What ideas do you have about Hawaii?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37370points) December 13th, 2009

I live in Hawaii, but before I moved here 12 years ago, I had many preconceived ideas. Some were true and some were false.

One idea was that the place was surrounded by sandy beaches, which is only half true. Sand is rare here and most of the coastline is made up of volcanic rock.

One common mistake is that Honolulu, the capital, is on the Big Island while it’s actually on Oahu.

What do you think of Hawaii? Responses from those who’ve been here and those who haven’t are more than welcome.
