Top Ten Things NOT To Do While In Hawaii

1. Referring to the continental USA as "the states" -- Hawaii was admitted into the union in 1959 as the 50th State and we're proud of it!

2. Adding sugar to poi - Poi should be eaten plain

3. Calling local men "mokes" - It's offensive to most males in Hawaii

4. Asking which way is north (or south east and west for that matter). Directions are approached in a different way in Hawaii. Mauka is used when referring to a direction that will take you toward the mountains, and makai means toward the water.

5. Yelling the word "what" to anyone local - People in Hawaii have made this a fighting word!

6. Waiting for the red light to turn green to make a right hand turn - Feel free to turn right at anytime except when posted.

7. Honking your horn for ANY reason - Nothing will turn a local driver more hostile quicker!

8. Calling local girls "Tita" - It is offensive to most females

9. Trying to get a suntan all in one day - It hurts and looks unattractive

10. Sun bathing nude on public beaches - It's not only illegal, but it is disrepectful within Hawaiian culture.
