HK – Shaka is not Hawaiian. Rather its a term for hang loose used by surfers. The term has become more thoough a greeting and farwell sign here in Hawaiʻi. We dont say Shaka but the gestures is used more. Thats just what we call um. It has become our local culture to do it. In this case Hang Loose referese to the Tea to be very calming and chill. This is a product you can find at Foodland.

HK – Ka Leo is Hawaiian for “The Voice”. It is our Schools paper here at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa . Here is a newpaper box that students can grab paper from on the way to and from Campus Center. This is ment for the students here in UH Mānoa but I think only a few students here know what Ka Leo means. I think a lot of people is just aware of it rather then the definition which is “The Voice” and it stands perfectly what a newspaper is.
