Thus Begins the Chronicle of my Three Weeks in Hawaii Studying Intercultural Communication

Fact one: I like Hawaii.

Fact two: I do not think I would want to live here permanently.

Of course, these observations are made after less than twenty-four hours here. I’ve barely done more than dip my toes into the ocean.  I still have a lot to learn about the culture and the island. I like that everything is so relaxed here—I could get used to the less formal lifestyle.

Now why would I not want to live in Hawaii? you may be wondering. And here’s why—I think Oahu is beautiful—I love that there are mountains here. However, much like back home, it is easy to forget the beauty that is around you when it surrounds you all the time.

As for the culture—there is a difference here, and I am looking forward to finding out more. So, until I learn more—here is the beach just down the road from where we are staying.  And the sunset.  Lots more pictures and updates to come in the next couple of weeks!

Unfortunately, my camera decided to focus on the grass, not the flower :(
