My funny thing was
forcing hubby to sit on the floor and eat pupu style!! Today, we make
our other haole friends do the same (mostly east coasters since he's
from Jersey and they are mostly from Boston). Considering how tall these
haoles are, was funny seeing them trying to get comfy. Not only that,
I'd take food off their plates by habit and share mine w/ them (unless
they are germaphobes). I consider friends family, so no worries here.
Plus I eat everything w/ chopsticks and they are NOT accessible in every
grocery store like Hawaii (which Joe has NOT perfected). I'm an Ewa
Beach native and Iolani graduate. Joe laughs at my pidgin when I meet
other locals....he has his share of east coast accent, too. Clash of the
cultures is a great thing. If opposites attract, we work great. I'm
actually the tita and he's the cruiser. Our daughter, Tasia, has the
best of both worlds. Hustle and bustle of the east coast as well as the
laid back style of Hawaii ( which I am determined to return to). My aunt
sent me this article since she's also married to a haole and I loved it.
And aloha to all of you! ~ Gina |
