Welcome to Honolulu Chinatown:
Oldest in the West
Oldest in the West
Ko`olau Mountains
behind Honolulu Town
remind me of an
Asian brush drawing.
Nice day for a parade
Ten Ten, or Double Ten Day
is the National Holiday
of the Republic of China
( Taiwan )
When are children ever still?
Sun Yat-sen
was born on 12 November 1866
to a Cantonese Hakka family.
to a Cantonese Hakka family.
Evidence suggests
that he was born at Ewa
that he was born at Ewa
in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Some claim that he came to
Honolulu
at age 13.
When they are lost in thought. . . .
Like any other person
Everything OK in there?
Here comes the parade!
We do know
that Dr. Sun lived here
among us,
attending Iolani School,
and Punahou
as our President
Obama did.
Some say
that the cosmopolitan court and
democratic politics
of Hawaii's King Kalakaua
inspired young Sun's
earliest political
aspirations.
In 1883 the King
awarded 2nd prize
in English grammar
to the young student
Sun!
Hawaii
has had a thriving
Chinese community
from Kalakaua's times.
Hawaii
would not BE the
Hawaii we know and love
without the Chinese
people and influences.

What revolution
might THESE Honolulu
children lead,
to improve our world
when they grow up?
So pretty-
Is it REAL?
MUST TOUCH!

A world revealed in images!
Beautiful post & colorful photos.Thanks a lot.
Cloudia, what an amazing world of color and enjoyment (felt almost like being there) thanks for sharing this. I have to admit one of my most favorite expressions on a child is when they are deep in thought. It's priceless, you can almost feel the energy waves ...May you keep on catching all the magic in the world-and bring here! Karen

Lovely series of photos, Cloudia. Does remind me of the Hawaii I know from 40 years ago when I lived there. (Your 'I'm IN' did make me smile. Thank you.)
Cool 'double day'. My favorite number is 22. Know anything about double twos?
Wonderful where alike is possible, and happening.
Really impressed, as sadly the Chinese community lives a kind of hidden life over here.
Please have you all a good Thursday.
