Shopping

I prefer Ward to Ala Moana if I want a more relaxing day browsing at eclectic shops (more local-type shops)... the different buildings are spread out but it's good exercise...

Parks & Nature

Honestly... I hate this place bc it is crawling with bugs, but I accept that it is a necessary part of a botanical garden, and just stay away...
