GM EXTRA CREDIT This aloha sign was in whole foods - in the food/deli area. I'm not quite sure why they have the word aloha just kind of floading in the deli because it doesn't really correlate to anything. This makes me think about how the word aloha is overused and that they just put it anywhere and everywhere.

GM EXTRA CREDIT- I took this photo on the bus passing by going to Ala Moana mall. This is a beautiful moral stating “greetings aloha from Waikiki” which I would assume that someone local painted because they added quite a lot of detail ( even in the letters they added all the popular places/things in general around Waikiki). I bet lots of tourists love this moral to take pictures and to post on social media.

Pearl City
This photo contains Pidgin, and was taken at Poke On Da Run in Pearl City. Not many tourists visit Pearl City, so Poke On Da Run seems to cater to the local demographic. They serve mostly local foods, and the Pidgin is used to contribute to this atmosphere. SM
