We were introduced all things about Hawaií. The previous kingdom before it was "conquered" by US and the appreciation of this generation now to their past. It was amazing how Hawaiían now are in big effort to search and to protect their past traditional wisdom and at the same time they try to comprehend them into the modern life now.
Visiting State Capitol was impressing not only because of the good architect of the building but also the essense of the State Capitol itself where all the policy ruling the Hawaiian aspect of life created there. The impression I had was that the Governor Linda Lingle was kind of a good leader concerning for the Hawaiian life in the sense that well... she tries to eliminate any possibility of corruption. This was amazing to me in comparison with Indonesian goverment style.
Having lunch in Iolani Palace Grounds and visited Kawaiaha'o church and Bishop Museum. Bishop Museum maintained the artifacts of Hawaiian life. Hawaiian here are not only the native Hawaiian itself but also the other ethnics (tribes) such as Germany, Philipino, Japanese, Koreanese who have been minggled into the Hawaiian society. That was cool
