Honolulu has a large Asian community Uptown is the Asian center of commerce which provided some window shopping entertainment, but it's not like San Francisco's Chinatown. Nearby are the Hawaiian royal palace and other important buildings of historical interest. |
|  | Nightlife in Honolulu is quite pleasant The city is quite safe right down along Waikiki Beach throughout the night. The city shows free movies on a huge screen on the beach. It's a very relaxed atmosphere for a urban paradise. |
| | The Only Urban Life in the Hawaiian Islands In recent years, a lot of Japanese and American money has built up Waikiki Beach into a highly gentrified place. There are plenty of restaurants, music, and other entertainment along the what's arguably the world's most famous beach. This isn't the only part of Honolulu worth visiting, but it may be the best. |

Enjoyed your page with its retro theme. It’s been over 20 years since I visited Honolulu. Perhaps my photos might seem a bit retro to someone :) Nice description of Waikiki Beach! ~ Steve | agapotravel Tue Jun 24, 2008 05:51 UTC
Hi Alan! I enjoyed your Honolulu pictures and tips. The sunset shots at Waikiki are incredible. I especially liked reading about your grandparents' visit to Hawaii. What special photos they are! :-) | Dulebg Sat Mar 3, 2007 15:27 UTC

I am a musician and am quite interested in this article. I like the explaination of the slack guitar. I would like to hear one played with the whole ensemble. I bet it sounds beautiful with the lyrics. -M.Marroquin |
