Hawaiian leis flower
I have no ideas whether it is because I have seen too much Japanese TV dramas or cartoons, I was always
looking forward for the scene that when I get off the plane, I would receive a gracious greet and given a
beautiful flower from boys and girls with sunny skins from the island. And unfortunately, this beautiful
fantasy, of course, has broken up when I reach Hawaii six months ago. However, set in the head or neck ,
the garland is one of the traditional of Hawaii.
