I don't know about you, but whenever I go to, say, an ice cream store and they offer free samples, I always feel guilty (and a little judged) if I asked for multiple samples. They actually encourage you to try all of them. That's right, there are 24 FREE samples of coffee. There, you will find 3 tables with about 8 different coffee-filled thermoses. When you walk in, you're in the middle of the gift shop, but if you walk through that, you end up on a covered patio out back. This person will tell you all about the variety of samples they have on the back deck and will point you in the direction of the walking tour, coffee bar, or ice cream shop. First of all, when you walk in, there is someone there to greet you with a really friendly attitude. This was a really cool place to visit, and I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by if you're ever on Kaua'i. There are over 4 million coffee trees grown on 3,100 acres, which makes the company responsible for HALF of all coffee produced in the U.S. The Kauai Coffee Company is does all the work - from growing the beans to packaging them - right there on the premises. The Kaua'i Coffee Company is also located right off the main road in Kaua'i and is a short distance from the brewery. Fortunately for us, right now the street from the brewery was the largest coffee producer in the United States. After a few beers, though, we needed some coffee to sober up. When we went to Kaua'i last week, I wrote about how we went to the Waimea Brewing Comany and sampled their beer. So common in fact that I do it and don't even realize it and was told recently that it is quite annoying).
Yeah? - Used at the end of sentences (This is also very common. Shaka - Great! (This is also the name for the common Hawaiian greeting with the thumb and pinky finger extended) Shahkbait - Shark Bait, meaning pale, untanned people (I particularly like this one because I recently had a few visitors who ). Pau Hana - After work (usually in reference to happy hour) Mek plate - make yourself a plate of food I find that white people use it more often because even if you live here, if you're white, people still think you're a tourist. It is also a fast way to tell if someone lives in Hawaii or is just a tourist. This is a VERY common way that locals greet each other. If you see something awesome, it's common to shout out, "That's da kine, brah" - seriously. But try to listen for it if you're ever in Hawaii (hint: you won't hear it in the tourist resorts.).Īn' den - And then? (Dude, Where's My Car? Anyone?)īrah - Friend, Brother (used ALL THE TIME)ĭa Kine - Used for EVERYTHING. It's pretty easy to tell when someone is faking it, and then you just look foolish. Below is a list of the most common pidgin phrases that you may come across. You just may not have known what the hell he was saying. If you've been keeping up with Hawaii Five-0, then you've undoubtedly heard Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) use some pidgin. Today, pidgin is easily distinguishable because there is a sort of "accent" that comes along with it.
