<title>LDS Temple | Laie, Hawai'i, USA</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        From Wikipedia: Lāʻie Hawai'i Temple is the fifth oldest church temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints still in operation. It is also the oldest temple still operating that was built outside of the state of Utah.
Located in the town of Lāi, thirty-five miles from Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu, the site of the Lāʻie Hawai'i Temple was dedicated by LDS President Joseph F. Smith on June 1, 1915. The temple was known as the "Hawai'i Temple" until a standard naming convention for temples was adopted in the early 2000s.<br/>Tags: temple, lds, mormon, church of jesus christ of latterday saints, laie, hawaii, united states<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/112256">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>My old home (Hostelling International Honolulu)</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I spent six months living and working at Hostelling International Honolulu.  It's a great place, and I miss it.  Here's a photo comic I made to show my friends back home in Alaska what the hostel was like.

</center>
I showed this to my coworker, and he cracked up at the first panel. "The fence! It looks like you're in prison! 'Wanna see where I'm living now? In JAIL!!'"

I hadn't thought of that. I just thought it was Pretty.

Here's a couple of photos from my time there.  My friends in the TV lounge:

<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/lankythetangosmurf/Winter%202004/Hawaii/jammies.jpg?t=1165825115" /></center>
One day I looked at the memorial for the hostel's founder and thought, "Buddha's flashing his gang sign."  I could never look at the statue the same way again.

<title>The Movie Museum is a truly beautiful thing.</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        There's only 17 seats in the Movie Museum, but they're all leather recliners that go all the way back.  The Movie Museum shows second-run and art house movies, and you have to reserve a seat.

Seriously, one of my favorite places in Honolulu, or the world.  I saw Donnie Darko for the first time there, and a movie called Aventurera, which was from a period in Mexican film when they made these noir-ish flicks with big musical numbers.<br/>Tags: honolulu, hawaii, movies, movie theaters<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/864155">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        I have no idea how many concerts I went to at Coffee Talk, back in the days where Unity Crayons (the non-profit all-ages promoters on O'ahu) did shows there all the time.  This is also where I DJed between acts when Mirah and The Blow played town, and I spent lots of time there abusing the free wifi.<br/>Tags: free wifi, coffee shops, honolulu, hawaii<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/864158">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>The Pali Lookout</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The one place I regret that I didn't spend enough time at on O'ahu is the Pali Lookout.

"Pali" means "cliff" in Hawai'ian, and the Pali Lookout is a pass through the Koolah Mountains with Pali on both sides.  When Kamehameha the Great invaded from the Big Island, O'ahu's armies made their last stand in the pass, and Kamehameha's armies drove them over the cliffs.  When they built the original Pali highway here, they found the bones of hundreds of Hawai'ian soldiers.  The Lookout gives you this incredible panorama of O'ahu's Windward, east side.  You can see both the cities on the Windward side, Kaneohe and Kailua, from the pass.

When you stand in the pass, on the old Pali Highway, the wind gets funneled between the cliffs and hits you so hard it'll support you if you lean against it.  Then you walk another ten feet forward, and the wind dies, just dies, none left.

The old Pali Highway is my favorite thing about the Lookout.  When they made the new Highway, they left the old one, and over the decades it's gotten overgrown and fragmented, and strewn with fallen rocks.  To me, it looked like this incredible Yellow Brick Road of a post-apocalyptic road.  I vowed that, one day, I would film a really badass fight scene for a martial arts movie there.

<title>Dillingham Airfield</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Dillingham Airfield is mostly used for recreational flying:  Gliders and skydiving.  When I went there in 2005, we'd come for one, and ended up doing the other.

A friend of mine at the hostel was turning 21, and rather than have his friends spend money on gifts for him, he wanted us to join him in doing something dangerous, thrilling and expensive with him.

He decided on a shark cage adventure in Hale'iwa ("holly-eeva").  So three of us paid $125 and rented a ridiculous red sportscar (which I got to drive), and drove to the North Shore at 8 in the morning.

We were met by a guy at the dock, who told us it was too windy for the shark cage thing.  The wind made the water choppy, which would make the boat ride suck and the visibility bad.  But if we still wanted to do something expensive and adventurous, he told us, we could go to the Airfield and go for a glider ride.

None of us were that enthusiastic about gliders, but we had the car, and we'd paid $125 that we were going to get refunded anyway, so I drove us to the Airfield.

And along the way, we got behind a van for Skydive Hawai'i.  'Hmm,' we thought.  'Skydiving...'

At the Airfield I passed the van and turned the car around.  "You here to skydive?" the van's driver asked us?"  Actually, we're just turning around, we told him.  "Because if you <I>are</I> here to skydive, I'll make it half price.  $120.  But you need to make up your minds, because the plane takes off in 10 minutes!"

The next 10 minutes were spent initialing waivers.  In 2005, 27 people around the world would die skydiving; that works out to about one every 160,000 jumps, but it's still a huge liability.

After that, we got in the plane, which had no door, and flew up to 17,000 feet.

"It was supposed to be a nice, relaxing morning," my friend Wisconsin remarked at one point, "in a cage, surrounded by sharks!"

<title>Turtle Beach... I think</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The locals call this spot Turtle Beach, because so many sea turtles sun themselves there.  The turtles are a protected species, and it's a $10,000 fine if you touch one.

"<I>I'm</I> a protected species," said the little old German woman on the tour bus.

        My second week in Hawai'i was spent at Backpackers with some affable Aussies.  Backpackers is a hostel, with the primary accommodations being bungalows full of bunk beds.  I enjoyed it; as far as hostels go it's not going to win any awards (one of my friends got his iPod stolen out of his room; one of my other friends found an ancient used condom behind his bunk bed in the back room), but it wasn't terrible either.<br/>Tags: hostels, hawaii, north shore<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/864170">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        There are no sharks; that's just a name hippies came up with in the '60s.  But though it's a great place to snorkel in the summer, I can't advice it during the winter.  Sharks Cove is surrounded by coral walls and it looks placid, but when the waves get big enough they come over the walls, sets of 10 at a time throwing you around in only a couple feet of water over jagged coral.  I dug in with my fingers and toes and tried to hold on as I watched my friends float away around the corner.<br/>Tags: hawaii, snorkeling, warnings, almost died<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/864173">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Maybe my favorite place in all of Honolulu.</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        <FONT COLOR="777777">[April 22, 2005]</FONT> After my coworker got off work tonight, we headed up into the Manoa Valley, me on his bike, him jogging, to go to a graveyard with a banyan tree that he'd found and said was good for climbing.

It's a gorgeous night.  The moon's full, and everything's lit up.  We talked about life, and it was a good time.  It was worth it just for the bike ride.

And then we got to the cemetery.  it turned out to be a Chinese graveyard, up on this little hill in the middle of the valley, just high enough that you could see... everything.  Over all the houses on three sides, turning into the slopes of the hills to either side, and eventually turning into the big hotels of Waikiki in front.  It was gorgeous.  Under the full moon, especially so.

<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/lankythetangosmurf/Winter%202004/Hawaii/Manoa%20Chinese%20Cemetery/DSC00937.jpg?t=1165828414" /></center>
"I really like it up here," my coworker told me.  "This city is so crowded and desperate for space.  But this is a big, open area, and the only people who use it are dead."

The banyan's at the top of the hill, over a low shrine decorated with carved lions.  There are thick clumps of aerial roots hanging down from the tree, and someone's knotted one of them together, so you can climb it.  Or swing on it.  You can swing out over the shrine, over the tops of the lions, towards one of those big Chinese gateway-things whose names I don't know.  So I swung on it a lot.  My coworker and I took turns, pushing each other like we were on a swing.

When we got home, something occured to me.

"Um... I left my hoodie there."

"Shudd<i>up</i>."

"Yeah, I did.  Can I borrow your moped?"

I don't seem to be able to drive my coworker's moped without uncontrollably laughing from the shear joy of it half the time.  The last time I rode it, I was enjoying it so much that I was just sort of ignoring everything, and cut off a guy who followed me, honking and swearing, to the next streetlight, whereupon he got out of his car, clearly going to hurt me until I apologized and explained it was my first day riding it.  (This was two weeks ago.  it really shakes me up when I get in big conflicts with people, so I'm only comfortable writing about it now.)

So, I laughed joyously the whole ride up to the cemetery, which I found to be just as wonderous as when I left.  And I laughed joyously the whole ride back.

I then climbed up on the roof of the hostel, and lay on my back on the scratchy tiles, looking at the clouds and the sky and the city, listening to "Good To Be Here" by The Animators, and really being quite unbelievably overjoyed with my place in life.

I came back the next day, and found the entire place smelled sweetly of incense.

<title>An exhibition by Shaolin monks</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[

<FONT COLOR="#777777">[May 10, 2005]</FONT> My pictures from the Songshan Shaolin exhibition turned out better than I expected.  In the above photo, a monk is balanced on the points of <I>six spears</I>, and they didn't break his skin.  It was insane.

There were 18 monks in this exhibition, ranging in ages from 5 to 22 <SMALL>(yes, they're all younger than me.  It was humbling.  Like most things in my life)</SMALL>, plus their grandmaster, who did some incredibly badass feats.  In fact, they all did incredibly badass feats.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/lankythetangosmurf/Winter%202004/Hawaii/twinfingers.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" ALIGN=Left CELPADDING=2><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/lankythetangosmurf/Winter%202004/Hawaii/keikikungfu.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" ALIGN=Right HEIGHT=357>Like <B>doing handstands, using only two fingers</B>... and then <B>doing <I>one-handed handstands</I>, using only two fingers</B>.

The coolest part was that the youngest monks... were 5-year-old triplets.  The Shaolin Triplets.  They were not only badass, they were adorable too -- kind of shy when they first came out on stage, and then way cool when they started doing things.  They did headsprings.  People did lots of headspings in this show.  They also leaned over and planted their heads on the ground... and then <I>walked around them</I> spinning their bodies, keeping their heads planted on the stage.

There were lots of weapons demonstrations, and animal-style demonstrations.  There was a guy who demonstrated drunken boxing, and then drunken sword fighting, and then drunken staff fighting.  There were <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip-up">kip-ups</A> in every single demonstration.  They did lots of flips and tucks and cartwheels and stuff, all right out of my gymnastics class -- except they never landed on their feet, they always landed on their backs, which was a little odd.

The grandmaster did demonstrations where big, burly men in the audience would get a chance to try to hurt him.  He took repeated kicks to the crotch from very large men, and chain-punches to the stomach... and then the monks brought in a battering ram, and a bunch of them rammed it into his stomach a lot.  The Shaolin Triplets did a 'shell game,' where kids from the audience had to close their eyes while the three kids ran around and rearranged themselves, and then the kids had to guess which of the three was which.  And there was a really cheezy computer animated video accompanying it, and a very '80s World music soundtrack.  So in addition to being extremely badass, it was also extremely exploitative.

Afterwards, they signed autographs and posed for pictures...  and my friend Japalino was totally crushing on her 'dreamboat monk' (which was the coolest thing ever -- my friend had a crush on a monk!  A monk who could kick your ass!).  And I was thinking...

This is a bunch of <I>monks</I>, from China.  And here they are, in the West, encountering women who wear less clothing than they've ever seen, and getting treated like rockstars.

How weird must <I>that</I> be?<br/>Tags: kung fu, china, martial arts, honolulu, hawaii, blog, awesome, stories, shaolin, badass<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/865143">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>... Gilligan's McDonald's?</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        See, La'ie...  La'ie's kind of <i>weird</i>.  It's mostly Mormon, and it's where Brigham-Young University is, and they've set up this phenomenally successful Polynesian Cultural Center to make money for the university.  So you've got an odd situation where a bunch of Mormons have become the curators of a culture that died out, to make money for their church.  So La'ie has some weird influences.  The mormon population means the grocery stores don't sell liquor, and everything, even the beaches, are closed on Sundays.  But the Polynesian influence means...  Well, here's what the La'ie McDonalds looks like:

<center><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/lankythetangosmurf/Winter%202004/Hawaii/LaieMcDonalds1.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/lankythetangosmurf/Winter%202004/Hawaii/LaieMcDonalds1.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" width="600" border="0" /></a></center>
Inside it's big and weird and shaded, and looks more like a fancy restaurant than a fast food franchise.  There are lots of vitrines (plexiglass museum display boxes) inside, full of Polynesian artifacts like the instruments they'd play ancient hula music on, and a fountain in the back.  And, apparently, this McDonalds does karaoke.

I wasn't in La'ie for even an hour before I got missionaries trying to pimp their good friend God to me.  "Our friend Jesus thinks you're really cute."  (Note:  Not a literal quote.)  They're clever in La'ie; they send attractive young women after the young guys.  I found myself talking to a girl from Japan and another from Nevada for a while before I read their nametags more closely (I figured they were guides with the tour group I was near), and realized they weren't actually really friendly, outgoing people who though I looking interesting and wanted to be friends.

<small>The <a href="http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:18EegjV1ms4J:www.str.com.br/English/Scientia/memeplexes.htm+%22altruism+trick%22&hl=en&client=safari">Altruism Trick</a> makes me sad.  When people act like they're interested in me, and act like they want to be my friends... and then I find out they're doing it because they want to sell me something, whether it's an idea or a product... it makes me sad, and it makes me wary, and it discredits their whole cause to me.</small>

(Gilligan's Island was filmed on O'ahu, or rather, on Coconut Island, which is off the coast of O'ahu on the Windward Side.  Coconut Island is a biological research center, and my coworker who's a biologist got to go on a tour there.  "A <i>three hour</i> tour?" I was quick to ask him.)<br/>Tags: hawaii, honolulu, weird<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/865145">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>The UH Japanese Gardens</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The University had a really nice little Japanese garden behind the East-West Center that I liked to go and sit in when I needed quiet time, or when there was a new issue of David Mack's comic series KABUKI to read.

<title>The Byodo-In</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A replica of a 900-year-old Japanese temple in the shape of a phoenix.  The Koolau Mountains behind it are a gorgeous backdrop, especially when they're misty, and there are peacocks wandering the grounds.  The place is wonderful, and would be even more wonderful if it wasn't infested with tourists.

Here's Olga from Germany and the 18-foot-tall Buddha.

<title>The Dollar Theater</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The dollar theater in Restaurant Row (basically, a classier mall food court, if the mall was entirely composed of a food court) shows second run movies for $1 at night, and $0.50 matinees.  The movies they show have just finished their engagements at the first-run theaters around town, so unless a movie is pretty obscure, it's better to wait till it comes to the dollar theater.

I loved this place.  I spent so much money there.  And by "so much money" I mean "not much money."
