Hi Raina! Hawaii resident here, which is why I clicked when it popped up, and I also enjoy your eating challenges. Glad you had a chance to visit! Just a tiny clarification though....there ARE a bunch of ABC stores, but they are concentrated mostly in the Waikiki and Ala Moana area where you stayed which us why it might seem like they outnumber 7-11's, but we do actually have more 7-11's overall. They are owned by Japanese. In my small neighborhood alone, we have 5. ABC's are also quite expensive because they are trying to catch the tourist dollar, so if you want to buy chocolate macadamia nuts, do not go to ABC. Better off going to Don Quijote near Ala Moana SC.
My mom grew up in Hawaii, when she took us to visit as kids we started calling the ABC stores All Blocks Covered. You can stand in one and see the next one from the door. It at least you could 15ish years ago.
Thank you for posting this video I haven’t been to Hawaii yet but will very soon I’m always looking at Hawaii food tours and will try the abc store goods just because I watched this. I do have a list full of places to eat and I will put this on my list to try ❤
Im psyched you came to NY. I was impressed you came to NY in the winter. Winter in NY sucks Im psyched for your Hawaii and Asia trip. Cant WAIT for the videos!
I remember the nicest people the most on my trip to Hawaii. Everyone looking out for each other, everyone willing to chat with you or hang out even!! It was so cool!!
Dear Raina, what experience did you have in your first night in Hawaii!! Thanks God you were helped by nice and kind people. This video was very interesting and full of delicious food. I hope you have a very safe and wonderful Asian food tour, and God bless you, protect you, and be with you always!!!🥰🍙🤗🍱🥟
Just found your page! New subscriber. I love your genuine energy and personality. I'm excited for your Asian tour! Stay safe and happy eating! Maybe one day you will stop my my little island in the pacific, Guam. 🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺
There are hand crank chargers for your phone. They work great in emergencies. I have a Red Cross branded one that doubles as a flashlight. If you carry a purse or something, you might want to keep one in there.
You are not stupid hon. Things happen to everyone. Glad you got back in safely. Enjoyed the food in this video and look forward to you meeting up with Randy and Katina. 🥰❤️
Proof there are good people in this world still. I'm glad they all helped you. I myself am such a kind and helpful person. We need them! Glad you had safe travels but that sounds so stressful. And thanks for the content, as always. Here's to unspoken heroes that just take time to be helpers. ❤
Hi Raina!!! The foods at The ABC Stores sure do look tasty... Wish I could taste them. I enjoyed this. Hope you had a wonderful time. Great Video!!!...🦋
I really enjoyed this video. Nice change from challenges all the time. I want to go to Waikiki some day, before my mother passed it was her favorite place.
Crazy story Raina. Glad you are back on track. That food must have looked and tasted like gourmet cuisine after what you went through. Not bad for everything being pre-packed. Great day!
The ABC stores are so awesome!! Best to go to the swap meet at the stadium for take home trinkets. Much less expensive than on Waikiki beach area! And super cool too! 🩷👍
ABC Stores are only in tourist spots like Waikiki. 7-11 is all over and is owned by 7-11 Japan, so the set up is almost like Japan when it comes to food.
It's funny how you said about being Asian and noticing the 20% off wrap. I'm disabled and chronically ill so have very little money which means I'm always noticing the discounted food options 😂. There is almost nothing wrong with it and you get to experience food that you otherwise would miss out on because of the original cost. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
I love your post I'm glad everything worked out okay you really should have a portable power bank with you they're super cheap and you're you will always have battery for your phone
Ooohhh damn I was just about to say...did you tip them?....Yes you did tip them!!! Good Move! My mom taught me to tip, especially people who come to help you out! 💖💖💖💖💖
See Hawaii is pretty cool 😎 the people there are so nice see how beautiful the ocean 🌊🏖️ the school at the beach I'm in there once in Hawaii why you so beautiful all agree food if food is so wonderful 😊 that's why I'm so happy aloha
Not sure if you knew but there's a Lawson's in the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. Next time go and check that out then compare to what you usually see at the Lawson's in Japan.
You never travel with a dead phone. I travel with my charger and back up battery pack. Purchase a battery pack for cell if you can. Try to keep some cash on you too. I love Hawaii!! Safe travels and have fun!
You’ll only see ABC stores in Waikiki. It’s definitely not, the “Hawaii store” lol. If you liked the ABC chicken musubis, you gotta try foodlands chicken musubi. Also, 711 deluxe musubi is way better than ABC.
If your still in Hawaii go to the Shirokiya food court in the Ala Moana Shopping Center . They have a bunch of different places to choose from and they are all awesome.
I know! Before covid we used to go alot cause the beer garden deals. I dont think the could recover fully after covid. I think last week i found out they’re closing.
I love ABC stores sooo much!!! When I was there in 2002 they were on every single block. Now they look a little more spaced out. I miss the macadamia nuts!! 🥰
Aloha from Ewa Beach! As a local just a heads up. Be very careful when you’re out at night in Waikiki. There’s a lot of violent crime that goes on there. I wouldn’t go out at night there even if I was with other ppl. Sad but true. Stay safe
Hey Raina 😁 go to the Cheese burger in paradise restaurant in Lahina near the golf resort area in Maui. Im quite sure they would have some kind of challenge.
I love your videos but was sad to see you eating only at ABC stores when your title says 7-11. And the prices for those musubis and bentos were ridiculous 🤯. I’ll def stick to the west side where 🤞🏼 it’s cheaper. Waikiki can keep their tourist prices 😆 Can’t wait to see the rest of your Asia tour. Safe travels 🤙🏼
Glad you met some nice people that helped you .. that's scary. Yeah nowadays you need you phone to get into everything. Next time keep a portable charger with you.

Credit to you for traveling all over. It's nice to know there's still very kind people in this world.

Got to eat the Maui chips w/ Musubi same time 😋
I'm glad your safe🙏
Aloha Raina,
Welcome back to Hawaii. Have a safe journey on your Asia tour. Have a blessed day everyday. Love & Aloha.
My mom grew up in Hawaii, when she took us to visit as kids we started calling the ABC stores All Blocks Covered. You can stand in one and see the next one from the door. It at least you could 15ish years ago.
7-11 is the local go to . ABC stores are just loaded in the tourist areas. They are also the most expensive. Love your videos!

What a lovely thing to say to her. I have never traveled alone and I'm 61. I would have been crying like a baby.

Raina I enjoying watching your 711 hauls…it’s so sad my 711 in the States!
Are you going to hit cherry blossom season in Japan ? That would be nice.
Saved by Spiderman, Spiderman Love the Hawaii broadcasts!
There are hand crank chargers for your phone. They work great in emergencies. I have a Red Cross branded one that doubles as a flashlight. If you carry a purse or something, you might want to keep one in there.
Love that you are just hanging out with us, telling a story and having some food. Hope to bump into you some day in the States 🥰
WOW EATING FOR 24 HOURS!

7-11 and ABC Stores are both common on O'ahu.

They closing too so if the never yet, might wanna hit that up before they do
Wow that sucks , that place was awesome
I know! Before covid we used to go alot cause the beer garden deals. I dont think the could recover fully after covid. I think last week i found out they’re closing.
At least I got to go there before I moved from Hawaii .
@@la-renkeaulana3523 closed in 2020 due to financial losses from covid-19
I love ABC stores sooo much!!! When I was there in 2002 they were on every single block. Now they look a little more spaced out. I miss the macadamia nuts!! 🥰
Raina, they sell those Maui onion chips in california also. They have them at smart and final and at marukai market.
This video focuses on ABC stores but I know 7-11s in Hawaii have lots of yummy local food also🤙
Aloha from Ewa Beach!
As a local just a heads up. Be very careful when you’re out at night in Waikiki. There’s a lot of violent crime that goes on there. I wouldn’t go out at night there even if I was with other ppl.
Sad but true. Stay safe
Wow I can’t imagine what u went through ❤❤❤
Hey Raina 😁 go to the Cheese burger in paradise restaurant in Lahina near the golf resort area in Maui. Im quite sure they would have some kind of challenge.
Hey Raina, I'm a huge fan of yours, and I am also a new content creator for TH-cam as well. I was wondering what editing program do you use?
Hola Raina!
How cool !
I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii.
Cant wait to see what they have in their 7 elevens 😊
I don't know if I can eat some of that stuff😮 although Arco ampm hot dogs are ok..
I love the fact that you don't have to put all kinds of sauces. Good for you!
I wish I could find a place around where I live that sells onigiri. Our convenience stores offer nothing like what you show there.
wow. Our ABC stores are liquor stores 😂😂
Glad you you are okay 🎉
Looks good, Raina. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button
So delicious food ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am really happy that you are safe Raina you are a superstar 💖 and you are also hood for jugging that 2 liter from the neck like that my friend 🤣
I love your videos but was sad to see you eating only at ABC stores when your title says 7-11. And the prices for those musubis and bentos were ridiculous 🤯. I’ll def stick to the west side where 🤞🏼 it’s cheaper. Waikiki can keep their tourist prices 😆 Can’t wait to see the rest of your Asia tour. Safe travels 🤙🏼
Glad you met some nice people that helped you .. that's scary. Yeah nowadays you need you phone to get into everything. Next time keep a portable charger with you.
