Jim Travels The World

1.Shaka is a real thing, bruh 2.The Hawaiian people have an unabashed love of crazy-long words and apostrophes. Sometimes, apostrophes at the beginning of a word. What's it doing there at the beginning? I have no idea. Hawaiian spelling bees are cutthroat affairs 3.Disproportionate number of blonde people (*Not pictured, because I didn't want to be a creeper. Just take my word for it.) 4.While LOST tours aren't really a thing anymore, we found a few filming locations (the show was filmed almost entirely on Oahu) Byodo-In Temple, Kahaluu. Where Jin and Sun were married. #LostNerdgasm 5.Fire twirling is serious business 6.There is a bit of hang-loose island time, but it's still 'Murrica, so not quite as island timey as some places. 7.You hear a lot of passive-aggressive comments about  haoles (Caucasian foreigners) and there's a subtle undercurrent of resistance against tourism and white invasion.

Continuing my hard-hitting journalism series of Michigan travel listicles, I recently travelled back to the mitten to gain new knowledge. Having fully immersed myself in Michiganity for 9 straight days, I'm prepared to announce that I have learned all there is to know about it, and I now present to you, 8 more things to know about Michigan: Lots of different meals come in casserole form Nothing but humongous trees exist between towns. In Michigan, if it's not towns, it's trees. Or, sometimes, it's lakes. Everyone tailgates - merging is high stakes and everyone is out to kill you. Excessive morning dew means people don't do much lawn watering DO NOT crush cans before recycling them You're just as likely to encounter a Packers fan as a Lions fan Doesn't matter if you know the difference between effect and affect . If you don't have any friends, buy a cottage at the lake
