Hello. My name is Neko-chan, and I'll be your tour guide.

Yes. They're finally uploaded.

...and that's because I have a grand total of ONE MEGABYTE left of space on my computer and have to start deleting stuff. ^^;;

Anyway, pictures! With commentary. ...kinda. XD




So here we are. With the first picture. Of the tidepools. This was taken a couple of weeks ago (all of the pictures are a couple weeks old~ XD), and... this field trip SUCKED. We had to climb down cliffs in order to get to this area. I got heat stroke. Not fun. But... pretty pictures. XD







See the guy in the 70's throwback shirt? Yeah, his name is Austin. That's Baka's clone. >D

















And here we are. Dr. De Carlo is giving us a lecture on the volcanic rock. I just passed out and sat down, guzzling down as much water as possible. x_X;;

















We had to climb UP this. It doesn't look very bad, but you have to realize that the bit of land juts out a little bit. After the people in the picture, it becomes nearly vertical. Sooooo not fun. ._.





I love how blue the water is. I gasped when I first saw this. *_*





I love this picture. So much.



The view out of my window! :O That's a Christian church, btw. Not a temple. ^^;;



The other side! :OOO That~ is the bus stop. XD



Now we're getting closer to Chinatown. We're on the farthest outskirts right now. That's a Japanese temple. I think~ that it's a Buddhist Shinto temple, but Tracy wasn't too sure and I didn't want to disturb anyone inside to ask. ^^;;



Closer picture of it.



A bell!







Iolani Palace.



Name plate in front of one of the last kings of Hawai'i's tomb.











One of the oldest churches in Hawai'i. I couldn't get any closer because a wedding was going on and I didn't want to disturb them. ^^;;









City hall.



Yes, I like taking pictures of fountains, okay? XD



It's Tracy! :O She didn't want the picture taken because she said that she never looks good in pictures. I took it, anyway. >D



One of the monuments to the soldiers of WWII. I haven't had the chance to go to Pearl Harbor yet, though. It's rather far, and I'll have to go by bus.



The soldiers' names. I couldn't get all of the monument--it was so big.



King Kamehameha statue.



Closer view.



Post office and court house. I LOVE the stained glass windows, which you can see...



...here! :-D



One of the outer buildings in the back area of Iolani Palace.



Capitol building off of Punchbowl.



Back view of Iolani Palace.



Now we have St. Andrew's Cathedral, which is... one of the oldest churches. I don't know if it's older than the previous church, though. o.o;;









GAH. I'm such a sucker for arched crosswalks. *_*



Interior. There was ANOTHER wedding going on, but Tracy and I had managed to come before the ceremony started. *v-sign* The ceiling is so high up, though. I tried to take a picture, but it just came out even blurrier. But... OMG. So big. o.o;;



*melts* So lovely.







View of (some of) the valley area around the house.



Judy!



More Judy~! XD



And this is the other Tracie. She's still attending high school, but I've managed to meet her a couple of times. She goes to swimming, too. She's really nice. =^^=



HOLY CRAP! It's Tracy. XDXDXD I nearly shrieked when she came into anime club looking like this. ._. I said that she looks like a weird mix of the Crazy 8's from Kill Bill gone Malice Mizer'd. XD



Judy: Whaaaa...?





Tracie and Tracy. XD



First attempt at creepy picture. :O All taken on the way to the bus stop at UH.





Yeah. I'm a freak--but I like this picture. ^^;;











Waikiki area now! This picture was taken for Wifey. XDXDXD



Waikiki beach.



See the mountain rising in the distance? That's Diamondhead. ^^



Plumeria flower. These are EVERYWHERE and they smell sooooo good. I love them. I also have a tendency to put my hair up, then tuck a flower into my hair. ^^;;



UH is in a valley. It's ALL uphill. x_x;;



Korean Studies building. I love it--I want to take a class or two in it. ^^;;





International Marketplace. This has the BEST shaved ice and it also has the best deals on stuff. You have to make sure that what they're selling is legit, though. >>;;



Stairway up to language building. This is where our anime club is at. I like it because there's these little stone tables and chairs. I like eating there before meetings start.



ABC Store. These suckers are EVERYWHERE. I once saw like... five or six on the same block. XD Ala Moana mall has two or three, I think~



Waikiki again. Some of the restaurants and hotels.



Palm Cafe. And why is it called that, you might ask...?



...because of the palm trees. XD [/dork]



*HISS* CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMISTRY.



See this? Originally, I thought that it was either supposed to be an 'A' or even a deformed 'M.' I was talking with Tracy a while ago, and she said that it's a crab. o.O;; She took a tour of the campus when they were offering it, and... it's a crab. Obviously, this is the art building. And it SO totally doesn't look like a crab, kthanx.



I love how the walkways here at UH are covered with trees. Trees are EVERYWHERE. Everything is just so green. *_*



I like trying to get people to say the street names here. >D



A sausage tree. I kid you not. XD



Student services building.



One of the main walkways that I use. You can somewhat see the valley's mountains in the background. More than that, though, you can see how green everything is.



I have no clue what this is. But it's in front of the Campus Center. XD



Whatever-The-Hell-It-Is and the Campus Center. Our Campus Center is an open-air building. We have no doors whatsoever~ =^^=



More of Waikiki.



Back at UH.



Sinclair Library. I ♥ it.



I can't remember the name of this tree, but it's REALLY cool. See the branches that are coming down? Those are actually roots. And they go into the ground. And... they're really, really cool. o.o;;



Sunset in Waikiki.



Ala Wai Canal. You can also see the valleys and city in the background, too. 'Kaasan took this for me while they were still here.



More of Waikiki beach. OMG. The water is soooooo warm. ♥



Entrance to the Japanese tea garden at UH. I wasn't... really supposed to take pictures. ^^;;



Diamondhead again.



Beach!



Surfing competition. d00d. Cali kicked butt. >D



More beeeeeeeaaaaaaaach. ♥



Fountain fetish pops up again!



More of me indulging in my fetish. XD



...don't be surprised anymore. XDXDXD



Again, my sadistic side shows through. >D



Wyland's official gallery. OMG. Loooooooooooooove Wyland. So much. *clings to him* (He's also a Hawai'ian artist, y0. ^_~)



*GASP* It's raining! ...almost every single day. -_-;;



Uppppphiiiiiiill. x_x;;



More Korean Studies building. Love it. *_*







Japanese tea garden! :-D







Tree was planted by emperor of Japan and his wife.



And this is the tree. XD















River near the dorms.

Aaaaand... that is all. For now, anyway. XD
