Thinking of moving to the States

That's a good idea. Check out the place at its worse (IMO) when the pollution is at its peak, it's at its hottest, and there are people everywhere. If you don't mind those, then you will be fine for the rest of the year.

Anyway whatever happens, best wishes to you on your future plans.

Nah you don't have to worry about that, Frankychan. Like Ted said, there's a great diverse of people in California including the way they dress and think. You won't have any problem finding people with common interests.

Yah, I guess I'm just a little afraid to jump out of the "box" so to speak. I'm just ready to get out of here. Tired with the BS (took me 24 years) and this ****e just isn't worth it.

Wait, do you live in GB or Hawaii?

Word. Thanks, I'll keep everyone updated. But I kinda want to hear from the people in other states. (Although it looks like I'm probably going to go to California ).

HI born and raised. The GB flag is the closest flag Poly has to the HI-state flag....long state story...

I can understand re: jumping the box - I went thru the same thing. Trust me the act of jumping itself is worth it regardless where you jump to. It's liberating in a way and allow you to explore yourself in a new way.

But worth telling. IIRC, some Brits pulled off a coup, but their government turned around and gave the islands back to King Kamehameha III, who uttered the words that have since become the state's motto. They translate into "The strength of a nation lies in the righteousness of its people."

Kalka-who-a?? Franky, can you clear this up?

Brief Hawaii History

This is pretty much right. We're taught since elementary school this basic stuff. The link is pretty much spot on.

HI was basically friendly towards the UK, and was even thinking about joining it (although independently ruled) until the US got involved.

Could go into more detail, but I don't want to deviate from the main reason why this thread was made...to find out more about job opportunities on the mainland.

"Kalakaua". One of the latter Kings of HI.
