Aloha! This is the son of the owner of Erica's Store! Just wanted to say thank you for stopping by and talking story with her. She enjoyed it and can't wait to see you two again. Her name is Rowena, the store is named after her daughter (my sister). Hawaii itself is a big melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, many immigrating from across the pacific. Also being from Hawaii, we're not really considered Hawaiian as that refers to being Kanaka or Native Hawaiian. The term that is mostly used is "local" as it covers a vast population of those who have lived in Hawaii extensively and even those who are born here. My mom has extensive retail experience as she was a manager at Carter's, Macy's and Charlotte Russe. All without a college degree! Filipino food is good for the soul, but bad for the body lol. But again, much mahalos for stopping by and featuring her on the vlog! Safe travels and be blessed! :D
I’m glad to see Rowena here. I shopped at her shop both times I was there and the second time was this past July and I brought my sisters. Tell her I said Hi!
Chris loves tacos!!! 😂 Erica was awsome what a great energy she carried & spread. Wish you would have gotten Gladys that same yellow matching top to your shirt 🥰 You should definitely do a US China Town series. Would be epic. All the best to you and Gladys.
Chris LOVES TACOS! Great video, as always. Hawaii is a special place. The culture is wonderful. Also, each island is different in many ways. Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful seeing this on a chilly, snowy day in Pennsylvania
hey Chris you keep on saying your on the big island on Oahu it’s not the big island the big island is actually called Hawaii a place you should definitely visit
Great videos Chris myself and wife moved from Ireland to Lanzarote we like to travel alot mite start blogging myself after watching ur channels. We both went to Hawaii a few years ago we got engaged there hint hint It a must u go and see Diamond Head ,if u go make sure u go early in the morning gets very hot walking up Diamond head and bring water
You are a beautiful couple! Love your channel! Love your tours. Some day I’ll have the money to visit all the places you’ve filmed. Keep up the good work.
It is so important to make a list of transportation at a place to make the most out of it. Hawaii is one of those places where car rentals are needed to explore the different places. It is cheaper than using taxis or uber. Tours are the best ways to spend your money in a place. You learn so much and really get the feel about a place. Hawaii is made up for hundreds of islands, but just a few main islands. The highlights of Oahu, a main island of Hawaii, include Iolani Palace, Kawaiahaʻo Church, Waikiki Beach, North Shore Beaches, Waipahu Plantation Village, Polynesian Cultural Center, Manoa Hike, Bishop Museum, Sea Life Park, Diamond Head Hike, Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial, Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden, Waimea Valley, Valley of the Temple Memorial Park, and Kaena Point. The list isn't exhaustive, but will give you a feel of Hawaii. A car is a definite must.
Mr. Chris:Welcome to Chinatown,Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend in great joy & peace to meet some friendly Filipino women chatting with them & also shopping on the street markets in Hawaii in great joy January of 2024❤❤❤Congratulations to you guys for your three new remarkable videos released in Honolulu, Hawaii January of 2024❤❤❤
Super dope content. Miss the islands so much. Just a heads up though. It's "Islands of Hawaii" or if you are referring to the island that Honolulu is on, it's the island of Oahu
There’s also a lot of crackheads in Chinatown Chris! I lived in Hawaii almost my whole life..met my wife there and all of my kids were born there. There’s no doubt Hawaii is paradise, but there are some places there that is dangerous and Chinatown being one of them, especially at nights! I live in Texas now but watching your vlog it looks like they cleaned up Chinatown a little bit just don’t go there at nights. Watching your vlog brought back a lot of memories. Don’t know if you’re still there, but i would really recommend you to go to the windward side of the island …Kailua, Kaneohe and the North Shore where the beaches aren’t so crowded and the scenery is amazing! Watching your vlog brought back a lot of memories…mahalo for sharing! Stay safe & God bless! Aloha . 🤙 🤙
Chris loves tacos! Hey dude you’re awesome to follow I enjoy kicking back and learning about different countries and enjoying your good vibes my man. Take care! Joe -
FYI, Chris....@ >1:00...building to your left, at harbor-side...was part of 1920-30s passenger cruise lines terminal. Further down from that is Aloha Tower which, for a time, was the tallest building in the territory @ 10 stories/186 ft. Going past that, is the USCG office. You're correct, in that >95% of ALL goods...vehicles, groceries, construction material, etc., etc...EVERYTHING....enters Hawaii thru HNL Harbor. Those docks are
Chris, you keep saying that you are on the island of Hawaii, but you are actually on the island of Oahu. The Island of Hawaii is the big Island. Honolulu is in Oahu. 😊
Its part of our culture history its called kukui nut shells!Woven with skill and intention, this lei is a token of love, respect and admiration. Traditionally, the giving of a kukui nut lei symbolizes a deep bond between individuals, whether it be between friends, family members or lovers. It is a gesture of aloha, conveying sentiments of warmth and affection.
Downtown (Hotel Street) Used to have a lady that had amazing muscle control down there. (before my time) she would give exact change in quarters. Fly a hard boiled egg at someone and of course your ping pong balls.
hey Chris and Glades i love this video off the chinatown and the lovely lady howes selling the yellow shirt .and i love the long video and chris love,s taco,s😂😊❤
Hawaii has problems with homeless like most places but these homeless come from the mainland... there State gives them a one way ticket to come here bcz of the cold...Hawaii has been trying to return them or help them to recover n Chinatown has been neglected by City n County...that historic building u saw Wo Fat was a famous Chinese restaurant that used to hold many Weddings n high end occasions...Hawaii has practically every nationality we’re call the international place of the world ...did u get to go to a luau on the west side of Oahu it’s pretty kool .... I enjoy ur videos ur a very considered person n well mannered n pleasant 🌺
If you’re still on island try doner shack, Le’s banh mi, fort ruger market, olays, 808 tacos don Chema, Rico Rico chicken, pho to-chau, no name bbq sandwich, and the hot food items at Don quijote
Mr. Chris:Welcome to Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii to tours the city in great joy & peace to meet more Filipino people in Chinatown January of 2024❤❤❤Congratulations to you guys to explores Chinatown & other amazing places in Honolulu, Hawaii January of 2024❤❤❤
Feliz ñoooooo¡¡ Chris y Gladys, un abrazooooo en Honolulu, el nombre me viene a la mente películas de guerra y acción. hace tiempo, nO se si Gladys recuerda tuvimos la moda Hawayana, y eso eso camisas Hawayanas, fiestas Hawayanas y veíamos en un canal de tv, bailes hermosos de mujeres.
3:40 That corner is "The Dragons Mouth" I have no idea why😅 Something about being the gateway to Chinatown. It was a fun hangout spot at night. Fun as in bizarre.
FYI....@ 10:00...The fire that gutted Chinatown started out as a "controlled burn" to eradicate rodents that carried bubonic plague. But, like everything else, Mother Nature had other ideas & high winds quickly spread the controlled burn & the ensuing inferno destroyed 8 blocks, >7000+ homes & caused $1.5M in damages.... ....BTW...When referring to "Hawaii" you could be referring to the State of Hawaii OR the island of Hawaii aka Big Island. For future reference, think of Hawaii (state) as consisting of different counties....1)Kauai & Ni'ihau; 2) HNL, Oahu; 3) Maui County=Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, Kaho'olawe; 4) Hawaii island aka Big Island
Chris Loves Tacos. Gladys Loves Shopping 😅... I really enjoyed that very sociable Filipina selling Hawaiian shirts. I can relate coz i'm a talkative pinoy as well, got it from my mom 😅...
Saw comment about the Union Jack in the flag. Hawaii was never British. The Union Jack was added in Honor of Captain Cook charting the islands. (Not discovered since the Polynesians did that centuries earlier). The stripes represent the main islands.
Chris loves taco😁you are brave to be in Chinatown there. We were told so many times not to go there by locals after 2pm. It’s why they closed early and there a security guy
Aloha!
