Don’t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands --- Maui, Lanai,the Big
Island-- but leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable(不可预测的)that
sometimes it rains all day --- in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth.Yes, there
are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But
if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can’t control the nature
on Kauai, and who wants to surrender (屈服) to the nature when you could be at a fine
hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?
So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys？Most of its
300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people,the hidden spots are
hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about
discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star
restaurant.What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a
rambutan tree(红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit.
Shopping in Kauai? Forget it --- unless you are interested in shell necklaces and
beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It’s about going natural
and finding the nature within you. It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along
the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.
Don’t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there’s only one road,which
can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing
into the ocean, and taro (芋头) fields. You have no choice but to look ateverything, because
the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.
If you’re not interested in color, don’t bother with Kauai, because that’s what you
get -- red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It’s like diving on
land. Many people on Kauai believe that this is Lemuria -- a lost island in the Atlantic.
Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty
and want a different quality of life -- what do they know,anyway? Forget about it--you’re not
going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.
