讲述夏威夷生活1

　　Todd: So, Mitchell, you are Hawaiian, right, and Hawaii is part of the United States but, what would you say, that most Hawaiians are similar to people in the mainland or quite different to people in the mainland?

　　Mitchell: Ah, thats a tough question. Theyre the same because they speak English but they look different. Theyre more of a, more darker complexion. They speak in a more pidgeon, we call it pidgeon English. Its broken English, so its not, if I go to, for example, if my friends, well go to the mainland, lot of them dont really understand them, like, Can you repeat what you said, please?

　　Todd: Right

　　Mitchell: But I guess anywhere you go everyones different, so?

　　Todd: How about, can you say theres a difference in culture in how people are, like in personality, people on Hawaii and people in the mainland?

　　Mitchell: I tend to think that people from the mainland talk more.

　　Todd: Right.

　　Mitchell: Like, yeah theyll just talk about anything, and Hawaiian culture they dont talk as much. they talk when you have to talk real talk, in general, but.

　　Todd: Have you ever actually considered moving to the mainland, or would you prefer to live in Hawaii forever.

　　Mitchell: Well, yeah, Ive considered it many times. Actually, my middle brother right now is working in New York City. (Oh, wow) and my oldest brother was working in Boston, (uh-huh) but now hes back in Hawaii working, and my middle brother is still in New York working. Yeah, I would like to live in the mainland, but Id like to pick a place with nice weather, you know, a warm culture.

　　Todd: Right, right. You cant beat that warm weather in Hawaii. Thats for sure. How about the foods? Whats some food thats really good in Hawaii?

　　Mitchell: Oh, man, dont get me started on food! Since Hawaii has mixed culture, we call it local food, like its called a plate lunch. Like for example, youll pay five bu ucks, and youll get whatever you want, you just choose, for example, steak, rice, salad, for all five bucks. The food is I think, is way better than mainland because like, its, the food is mixed, so like, you can get anything you want. For example, if you go to a food court in Hawaii, we have every section. Chinese, Korean, Hawaiian, Philliphino, so you get to choose whatever you want, you know, Mexican, and I think the portions are big too.

　　Todd: Oh, wow, sounds good man. I havent had lunch yet. Youre making me hungry.

　　Mitchell: Im hungry myself.

　　Todd: Thanks Mitchell.
