A Wikiwiki Mai Lohilohi

When it comes to vacation spots, I've never understood the tropical resort option. Lounging on the beach with a drink in one hand and bronzer in the other has never sounded exciting to me. I've always preferred the idea of a winter tour of Europe, cities full of people, good food, and lots of adventure. However, I've made a decision - I'd very much like to go to Hawaii.
Not for the lounging-drink aspect, but for the culture. Today I downloaded a song called "Love Song of Kalua" that I first heard at Jeri's beledi performance and only just now was able to find, and it's my new favorite song. Hawaiian music just seems to suggest a certain characteristic of Hawaiian culture that makes it really interesting. I want to learn about hulas and surfing and Hawaiian mythology and anything else Hawaiian. Heck, I want to learn Hawaiian. That would be amazing.
It could be a phase. Maybe I just really like the song. But maybe it's not. Maybe I'll just have to go to Hawaii and see. Either way, I'll need something to tide me over. Lilo and Stitch is looking mighty nice right about now.
