One of the physically oldest Hawaiian Island. At face value you will see breath taking beaches, canyons, waterfalls. Containing an abundance of tropical flora, and the largest population of endangered Hawaiian birds left. World class resorts and surf but beware.
There IS aloha, and there IS some good people but you are gonna get taxed in flesh, material or spirit. Good luck finding a full
time job. Many locals spend their lives working multiple jobs trying to make ends me. Outsiders, you arent wanted here unless you are tourist bringing
money, and even that is hit and miss.
If on Kauai long enough, be ready to meet ignorance, intolerance, career
welfare, drugged out,
drunk personalities. Be ready for disenfranchised, pissed off locals who are itching just to
kick somebodies ass.
The price of everything is more expensive here. A basic room for rent is priced
high. Good luck trying to buy a home. If you can actually buy a home here, more often than not you arent from here. It was sold to you by an outsider who is screwing the
local population out of affordable housing for personal profit. You are just fueling the
local distaste for the outsiders.
If you are from here, and arent one of the dying population of real Hawaiians you are more than likely nothing close to it. You are a product of generations of immigrants. (Plenty from the sugar cane era) Portugese,
German, Japanese,
Chinese, Filipino completely outweight actual Hawaiian blood pound for pound.
