Just life changing facts. Thats all.

Fact 1) Kauai has the wettest place on earth.

Fact 2) Kauai also has the 9th driest place on earth.

There.

Tried hitching to Waimea canyon today. Currently stuck in Waimea as no one will pick me up on the canyon road. It seems to be only Hawaiians [who aren't too keen on howlies [white people]] or tourist [who are scared of anyone who isn't wearing a porter's outfit] driving by, so hit up the library since the town is a dump.


Last night got back to Hanalei with a ride with some dude who rattled off the same old fox news esque scare bullshit about how i'm going to be murdered by ice heads, beaten to death by locals or raped by chickens [there are chickens everywhere on this island all of which are fairly sexually aggressive to white guys]. Doesn't do much for a great nights sleep.

Met a guy on the beach playing hackysack, he was a massive hippy but was cool so i joined in. he was dead cool yet totally bonkers, probably the most intense man ive ever met. kept telling me about all the energy flowing from kauai, mother earth, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. gave me a hackysack though so sound.

this morning went to catch the bus, my 'hi, mind if i sit here?' got me the rather curt response 'we aloha here' from this hippy wench with massively hairy armpits. she then turned away to teach her kid some hippy mumbo jumbo about how you should love people and the energy it gives to them.

Bitch.

Ended up talking to her and she was fairly nice, although insisted on getting into energy, 2012 [for those of you who don't stink, think hemp is the shit or tie-die every last item of clothing 2012 has apparently been mentioned by loads of ancient civilisations as a time when something majors going to happen. loads of people over here are obsessed with it. seems to involve a lot of energy and long meaningless words to do with collective consciousness and the west being a complete bastard [just more facts there]].

seem to have got to that stage in my trip where i begin to hate the contents of the country im in. at least this time i can avoid being too racist.

one thing that did brighten up my rather soured mood today was this cheeky little number sported by a rather rotund gentleman on the bus. we'll show the Taliban who's more militaristic ey?
