For a small chain of islands, Hawaii sure doesn't lack for cultural diversity. Let's see who's here: mostly Hawaiians,
Caucasians, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Samoans, and Hmongs. Many families are multi-ethnic, with two and
even three cultures influencing the way of life. Happily, there's also a culture that everyone can embrace. It's called Hawaiian
Style. Here are the Top Ten signs that you're totally immersed. 10. You stop buying shoes because all you really need
is a pair of slippers. 9. You order plate lunches with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad. 8. You know at least two
recipes that include Spam. 7. Someone tells you a joke in pidgin--and you know when to laugh. 6. You give the shaka sign
without looking at your fingers to see if you're holding them right. 5. When another driver cuts in front of you on the
freeway and waves--and you wave back. 4. Getting a tattoo around your ankle seems like a pretty good idea. 3. You no
longer notice the geckos crawling around on your ceiling. 2. You spot the biggest cockroach you've ever seen--and try to
take him alive. 1. When you call someone bra', and you're not talking about a C or a D cup.
