I went for an annual check-up this morning. When the male doctor showed up, I practically told him that I saw his father about 3-4 years ago. (This is because the doctor's last name is very unusual.) He looked at me and said: "I saw you 3-4 years ago (while he looked at my medical file), and we ar ...

I hope my friends are enjoying their Sunday back home. The weather here is still worse than normal: Down-poured at night (or did I imagine it?), windy and cold during the day. I am not going to try my new bathing suit, yet.

I have lived in Honolulu for more than 10 years, so I know a lot of fun places and good restaurants. BUT, I don't know everything. Here is a list of things that I discovered today, when I "toured" some new and old friends from 8 am to 9 pm. 1) KCC Farmers' Market is packed with tourists, thanks t ...
