Da Hood

I noticed another thing about the locals here in HI, they all say the word 'cannot.' None of them can simply just say 'can't,' or 'won't.' I guess it all balances out, it sounds sorta sophisticated to say the whole thing instead of a contraction. And for every da kine out there who talks pidgin there is someone, somewhere, who eloquently says cannot.

I finally took some pics of the new hood. Everything is pretty close to me, bars, groceries, Chinatown, even the state capitol is within a mile.


View from Vineyard and Pali, right around my place.


Safeway and Longs. So overpriced, they take all my money away. But right across the street.


University Plaza, or whatever it's called. Just a little bit past Safeway.


In between downtown and Chinatown there is a fountain. About 4 blocks away.


Somewhere in Maunakea Marketplace, Chinatown.

I'm a little bit frustrated that Longs, the drugstore around my place, will not let me process a film roll and put it into a CD without buying a set of prints. How oppressive is that? They wanna milk me for all my money, and their print machine's color balance is not good at all. Oh well, next time I must bike 2.5 miles to Walgreens or Walmart just so I will not have to pay for crappy prints.
