How did I spend my summer<br />

By Bryce Lim<br />

Traveling to a place that is<br />

so different from your homeland<br />

is an exciting and informative<br />

experience. During my trip to<br />

Hawaii, I was able to witness<br />

nature’s beauty, and I was able<br />

to see sights that I usually do not see in California.<br />

Summer Time<br />

Additionally, I learned some of the Hawaiian culture and<br />

lifestyle. The first thing that stood out to me about<br />

Hawaii were the large amounts of vegetation that were<br />

present on the island.. The overall exotic feeling of the<br />

island was a big change from California. From the lush<br />

forests and vast oceans to the sprawling fields and deep<br />

canyons, I felt as though I had entered another dimension.<br />

In addition to the sights, I was able to learn some of the<br />

Hawaiian language, and I was introduced to the Hawaiian<br />

way of living. It surprised me how similar Hawaii was to<br />

the Philippines, such as the<br />

shack- like houses and small<br />

communities. Overall, my trip<br />

to Hawaii was a breath of fresh<br />

air from the monotone city life<br />

of where I live.<br />
