U.S.A is a mosaic of cultures and great diversity of interesting places.
Sandy beaches, blue-sky waters, and
palm tree-lined shores, amazing
volcanoes, and glorious sunsets are
some of the things that probably
come to mind when you think of
Hawaii.
But a beautiful natural environment is
not all there is to enjoy in this earth-
bound paradise, as this group of
islands is also home to people with a
rich and diverse culture.
The culture and tradition of Hawaii
are actually reflections of the land's
innate beauty.
