Guest -> Hello Everyone (4/4/2008 1:28:45 AM)

I am mainly here to meet new people, makes some new friends, and as always learn from both my mistakes & hopefully the mistakes of others so I do not have to repeat the ones someone has already done themselves. I look forward to meeting & making new friends here.

Best wishes to everyone in your search,
Tony

Hello and welcome to the forums Tony. It's good to learn from your mistakes. You never learn from your successes. Learning from others mistakes is much harder, but if you can that's great.

Again, Welcome,
Gem

Is that a Japanese name you have chosen as your ID? Just asking because I have always loved Japan & Japanese people since the first day I lived in Hawaii back in the 90's & took it in high school. I also very much love what many refer to as sushi which is in fact sashimi meaning raw fish though the picture you have is what really is sushi which is a combanation of seaweed, rice, and what ever else is added not just raw fish.

Thank you for kindness,
Tony

Aloha, Tony!
I lived in Hawaii as a child on the Big Island. I know shashimi and shushi, though there are shushi dishes that use raw meat. The variety of Japanese sushi are typically unknown to most Americans, sadly.
I hope to return to Hawaii at some point, it is where I would prefer to live. Most my family lives there. Not unusual as my mother's side of the family is Korean with my grandmother's parents having come from Korea during the first dispora.

I chose the icon because I do like sushi. Wish there were a good sushi house nearby, but there is not.

My name is my birth sign, plus.

Thats cool that your family is Korean as I have some good Korean friends also that I met when I lived in Hawaii back in 1996. Hyung was part of a Korean navy tour & I bumbed a cigarette off of him because as you may already know Korean 88 is a Korean Navy brand only because it was made to keep the sailors sterile while in service. I have never dated a Korean Lady wouldn't mind would be nice to have someone that could make me some Kimchee!

As for moving back to Hawaii good luck with that I moved back in April last year lasted about 1 1/2 months because the damn food prices are outrageous & I mean in all areas of the Islands not just tourist spots. Milk was like $9.00 a gal & meat well you don't even wanna know that as that was just mental! Only got like 2 days the whole time to go to the beach because I was looking for a place to rent as a roommate because all living costs are threw the roof. Many Hawaiians & other locals I once knew from school & so forth have all moved to the mainland because of the crazy prices so unless your rich good luck with that. When the Japanese are no longer Top in tourism you know something is wrong. Waikiki beach use to be loaded with Japanese tourists but not anymore unless its a special holiday because I went to check it out when I was back there & I met only a few Japanese but the ones I met were cool as always. So yeah my dreams to return to Hawaii rather died after that & I had forgotten just how bad the humidity can be when the trade winds aren't blowing reminds me of the old song "96 Degrees in the shade - by Hawaiian Style Band".

Love to become friends if your interested feel free to send me a invite to your friends if you like.

Aloha & Mahaloz,
Tony

I have it good. As I said, Most all my family lives there. I'd have a place to start from, at least.

Yeah, it gets humid out there, but being in the waters of Hawaii usually helps with that. [;)]

True that "being in the waters of Hawaii" I use to body board a lot when I lived there back in the days was a lot of fun I loved to go to places like Sandy Beach, Makapu'u, Point Panic, Pounders, Waikiki The Wall, and a few other places. Also use to spear fish with the Hawaiian sling spears all over Oahu & sometimes on Maui when I was with my foster dad there on his business for the TV station. I love Hawaii don't get me wrong but I don't have any family so no way to start out much of any where just gotta sort of take that leap of faith & hope I don't end up flat on my face. So I am confused I saw your profile but you don't look Korean were you adopted? I mean you look totally Haole man no worries just curious. Thank you for the replies & if you ever do get back home to the Islands keep me in mind because Hawaii is where my heart once was as far as calling something home.

Aloha & Mahaloz,
Tony
