Hawaii Nei
Hawaii's reputation as one of the world's most beautiful places is well-deserved. A day does not pass without a rainbow.
Still, you have to make an effort to really appreciate it. As a tourist, you are overwhelmed by the place, the mountains and colors and iridescent ocean, your attention flicking from view to view. As a resident, you become desensitized to it, bored, too busy.
Hawaii demands a mindset of constant acceptance, yet constant wonder.
