[proper english]

pros: its paradise.. i feel so at-home when im there.. i cant explain it.. its just 

cons: youre going to be living on a small island.. some get the feeling of "being trapped" during extended stays at such places.

How expensive is it?! Ive always wondered

 

[Shanegerous]

[de la money]

srsly tho.. HI changed me for the better.. love the simple life out there.
as far as COL goes.. 1200 for a 2br is still steep to a lot of ppl. 

although, i would take that in a heartbeat

A good place for a vacation. Probably not for a permanent vacation tho.

Its not only housing though. Food and other assorted daily use items are much more expensive than their mainland counterparts

imagine a 23 year old charlize theron

she was from hawaii, we clicked cause i told i her i visited all the islands and been there twice


i told her id get tired of it after a while, i dropped out and lost my phone the same week
and deactivated my facebook

This post went downhill pretty quick bro. I am lightweight depressed from reading this

it seems like most HI cities cater to tourism.. correct me if im wrong.
