You Will Giggle A Little Every Time You See The Ocean Or Majestic Mountains<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-1.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Bruce Tuten<\/div>\n<p>And then you will say to yourself &#8220;I live here!&#8221;  Whether you&#8217;re driving by the ocean on the north shore (famous for big waves in the winter) or past Kalama Beach (where the President of the United States stays during Christmas), you can&#8217;t help but smile and feel grateful to live in paradise.<\/p>\n<h2>2. You Must Be A University of Hawaii Fan, Or Else!<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-2.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Hawaii Warriors via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Since we don\u2019t have a professional sports team, we give our college sports teams extra love. Hardcore fans will tailgate college games all day in the parking lot of the famous Aloha Stadium (where the Pro Bowl is held).<\/p>\n<h2>3.  Welcome To Jurassic Park<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-3.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Kuoala Ranch Weddings via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Parts of Jurassic Park were filmed on Oahu. You can find the majestic landscapes seen in the movie on the windward side of the island and at Kualoa Ranch, which offers a Jurassic Park tour and beautiful wedding locations. Just cross your fingers that no T-rex will show up before you say \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>4. We Eat Snow For Fun While People On The East Coast Have To Shovel It<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-4.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Island X Hawaii via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>In Honolulu, even tough guys love shave ice. And no, that isn\u2019t a spelling error; it\u2019s called \u201cshave ice,\u201d not \u201cshaved ice.\u201d<br \/>\nIsland X Hawaii has some awesome unique and natural syrup flavors they make daily: fresh purees of mango, papaya, watermelon, coffee, dark chocolate, taro and more.<\/p>\n<h2>5.  Driving To Another Town Feels Like Driving To Another State<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-5.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user imgdive<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s too far! You get used to extremely localized living and what used to seem like a really short drive on the mainland now feels like an eternity in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h2>6.  We\u2019re the Rainbow State for a Reason <\/h2>\n<p>I just saw a rainbow today, and yesterday, and the day before that. In fact, I\u2019ve never seen so many \u201cdouble rainbows all the way\u201d in my life. Hope you\u2019re not colorblind, or you\u2019ll be seriously missing out.<\/p>\n<h2>7.  Honolulu Has The Most Epic And Rare Surf Competition On The Planet<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-7.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user karendesuyo<\/div>\n<p>Named in honor of the late lifeguard and surfer Eddie Aikau, the Eddie only happens when the waves hit 30+ feet. Surfers are on 24-hour call notice around the world, ready for when the weather forecast predicts Eddie-worthy waves, so they can all hop on a plane to brave waves as high as 50+ feet.<br \/>\nGetting to watch this tournament is true stroke of luck: it\u2019s only been held eight times since its inception in 1985. I\u2019m definitely playing hookey from work when the Eddie comes to town.<\/p>\n<h2>8.  More Happy People = Less Jerk Faces <\/h2>\n<p>According to the most recent Gallup poll, Hawaii Ranks #1 in the United States for well being. Overall people are really casual, laid back and friendly&#8211;I often get called \u201csistah\u201d or \u201csis\u201d by strangers or new friends. You don\u2019t have to try and impress anyone here. Just be yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>9.  Ladies, Ladies, Ladies! The Firemen Will Teach You How To Surf.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-9.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Hawaiian Fire Inc. via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>You didn\u2019t read that wrong. The firemen and women at Hawaiian Fire are life-saving professionals in and out of the water and will have you hanging ten in no time.<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019m going to throw all subtlety out the window here and just say it: the firefighters are usually super hot.<\/p>\n<h2>10.  For The Men: Teeny Weeny Bikinis<\/h2>\n<p>Bikinis are an island staple. Need I say more?<\/p>\n<h2>11.  Calling All Entrepreneurs!<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-11.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Facebook user Maya Rogers-Kiyomura<\/div>\n<p>A startup scene is beginning to emerge in Honolulu, giving entrepreneurs and inventors an awesome excuse to BYOC (Bring Your Own Career). Blue Startups is the only venture capital accelerator on the island and Honolulu Tech provides a monthly pitch deck event.<\/p>\n<h2>12.  How Could Surfing Get Even More Zen? Answer: The Stand Up Paddle Board. <\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-12.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Rainbow Watersports Adventures &#8211; Stand Up Paddle Lessons via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing funnier than watching someone who has never had a proper lesson try to paddle board for the first time. Why? Because they will inevitably end up cursing and turning in circles.<br \/>\nPaddle boarding is fun and totally doable when you\u2019re taught the right way. Rainbow Watersports Adventures in Haleiwa will hook you up and they are super nice.<\/p>\n<h2>13.  It\u2019s Not 6 Degrees Of Separation On This Island. Try 2 Degrees!<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-13.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikipedia user danni-walker<\/div>\n<p>Even though the population is almost at 1 million, you\u2019ll still feel like you\u2019re living in a small town. If you thought it was a small world already, prepare for your world to get a whole lot tinier.<\/p>\n<h2>14.  If You Didn\u2019t Like Fish Before, You Will Now<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-14.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: freshcatch808.com <\/div>\n<p>My husband thought he hated fish until he moved here. Seriously, if you don\u2019t like fish, you\u2019ve probably never eaten the good kind (aka caught fresh this morning). I dare you to try it and not like it.<br \/>\nThere are so many places to get fabulously fresh fish here, but one place you\u2019ll want to check out is Fresh Catch. Guy Fieri promoted it, so you know it\u2019s gonna be good!<\/p>\n<h2>15.  Prepare To Eat Rice At Almost Every Meal<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-15.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Big City Diner via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Seriously. I know I love rice, but I hope you do too because we even eat rice at breakfast here. Try Big City Diner\u2019s Bacon Jalapeno Fried Rice Monday Special.<br \/>\nYou will also find yourself calling soy sauce \u201cshoyu\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>16.  Thought You Would Escape Traffic? Well\u2026<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-16.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Stacey Konstantin<\/div>\n<p>Honolulu has some of the worst traffic in the nation. BUT, on the plus side, you\u2019re usually never stuck in traffic more than 45 minutes anyways. Think about. How far can you really go on an island?<\/p>\n<h2>17.  Dive With Sharks And Live To Tell The Tale<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-17.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: North Shore Shark Adventures via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Go to North Shore Shark Adventures if you want a good thrill.  If you\u2019re really lucky, you\u2019ll get to see a Great White Shark. I took a tour with my mom and even she had fun.<\/p>\n<h2>18.  \u201cOhana Means Family. Family Means Nobody Gets Left Behind&#8230;Or Forgotten.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-18.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: animateheroes.com<\/div>\n<p>\u201cLilo and Stitch\u201d got it right. Family is a huge part of the culture in Hawaii&#8211;I\u2019ve never been invited to so many Christmas parties in my life.<\/p>\n<h2>19.  I\u2019ve Never Seen So Many Fit 80-Year-Olds In My Life<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-19.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Yoshimasa Niwa<\/div>\n<p>Since the weather is awesome year-round, most people are active, including our senior citizens. Every day I see a buff old person that looks like they could outrun me. Hawaii makes getting older actually look appealing.<\/p>\n<h2>20.  You Better Learn To Love Seafood, Or You\u2019ll Be Missing Out Big Time!<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-20.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Nico\u2019s Pier 38 via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>There are so many crazy good places that serve seafood on the island I can\u2019t even begin to mention them all. Go to Niko\u2019s Pier 38 for starters and try the Furikake Pan Seared Ahi with ginger garlic cilantro dip.<\/p>\n<h2>21.  Say Alooooooooooooha<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-21.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user daveynin<\/div>\n<p>What is this beautiful thing called the Aloha Spirit? It\u2019s openness and love. It\u2019s a greeting with a kiss on the cheek, always. It\u2019s calling everyone older than you aunty and uncle as a sign of respect and they accept you into their ohana. It\u2019s because of this that I call this place home.<\/p>\n<h2>22.  Remember What It Felt Like To Jump Into The Perfect Temperature Pool In The Summer? <\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-22.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia user Cristo Vlahos<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s how our oceans feel year round. Come on over and dip your toe in&#8230;and then the whole rest of you. You\u2019ll never want to leave.<\/p>\n<h2>23.  Honolulu Is The #3 Happiest City To Work In<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019d think that people would be clawing at their desks to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, but according to Forbes, a high percentage of people in Hawaii feel happy and content at work.<\/p>\n<h2>24. You Officially Live Here When 60 Degrees Feels Like A Day In The Arctic<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-24.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Pixabay user Public Domain Pictures<\/div>\n<p>When you first move here you\u2019ll want to get rid of all your pants, sweats and long sleeves. Just wait until your second winter here and you\u2019ll be grateful you saved that super puffy coat.<\/p>\n<h2>25.  Flip Flops Are Now Called Slippers<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-25.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user kimubert<\/div>\n<p>And you will wear slippers about 360 days out of the year. Time to get a mani pedi.<\/p>\n<h2>26.  Unless You\u2019re Donald Trump, Prepare To Downsize<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-26.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Gage Skidmore<\/div>\n<p>Space here comes at a hefty price on most parts of the island. Have a few garage sales so you can fit into your smaller home-sweet-home without feeling claustrophobic.<\/p>\n<h2>27.  Snorkeling With Sea Turtles Never Gets Old<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-27.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Aqua Zone Scuba Diving and Snorkeling via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s an amazing thing to have a beautiful wild sea turtle inches from your face, staring right into your eyes. They are so chill.<br \/>\nAqua Zone Scuba Diving and Snorkeling offers a Sea Turtle Snorkeling Tour, so get on that.<\/p>\n<h2>28.  You Have To Be Swimsuit Ready All Year Long<\/h2>\n<p>Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n<h2>29.  We Have A Stairway To Heaven<\/h2>\n<p>Well, not literally. This steep 2-mile staircase is closed off to the public, but some hikers manage to sneak through security to embark on this legendary and scary hike for the sweet view of the ocean and the tiny island where \u201cGilligan\u2019s Island\u201d was filmed.<\/p>\n<h2>30.  Thanksgiving Is A Bajillion Times Better With An Imu Cooked Turkey<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/04\/moveto-honolulu\/moveto-honolulu-30.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Honolulu\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user KAZ2.0<\/div>\n<p>Forget fried turkey.
