🩵 今朝のハワイは晴れているものの少し霞がかかっています｜海から山まで360度 🩵

🩵 This Morning in Hawaii: Clear but a Little Hazy | 360 Degrees from Ocean to Mountain 🩵

🦆 Enjoy a healing morning with the sound of birds

I want to say this morning is clear, but...
It's a little hazy due to the volcano's influence💦

Pele on the Big Island seems energetic again this year.
I wish she'd take a break😅

🌋 Volcanic Influence and Hawaii's Air Quality

There are no people with hay fever in Hawaii.
Even if someone with hay fever comes from Japan, they don't experience symptoms during their stay!
Everyone says it's comfortable.

But since last year, there have been days with bad air due to the volcano...
Throat irritation, headaches, watery eyes😢

When I was talking about that,
someone said, "Do you fart a lot?"🤣
That's not it! Don't blame the volcano🤣

🌊 Do you know Makai and Mauka?

I came to the beach after a long time.
Please enjoy a 360-degree view from the ocean to the mountains✨

In Hawaii,
Makai (towards the sea)
Mauka (towards the mountains)
are often used in everyday conversation.

The food court on the 1st floor of Ala Moana is called
"Makai Food Court."

🌺 Various Hawaiian Words

Aloha and Mahalo are already common.
In fact, you might not hear "Hello" and "Thank you" as much?

Toilets have
Kane (male)
Wahine (female)
written on them.

And a phrase you often hear after work is
"Today is Pau (finished)!"
= It's over, done!

When I first heard it,
Pau? Pahu? A sweet?
I completely misunderstood, thinking, "This person wants sweets."🤣

Now, please be soothed by the sound of birdsong🦆✨
