I am happy you enjoy it! I do my best ;)

Why not? it's healthy to compare things and to analise thing. Yes but I reckoned the fact that I filmed someone getting a tattoo made it clear that they still did it today haha. I don't know until what time the market continued but maybe that was the case indeed, but to be fair it had rained quite some that day so it was soggy and wet. I am sorry I didn't quite get what you mean about the church, never guess what exactly? Sorry but we are taught to question everything in our country and to analise everything so I am not sure what you mean. Wow in your house?? I didn't know that was possible, here that would be illegal. To me like I said that would feel creepy but many cultures have different attitudes to death. We mostly cremate them and that's it really.

G'day mate! I am Dutch Australian but always lived in The Netherlands ;)

You don't have a culture

That’s very interesting 🤔. Here that would be illegal I think. But it’s an interesting cultural difference. Because I wouldn’t find it reassuring if my parents were in my garden.

I didn’t try much of the food there because the quality is made for their stomachs and not mine 😅

Sorry there werent any cabbage soups for your consumption.

what's a cabbage soup?? Sorry but I have stomach issues, I already have problems with food in my own country so that's why I said that. Don't judge something if you don't know the whole story. I wish I could just eat anything from anywhere I go but unfortunately I can't.

Wow how is that even possible? Across the ridges?! That’s amazing !🤩

Really, is there a reason for that? They know if it's a rental? I never had something like this before or in another country so I was definitely panicking a bit haha.

@ of course they know if the vehicle is a rental, tourists pay as they don’t have a choice.

Very sneaky!

Really?! is it like a thing over there? I was flabbergasted by how difficult the whole parking thing was!

@@thecluelesstraveller Yeah thy tow first ticket later. You don't even get a warning. There was a scandal recently where a tow company was scamming people but everyone knows the city is colluding with them. Individuals come last in Hawaii, the rich come first.

yes I have to change the thumbnail, I ended up switching the vowels, my bad!

Yes I ended up switching the vowels, my bad. I generally do my best to pronounce them correct, I know they use a similar pronunciation to ours because they use the continental European vowels and not English ones.

sorry I didn't understand what you mean here....?

@@thecluelesstraveller My favorite word! It starts with N.

@@Pugman69420 You lost me....

Surprisngly I am Dutch infact, altough it's not as thick as some of my counterparts have it haha

Typical imperialist annexationist rationale

I don't know your family history but all I can say is that yes there were tribal wars before the modern times started. Hawaii and the USA had official relations and the USA broke that in a dirty way....

@thecluelesstraveller no they didnt.. crown lands still exist. Therefor the kingdom still kind of exists.. therefor the USA only annexed part of hawaii.. the good or bad of it is only perspective and opinion..

@thecluelesstraveller also if you don't know my family's history then you don't know the whole story..

Is your family so important? What’s your family’s name?

Yeah it's amazing!

Thanks for your comment! I figured there must have been a meaning behind putting them together indeed. Put thanks for comfirming that! I guess this would go over some people's heads. A lot of symbolism involved.

Yes I still have to change the thumbnail once, I changed the title though

Wow that's special and very respectful. So many young men died without even knowing what was going on. We must never forget them!

Yes exactly! You think " I can see it therefor it's close" But the altitude get's you in the end. So don't play around because you will feel the burn in your lungs

Well you already live there so that's even better haha but as you know things are pretty expensive there, I can definitly recommend trying it out ;)

@@thecluelesstraveller I’d like to try it one day!

Thanks a lot!

Yes for a hot second I was like "Whut?!" But luckily I know that IS was never in this city so it didn't make sense anyway. But it's definitly very confrontational !

That’s good. It’s good to be independent and live how you want to live. :) if people love their lives than this is the most important ;)

Thanks mate! I appreciate that, I try my best. :). Well considering that the big island is still active I would certainly do that one. Haleakala is nice for the views etc But! For car sick people it’s not fun. In that case I would do Moana Kea because it’s super easy to reach, not many curves if you stay at the 3000 M point. Kilauea is active and the south east has big lava fields which you don’t have on Maui (rocky old ones yes).

It wasn’t a rental. I was doing house sitting so I had their car. The owners promised me to refund me but in the end stop replying. I mean it’s ok but just say it from the get go. So I had no rules or anything. And even if I did, I barely entered a dirt road. Maybe 20 meters max. I don’t think this was some kind of holy land otherwise it wouldn’t look like a dump. These were just thugs. But even if it were locals, breaking someone’s property is not acceptable?! Are we excusing this behaviour? Don’t think that “culture” can excuse malicious actions.

Again nobody mentioned this and I hadn’t read anything about this specifically. Just in general that it happens all over the island.

Ok so it’s just normal to expect that? I made quite some friends on the island and I did house sitting for locals. None of them specifically mentioned anything about such areas. I wasn’t frolicking around I was just looking around, that shouldn’t mean that you automatically deserve such things. Or are we at this point in society that it’s just normal now? I don’t think so.

ooh shoot! thanks mate!

As always thanks a lot! You are to kind really. I try my best to make it somewhat interesting. But it’s a learning process

Wow that's amazing! You seem to have had a heck of life, but there is nothing better than home ;). I am happy you enjoyed it

Yes that's true, you have more ways to look at it. The Zambia side is more adventurous I think. No problem it was my pleasure!

@thecluelesstraveller Yes I agree, the Zambian side has the knife-edge bridge n devil's pool..more adventurous 👍🏾

Well I am Dutch so we are used to the rain haha, we bike through it every time. But yeah travel doesn't always mean clear skies everyday and you have to use your days so you have to become creative! But sometimes it can be a challenge

You are right, I guess Hawaii hasn't accepted this fact yet haha, I see that they discovered this in 2013. Moana Loa is still the most massive active volcano though. Thanks for the correction! together we all become a little less clueless

Oh really? I had no idea, didn't see any signs about it to be fair. It seemed pretty normal to go to. Generally they have big signs but not always so it's hard to know where these areas are sometimes. As far as I have understood they resort to violence sometimes which is a bit extreme in my opinion.

@@thecluelesstraveller Being a very isolated village, Hana locals are very protective of their resources, particularly Hana. Hana is the most isolated village in the whole state and the largest population of Kanaka Maoli. So many reasons to protect and cherish. Aloha!

Ah right ok, that's interesting. I thought it was Niihau. They should put some signs there maybe, it's also mentioned online everywhere as a tip to go there so I had no idea

If you watched the video you understand that it's true and advertised by Hawaii even so.... nothing click bait just facts

Ok? explain please... Something obvious for 1 person isn't for the other of course. We are all here to learn

Still haven't learned anything from your feedback so keen to eleborate? Or just here to be negative to people without reason?

@@thecluelesstraveller when traveling you shouldn't be so clueless. ask locals questions & do your research

At least someone paid attention haha

We learn how to drive stick shift and have one of the hardest driving exams in the world, Americans would need to redo the exam here because theirs isn't sufficient here. I know how to drive. So driving an automatic on these roads is peanuts. And of course I do it when it's safe

@@thecluelesstraveller the exact kind of attitude that causes accidents. Have fun in your complacency, Mr holier than thou lmfao

I have driven in multiple countries, I always pay attention, I never drink. I know how to adapt. Has nothing to do wtih "holy" or not. In this case traffic was slowed down and I had time to fillm. Simple as that

@thecluelesstraveller complete disregard for the laws because you have driven in other places and don't drink? Brother you need to introspect a little

I never disregarded the law anywhere?? I know myself and that's all I am going to say, I dont have to defend myself to anybody. You are over reacting or looking for an unnecessary fight. I am here for positivity and learning together. I take your comment as advice and thank you for it.

Wow that would be such a unique experience! I know that many celebrities live there so I guess the chances are high to meet one. Yeah I know but I reckoned I was almost there anyway so I just waited. Yes for me such things wouldn't be enjoyable because I am just to focused on getting through and out of it and not on looking around. Once I took a boat tour to watch dolphines and I took my pill to late and in the end we did see many dolphins but the biggest memory I have is just how bad I wanted to get of that boat, I couldn't enjoy the dolphins. So I learned that it's not worth it when you feel bad, you can't enjoy it. Yes I knew it was somewhere there but I didn't have time anymore to look for it.

George Harrison's place is still owned by his family in lower Nihiku. The place is immaculate and yes right on the ocean with amazing waterfalls during rain storms. It's an amazing place!

Jim Neighbors had a place in Hana. Also Kris Kristopherson still lives in Hana. Has a nice house on the mountain. He's still kicking!

That's cool! I didn't know that

Yeah I read about the famous people living around there! pretty cool but I also heard about all the housing prices spiking up and ordinary Hawaiians not being able to live there anymore

I gave the owner the benefit of the doubt and I didn't want to leave again and pack my stuff etc, the other stuff I noticed during the rest of the week and yeah if I would have known before I wouldn't have stayed there but I figured I need a place to work and that the rest of the day I would just be away. The owner told me he just started to rent out that particular room and normally doesn't do that. He has only good reviews on Airbnb for the other unit in the front. So I reckoned it wasn't malicious or anything. And I didn't want to be that person that leaves and says "yeah all was fine" and slam him with a nasty review afterwards. So what I did was leave a normal review on the platform but I left him a personal message and honest opinion and feedback, so he can improve. I want to give people a chance to improve. So maybe he did something with the advice who knows. I am not here to judge anybody

Basically Wailea area but this was Mokapu beach for example

Yeah I gave it the benefit of the doubt because I just got there and didn't want to change immediatly. But it was definitely strange the whole week. I left him a very honest long feedback but not a negative public one. I want to give people the chance to improve and not be this kind of person that walks away and says "all was good" and smack them with a negative review online.

I think the USA is not very clear on it's own rules many times and they are to flexible with the rules. Taking right turns on red?? very dangerous because it's a window where 2 lanes could meet, aka accident potential. Also on the motorway they can overtake left right or the middle, to me it's like American roulette, Here that's very illegal. You only overtake on the left and that's it. Next to that the teenage drivers learn driving with their parents, they get their licenses as if it was in a Kellogs box. Then there is the customisation stuff, what is this? Disney land? Driving a car is serious, all these crazy things make it dangerous and look more like a game maybe. And yes walkability is non existend in the USA, I also caught myself driving from one car park to another where I would normally just walk that bit. It doesn't invite walking at all.
