Definitely true about the aloha being lost in Kailua. I grew up here and Ik I can speak for many of us, it’s very disappointing and sad that somewhere we grew up doesn’t even feel like home anymore. The beaches even the parks and all the shops isn’t mellow anymore, it’s crazy and busy and there IS more rude ppl dis side cuz it’s mostly ppl that not even born and raised here so I agree with a comment about how they bringing there attitudes here and it’s not a good representation of kailua nd hawaii in general. I also think us locals here may have gotten fed up and it’s kinda hard to tell what kine ppl u dealing wit. The ppl in this town is not the same, many ppl not from here overtook all the locals in this small town. Heartbreaking 💔 but aside from that 😅 I enjoy ur videos and u did Kailua good 😁🤙

People who moved from outside of HI to Kailua are usually well off, type A, highly accomplished, well paid professional. Usually not mellow but the opposite. That's my guess.

H3 a blight on the Aina! Originally from Halekou, Kaneohe mid 40's to mid 50's then family moved to Kailua. Not the Kailua I grew up in. Went to Kailua Elem, Iolani, Kailua Inter/High, Punahou summer school cause I no study, cut an go surf lol (my mother grad Punahou) then they sent me to the Big Island where I finally wen grad from Hawai'i Prep! Loved seeing your tour of home. Parents built our Kailua home 1954 $15,000 and see on Zillo now showing $2.7 mil Awee! Mahalo for the video an a shaka for you. Aloha

As a 43 year old man that grew up in Kailua living on wailelo street my whole young life. My house is on Zillow at 600 sq ft for 2,800,000. Needless to say I used to go home every year. Now i don’t go anymore. It’s just to sad for me. Coming down the pali feeling home in my lungs always makes me tear up. But now this Hawaiian portages man I hate what it’s turned in to. I’m glad my grandma and grandpa aren’t around anymore to see what our home has turned in to.

Hi Derek! Just want to say my wife & I are fans of you & Mahe. We watch your videos every night and sometimes we do marathons during weekends. We find your videos very informative, educational & entertaining. We like how you showcase different real estates then insert some cool places to eat, swim, hike or chill on the side. It’s like a virtual field trip every time. We like how you keep it real when you talk about the real estate market even if it doesn’t favor you or your team. We learned a lot about the different cultures, food & languages of Hawaii. Thank you for sharing your videos. Don’t get too sad if they don’t throw the Shaka back, just keep on sharing Aloha. It will be an honor to get a shoutout for my wife Jonelyn, she’s a Waianae Searider. God bless your channel🙏🏼Mahalo!🤙🏽

Lady, have you been to California or big US cities? Talked about rude. I spent a month in Windward country (Kailua) to spend time with my son. The people are friendly. Cars even stopped so you can cross the street. Sweet. I have never experienced that in the mainland
@sirij8784 2 жыл бұрын
the people are friendly compared to california but because so many people come from those places to live in kailua, they bring certain attitudes to hawaii that they grew up with it. Friendly attitutes in california can be interpreted as rude in hawaii. Kailua is pretty friendly compared to other places in the united states but compared to other cities in hawaii, people seem colder/not as much as aloha.

Mililani, Kapolei, Ewa, Makakilo mostly locals. Kailua has lots of transplants from the mainland that no fault of theirs, were raised in a self centered way that’s why you see more “Lack of Aloha”. Some transplants assimilate to the Hawaii ways but some don’t. There is still that entitlement attitude sprinkled around Kailua.

My daughter and son-in-law are moving to Honolulu, they bought a home in Kamala/Diamond Head area. We were watching one of your videos and you were explaining what you call people that are older than you like uncle and auntie. My daughter is 40 something my son-in-law is 50 something and I’m 74 now like with our neighbors if it’s an older person what do I call them and what do they call me. If you could explain that a little more to me I would appreciate it thank you!

Even if you are in your 50's, if there's at least a 2 decade gap between you and your neighbor I'd stick with the Aunty/Uncle + First Name unless otherwise asked not to. You can always agree to address one another on a first name basis later on.

How bad is the traffic from Kailua 630am via H3 to H2 and to Wahiawa and then back to Kailua around 6pm?
@movingtohawaii 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Marc, you’re looking at a 40 minute commute both ways, with your return trip from Wahiawa to Kailua typically taking slightly longer by around 5-10 mins due to “pau hana” or after-work traffic. The reason your morning commute from Kailua to Wahiawa is typically faster is because you’re going east-to-west which is against the flow of heavy traffic in the morning flowing from west-to-east.

love your channel but I want to clarify something. I am born and raised in Hawaii 69yrs and many of us dont use the shaka sign. That doesnt mean we are less aloha. We show our aloha in so many other ways.I am from the windward side of Oahu where we have many transplants from the mainland and elsewhere. As Mahe said in one of their episodes, it depends how you come to the island, with what attitude. If you come to embrace the island its culture and people then aloha. So do not use the shaka sign as your compass as to if the person is friendly or not. You will know by the kindness, generosity, smiles, and culture shared whether the person is aloha or not.
@movingtohawaii Жыл бұрын
Your comment is spot on. A Shaka is not the only compass to measure aloha, rather a collection of personal traits and behaviors. Mahalo, Sandara!

@@movingtohawaii yeah I do, but I choose to not sweat the small kine stuff because we never know whats going on in other peoples lives, if they've had a pilau day, family problems, sick or just grumpy. I remember my friend shared a story about her husband getting pissed off everytime someone didnt shaka back or that he let someone go in traffic and they didnt wave thank you. He also tried to chase some of them down just to give stink eye...and he's a tiny japanese guy too! (I'm hawaiian chinese japanese) She said then are you doing it to get rewarded? That thought humbled me so now I just wave without expecting anything back cause I gave it freely. With no expectations... its more ono when you do get a shaka or a wave back.😊 A warm mahalo nui to you, Mahe and your staff for being so helpful especially to those who have moved away to find their way back home to ohana and paradise.🤗💖🌴🌺🌊
