas prices are ridiculously high, yet Hawaii has gas production facilities and exports many metric tons of crud oil to the orient and Australia.
Pineapples are priced high for the tourist.
The population is overcrowded… and you should watch you back at all times to keep from being attack, jacked up and having you money and jewelry stol
