Review of Urban Honolulu, Hawaii


Hawaii is great but not Waikiki is not for living
Star Rating - 4/22/2013
Iv been living in Waikiki area for the past few months and living cost here is driving me crazy. Especially, food.
I don't understand why they have this special Waikiki price in the fast food places like in Mcdonals and burger king. I mean who the hell wants to pay $9 for a whopper buger meal? Are you kidding me? And so as big Mac meal!? Why do I have to pay $10 for the supposed to taste same in everywhere burger? And because they have such a beautiful tropical weather, I was expecting to eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies for low price. No. They cost much more than main land of the states. Like almost double.
I love Hawaii, but not Waikiki. It is not a place for living. Just bunch of tourists spending for holiday. Go other places in Hawaii!
