Hawaii And The Pacific Islands (Ch 17)

 

Let's begin with a snapshot of Hawaii, leaving us with the desire to be in that particular state.
San Antonio might literally be on the other side of the world from Hawaii.  The process by which Hawaii was formed is very different from that of San Antonio.  The culture of Hawaii will be different from that San Antonio.

Hawaii's influence will be from pacific Islanders but that of San Antonio is from Latin America, specially Mexico. 

The cuisine, as discussed earlier, will differ from location to location.  San Antonio's cuisine will be associated with that of Mexico, tacos and burritos will be in abundance.  Just as in popular culture, many will define hawaii's cuisine with pineapples, Spam, and peanut butter reeses' candies.  Thats just a fraction of its cuisine.  Spam is a staple of Hawaiian restaurants, but it's not indigionous to the islands. 

Given choices, most will pick Hawaii over San Antonio, given that Hawaii is known worldwide, unlike San Antonio.
