Today we spent all of today visiting the Polynesian Culture Center, which was apparently one of Hawaii's biggest tourist attractions on Oahu. It took about two hours to get there. We left around 10 and got there a little after 12 (all the while I had to pee really badly; I was the first one off the bus, let's say). It covered the islands of Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, Fiji, etc, with a themed area for each. Tried some Hawaiian poi for the first time, and I honestly didn't think it was that bad once you think about how it was made. It's basically mashed starch, which was so bland and flavorless and purple it was weird in an awesomely weird kind of way. There was music, a luau dinner and an amazing show called 'Ha: The Breath of Life,' which was so amazing. (No photos allowed though.)
