From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Hawaii ( /həˈwaɪ.iː/ (help·info) or /həˈwaɪʔiː/ in English; Hawaiian: Mokuʻāina o Hawaiʻi) is the newest of the 50 U.S. states, and is the only state made up entirely of islands. It is located on an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. The state was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu. The most recent census estimate puts the state's population at 1,283,388. The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight "main islands" are (from the northwest to southeast) Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. The last is by far the largest, and is often called the "Big Island" or "Big Isle" to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. This archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania. In standard American English, Hawaii is generally pronounced /həˈwaɪ.iː/. In the Hawaiian language, it is generally pronounced [həˈwɐiʔi] or [həˈvɐiʔi]. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the difference between Asians in Hawaii and those on the mainland USA? Q. Is there a difference between Asians (in general) on the mainland and those in Hawaii? Such as a dress difference, attitude difference, even physical difference, etc. And while we're on the subject, would anybody like to pinpoint exactly what they believe the difference is among Asians in Asia, Hawaii, and mainland USA? Asked by Kiryuu - Thu Apr 24 04:50:56 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. This is a very interesting question...but its a hard one to answer. This is like asking what is the difference between Caucasians living in England vs the US mainland vs Hawaii. There's really no real answers to this. I, being an Asian who lived in Asia, on the US Mainland AND Hawaii, I can give you some general ideas. First of all, there is a difference in attitude and dress no matter what ethic group you are. People in Hawaii tend to dress more casually and are more laid back than most people on the mainland USA. US is a very very diverse country, people from the east coast will dress differently than the west coasts/south/north. As to the comparison with Asia...that is just WAYYY too general...I guess the only thing I can say… [cont.] Answered by lululala - Tue Apr 29 18:17:48 2008 Will Hawaii ever become a competitive state in basketball for talent? Q. Derek Low is probably the only player from Hawaii right now with a chance to play in the NBA. Basketball is good over here but because of the lack of size of most players, colleges don't look here for recruits often. However, there are players with potential and size but because of competition are questioned.

But the rule of thumb is "If you can play BALL...they'll find you" if they can scout high school players against high school competition and determine if they are gonna be studs (many failed) then im sure scouting in hawaii wouldnt be hard. some high school guys you may not have known... Desagna Diop Stephen Jackson Deshawn Stevenson Rashard Lewis Lou Williams al harrington tyson chandler charlie villnueva(wasnt selected never hired an agent) kendrick perkins al jefferson lenny cooke(wasnt selected) my thing is this hawaii is just as competitive as over here. the thing is your guys (excluding low) arent making enough noise jus a smaller minority than over here.
