Lui Faat Keung, Fred, University of Hawaii at Manoa, U.S.A.
Day 1
Super
beautiful scenery from my friend’s host home. It is located at the centre of
the town. The mountain is the symbol of Oahu – Diamond Head. We can see awesome
sunrise and sunset there. Guess how much HKD you need to pay for a double floor
flat like this? The answer is HKD3 million. I am not kidding but the apartment
price is much more reasonable outside Hong Kong.
Day 2
Waikiki
beach is famous around the world. It is also the most popular beach in Oahu.
Life in Hawaii can be as relax as lying on the beach with some relaxing music
or a book for a whole day. We often go there because it is near downtown and we
enjoy shopping and surfing at the same time. When you stay with friends, you
will feel time flies easily indeed.
Day 3
First
time to hike in Diamond Head. It is not really difficult to get in. It should
be counted as beginner level among the hiking trails in Oahu. Since Oahu itself
is an island, there are a lot of adventure trails there. Some of them are
already prohibited by the government but people still go there for excitement.
This time, I participated in a day trip organized by the student club. The trip
will travel to the east side and the south side of Oahu. Diamond Head is one
stop in the trip. At the top, we can have beautiful scenes of Oahu. It includes
the scene of the most famous beach – Waikiki beach.
Day 4
Trick
or treats?? Fabulous moment to have Halloween day in a western country!! All
people dressed up in different customs. Guess what did I dress? Lol, I dressed
up as a Hula dancer. Hula is one traditional dancing in Hawaii. I also asked
girls to lend me the bracelet as well. People are crowded in Waikiki. At that
time, we wanted to gather our friends, but the mobile signal is jammed because
there are too much people in that area. We all had great time at that night and
took a lot of photos. After that, we still have a hotel party. Life is always
cool in Hawaii.
Day 5
Time
to travel to another island. Oahu is the most popular island among the islands
in Hawaii. Apart from that, some visitors will try to go to some other islands
as well. This time, we chose Big Island
to go. We have reserved 2 cars and 12 people go there together. Big Island is
famous for the volcano and the highest mountain in the world. We went to the volcano
national park and the scenes there are awesome. Somehow I feel it is more epic
than The Grand Canyon. We also drove the car to the mountain with 2000 meters
above sea level. (We might reach high as 4000 meters above sea level.) The moon
we saw there was ultimately big. It seems we can catch the moon by our hands.
Interesting is that, we need to prepare winter clothing at the time we went
there. (It is Hawaii, you know!)
