Hi guys, welcome back to another reading! Today we are going to be talking about KANEOHE, O’AHU, HAWAII, USA. I know the name is kind of long, but there are many interesting facts that we are going to learn in today’s reading. Tonight we have learned that… People don't realize that there's a Hawaiian language. Some kids go to school in Hawaii and learn the language all day long, so they know how to communicate with people in their day to day life. They have to make sure that they are connected with land because a lot of their cultural events connect with the land. One of the challenges they have to experience is that it's very expensive to live there, like bread and peanut butter are highly expensive. They celebrate thanksgiving differently. They cook imu. They dig a pit and cook it in an oven. That's how they celebrate their Thanksgiving. May is better, because it has better climate weather. September can be the hottest month they have to experience. Their most common word is “aloha,” which means hello. A good common food in Hawaii is to eat tuna by cutting it into small pieces, then marinating it. They like to eat a hamburger patty and cover it with egg. They love to eat shaved ice and put vanilla on the bottom. Beaches are definitely a good place to visit in Hawaii, especially for your first time. The most commonly visited mountain in Hawaii is Ko’olau. It has beautiful standouts on the mountain. You get paid $50,000 as a teacher for your first salary. There are actually black crabs that have been spotted on the beach. The prettiest native flower she likes is a flower called Ilima, a tiny yellow flower. The flower is used to make lei. It's made using between 500-1,000 small Ilima flowers. The climate in Hawaii is consistently a warm, tropical climate, with mild temperatures year- around . You're not allowed to touch sea turtles. It's illegal to approach dolphins. It's also illegal to dig up native plants. It's also very illegal to touch sea lions. They randomly feel earthquakes. The last tropical storm that caused some damage was about 9 years ago. They grow bananas that are call apple bananas and ice cream bananas. In Hawaii, the red worm cucumber refers to a conspicuous sea cucumber, known as the Opheodesoma Spectabilis, a worm like sea creature that is found in the Kaneohe Bay, and Pearl Harbor. They often can be sprawled on sand or seaweed in shallow water. They have some of the original food markets, like Chick-fil-A, that was recently built, Mcdonalds, and Burger King (sadly not Chipotle). Surprisingly, there is a Dairy Queen in Hawaii located in Honolulu.
