Kahuku, Hawaii

When I lived in L.A., people kept trying to talk me into going to Hawaii. 

"It's got beaches!"  they exclaimed.

I should fly 6 hours across the Pacific for beaches?  We have them in L.A., and I never go.

The only reason I would go to Hawaii would be to see some Hawaiian culture.  Almost no one speaks Hawaiian as their first language anymore, but there are 600,000 native speakers of Hawaiian Pidgin.



Like Kahuku, a small town on the north side of Oahu, over an hour's drive from Honolulu.  Not much to do there except go swimming and surfing, like everywhere else on the island.and stop in at Lani's Yummy Yum Funnel Cakes.

Are you kidding?  I'm definitely getting some Yummy Yum Funnel Cakes!  Broke mouf!


Kahuku High School, "The Pearl of the North Shore,"  has 1400 students. It offers a Hawaiian Immersion Program whereby most classes are taught in Hawaiian.  Sports include surfing, soccer, beach volleyball, and wrestling, but no swimming.


And football, of course.  Momo boy been cockroaching da funnel cake.


Anybody wearing a crown draws my attention.  Da kine so ono.
