Relocation in Hawaii
If you're moving to Hawaii, you'll need some
sympathy: chances are your friends will stop speaking to you out of jealousy.
Luckily for you, there are few peoples on earth as hospitable as Hawaiians.
And even if some may bemoan the big business that hospitality has become in
Hawaii, blocking volcanic vistas with towering beachfront hotels, there are
few locals who don't understand it.
Stitched together from eight main islands that
stretch over an ocean expanse of 1,600 miles, Hawaii is a world apart from
the rest of the U.S. Almost 2,500 miles west of California, Hawaii's environment
seems as distant as the far side of the moon from anywhere in the lower 48.
Hawaii's legendary shoreline boasts miles of white sand, as well as black,
grey, brown, red and green sand beaches. The experience of relaxing on a Hawaiian
beach can only be matched by hiking Hawaii's rainforest in Akaka State Park,
or watching luminescent lava cascade down the sides of Kilauea, the world's
largest and most active volcano, at night.
Diamond Head, the beachside peak on Oahu that
Hawaii's surfers and tourists use as a point of reference when exploring the
island got its name from the first European explorers, 18th century British
sailors who mistook shimmering crystals on the cliff for actual diamonds.
After a couple days in Hawaii, you'll know what they didn't: Hawaii itself
is the real gem.
Now that you're moving to Hawaii, there are a
couple facts you'll want to remember:
- The population of Hawaii is 1,211,537. Hawaii's state capital (and largest
city) is Honolulu.
- Tourism is Hawaii's largest industry, but the state also supplies one
third the world's commercial pineapple stock and is the only place in
America where coffee is grown on an industrial scale.
- Like California, Hawaii's population doesn't have any clear ethnic or
racial majority. Native Hawaiians, of Polynesian descent, intermingled
with the European, Chinese, Japanese and Filipino settlers who've arrived
over the years. Many Hawaii residents claim multiples ancestries and a
hybrid language, pidgin Hawaiian, is spoken by almost everyone.
- Hawaii state law makes it an offense to not own a boat; violators may
be fined.
