New subscriber. I love Hawaii. Very peaceful. If I had the opportunity to live then I would jump at it.

What is unique about the Mall? Originally it's customer base was the local residents, go there today and it's clear the only customers they are interested in are tourists and PRIMARILY the Asian tourists looking to shop at the Rodeo Drive.esq designer stores.

I was happy to see this recent post by Dwayne on RUclips. It’s been awhile. Finally. Butter voice is back.

Ooooooomy I am full just watching. I want eat for a week . Y’all enjoy!!!!!

It’s just the haoles

Thank you for sharing 😊

Hey, PhottoLukeHawaii sent me here 🤙🏼😎

I love your videos! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to try everything in the video. 🤙🏾

Aloha Dwayne....we've missed you....the food looked amazing especially the fruit bowl...have to check out the Kakaako Farmer's next time I go...can't wait for more of your great videos...Mahola❤

Thanks for saying such nice things about us and our community. !! My father is Fijian Samoan and he has black skin my mother is white and it’s all good 👍

You cracking me up with your, “it’s delicious”, you can tell cause my voice is going up high. 😂😂😂 well one of the reasons you fit in with the locals is we’re the same. 😂😂. My voice gets high when I eat some delicious (locals say “ono”) food and then I talk about it later. 😂😂😂

You’re right. People who come here with expectations and their own agenda will get attitude back at them. You must be open minded, respectful and non judge mental and the locals will treat you like family. ❤ Glad your experiences had been awesome.

I miss my home

Bro, u got any Jerk Chicken suggestions? I know of a few that make it, but your opinon on who does it good

Dwayne, imagine the 70's/80's when things were even better. Nowdays we have Sooo many people from every where, incl Law Enforce that has moved to Hawaii & that's prob who starts trouble. Even if they may "look" local, true 3rd+ gen residents usually show respect. Many times vacationers show no respect for our what is acceptable & thats usually where troube starts. Glad to have u here, u a great addition to HI & keep on enjoying😃

I visited in 91 and I loved it

I missed you taking us thru the island. ❤

So glad your back!! Still hoping to see you in April 😊

Hey Dwayne ! Next time if we get to Oahu , we need to spend the whole morning at Kaka’ako Markets.. Our mission was to have JoJa Burgers then to the Bishop Museum on the Saturday we were there. Absolutely loved the JoJa Burger and we got a sugarcane drink from Sugah Daddeh. Totally blown away how good the sugarcane drink was with a squeeze of lime and ice ! We only touched the surface of Kaka’ako Markets. You are right about the Aloha feeling about the markets , we loved it to. Cheers Rod and Gemma 🤙

Maaaan those crab bites and lemonade combo looked fire 🔥

Thank you for showing this! I'm planning a trip to hawaii in April and was looking to go to the market to shop

Thanks Dwayne I always want to try that fruit bowl when I pass by that booth, looks so good! You made everything look so good! Mahalo! 🤙😊

Thanks for sharing your experience, really enjoyed this episode! Enjoying your vibe and style, and message to everyone! Mahalo for sharing your aloha Dwayne! 🤙😊

Love this!!!!❤

My family is from Hawaii but my bro’s gf is black and from the mainland. When she visited last month she was shocked that the cops would smile and wave at her. I know racist ppl exist here, but it made me very proud of my home that she felt so comfortable and welcome here.

❤❤

Happy you’re back! Great start for your 2nd year 🎉❤

You don’t like avocado? You are certainly your mother’s child. 😅

U been gone, where have u been?

Job well done😊😊

🤙🏿👋🏿

😁 What? You are eating on camera? 😲😄 Glad you are back. ❤🎉😊

That fruit cutting WAS mesmerizing! And I love how those rolls were cut in half, haven’t seen that before. Everything looked so good!

WOOHOO!! YOU’RE BACK❤

@6:00....Yeh, am not huge fan of avocado either, D! Gotta checkout Kaka'ako...one of these days!..P.S...Good seeing you on the airwaves!...Happy/prosperous/safer 2025

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

TY I'm going next month and I found this very helpful!❤

Aloha Dwayne, mahalo nui for this informative video. I just turned 65, and finally got my senior Holocard, and was anxious to try it out. The older I get, the less I like driving my truck around, so I want to take advantage of public transportation. I spent 4 weeks in Japan last year taking advantage of their amazing public transportation. I purchased a rail pass, and travelled 3900 miles via rail, and walked 107 miles. Japan really inspired me to use more fully Honolulu's public transit system. Aloha a hui hou from Kailua.

Thanks for this awesome Video. It felt like is was there, sitting back, riding through the city!

So good to see your content! Keep pushing it out😊

Im from Hawaii, all my life. Local. Your video made me teary eyed. Thank you! Your experience is good here because we can see YOU exude good vibes. ❤

I miss living there. Im looking forward to moving back in a year.

Excellent hike video! Better than most I've watched to prepare for our trip to Hawaii. Great balance of views, helpful information, and just the right amount of narration. You have a great voice for this! I'll be checking out some of your other videos.

It’s awesome you had that awareness about taking a job and causing locals to have to leave. Maybe you can teach at a junior college or trade school and help people coming up or Coming out of jail.

Super cool that you went through all the shit in LA and still were able to come and adjust to a different vibe. Somehow you were able to keep your good heart intact. Not everyone can.

But, yeah, as far as flashing your valuables, there is definitely a ton of theft here. And the cops don’t even investigate

Aloha, Dwayne! I'd like to think that most residents are as good as you make them out to be. But it's not a perfect paradise ... there are some bad apples. As a local, I've often wondered how black transplants feel about living in Hawaii, whether they feel more comfortable living here than wherever they came from. And I've also wondered what they think of our local police officers. Thank you for sharing your experience. I, myself never met a black person until I went to college on the mainland. Never met a Jew until I went to the mainland, too. And I personally knew maybe a dozen Haoles (Caucasians who had originally lived on the mainland) up until that time. The vast majority of the people that I grew up with were Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Hawaiians, and Portuguese (Portuguese weren't considered to be Caucasian). The local population of Hilo back in the 60's very much reflected the sugar cane plantation heritage. When I was born, sugar was still the primary industry on the Big Island. Reflecting back at my childhood years, I think you would have fit right in. 😉

Agree with the majority of this. I had the same experience the 25 years I lived there. But something needs to be said of local people using the N-word. Way too many do and use it as a pejorative. And in the workplace, I got passed over many a times because they picked a local person with way less experience than me. Love Hawaii, but it’s not without its problems. Just a little perspective, I’ve been back living in the Midwest for 7 years and have literally never heard anyone using the N-word as a pejorative in my presence. Heard it wayyyy too many times to count in Hawaii.

thank you for this video... inspirational. I'd like to reach out to you via email with a few questions. As someone who has lived in a few states in America I understand where you're coming from with mainland energy. thank you, Dwayne.

Great video..Hawaii is really a mixture of different cultures...People will be treated kindly if they giveout kindness & respect...but once they start acting disrepectful, locals will snub you for sure..
