1 of 1 people found this helpfulAlmost 0. A large amount of plant life here are from the Polynesian and the further by the discovery by Cook. Right now to grow native Hawaiian plant life I believe you need a special permit and a few other things. Been a while I thought about growing some endangered species. The law makes it stupid hard to try and help protect the plants.

I took a "nature" tour on one visit to Oahu. The guide said, "Welcome to the 'houseplant tour'." Virtually every plant we saw was IDed as some plant imported from elsewhere; usually as an ornamental house plant. Only a few were Polynesian "canoe culture" imports. Before the Polynesians there were something like only 7 species of plant that were either blown, floated or carried inside birds to the islands.

Two plants I liked the best in Oahu:
1- Teddy's bigger burgers and garlic fries!
2- Food Court at Ala Moana!
oh yeah, we were talking about plants.....

1 of 1 people found this helpfulO.o Food court in Ala Moana.
That's like the WORST place to eat.
This was downplayed. Poor maintained vent and grease traps. Poor Sanitation.

Also they have a huge rat problem there too. Not no little mice you find in labs or the typical lab rat. Talking rats without the tail in the 1ft variety. They were there when I had a part time job when I was in college. They are still there when my kids were in college and have jobs there. Now my grandkids are about to face them too if they decide to stay here for college.

You never committed a crime or can pass a drug test? Also did you do anything that would cause you not being able to get your a security clearance? Pretty sure you can find out with a simple Google search.
If you are serious I can see what position we have available and in which stateor country so can see if we can streamline the process and to see if it is worth your while.

Is that committed and been caught or committed but can fake out a polygraph test?
Same thing for the passing a drug test? What about if you can just reliably avoid detection?
Ditto for security clearance.
And like, you know none of your friends or family are rats.
Just asking for umm....you know...communal knowledge
