I can’t count the number of times I’ve been asked how I like living in the states. People, I grew up in the states. Which brings me to my next point–

#3: You need a passport to visit Hawaii.

But only if you’re not a US citizen since Hawaii is the 50^th State. That means it’s as much a part of the United States as Kansas, except it’s surrounded by ocean and separated from the American continent by a few thousand miles.

We speak English, use American money, have indoor plumbing, movie theaters, and yes, Costcos. You don’t need special vaccinations, water purification tablets, voltage adaptors, or snakebite anti-venom to visit. Pack lightly. If you do forget something and really need it, don’t worry; you can buy it here. Promise.

Next: #4: Laid-back means you’re lazy.
