[ ] Next stop was at Dole plantatation where pineapples are grown. Just when we got out of the bus, we encountered with some cool looking trees. Their trunks were naturally colored, which was really cool. Then inside, a lot of us got bracelets with our Hawaiian names. We also enjoyed the pineapple ice cream they were selling.
[ ] We stopped to eat lunch and walk around to buy some souvenirs. We all got different lunches, some of us got Thai food, hot dogs, sushi, tacos etc. Once we were done eating, we stopped at a beautiful beach on the north shore. The beach we stopped at, was used to film some scenes in the movie The Pirates of the Caribbean.
[ ] The rest of the day we spent at the Polynesian culture center. We began with seeing a very entertaining show. Two of our students were pulled up to dance. Later another student of ours volunteered and played the drums and showed his Hawaiian singing skills. It was hilarious and we laughed so hard that it made us cry. Next show we saw was Samoa culture. We learned how to make fire with woods, how to make coconut milk, and saw two men climb up the palm tree. We also got to learn how to hula dance. Each of the moves represents an emotion/feeling. Then we met at the Imax volcano to see a movie about the Hawaiian nature. It was absolutely beautiful. In between these shows, we got some free time to do whatever we wanted. Some went canoeing, some of us got tattoos and more. We ate at a buffet restaurant where we ate A LOT. We ended the day by seeing an amazing show "Ha: Breath of life". We saw different Hawaiian dances which were incredible. The most fascinating part of the show was how they played with fire. They were throwing and spinning the fire sticks around very professionally.
[ ] We are all exhaused after a long day, but we for sure had a wonderful time!
