1-02b: Hawaii

I am going to tell you about Hawaii. I selected the websites. Because there are a lot of pictures, so it easy to see. And it is interesting for me. First, introduction. Do you know Hawaiian history? Five million years ago, the Hawaiian Islands came into existence by volcanic activity. In AD 500, Polynesian land on the Hawaiian Islands. They are first settler. Around AD 1000, a lot of Tahitians immigrated and dispersed each islands. Around AD 1100, Captain James Cook discovered the islands in 1778. He was welcomed by islander. But afterward he was killed. around 1790, King Kamehameha reigned the big islands. In 1880, the Hawaiian dynasty was beginning but 84 years later, the dynasty was end. Next I want to tell you about Hawaiian language. Many people know "aloha". I think it mean "hello". But "aloha" means many things. For example, good bye and love. "ma halo" means "thank you". Hawaiian language use such as name of sea like Waikiki beach. "Waikiki" means "quick" and "fast". How about check others beach name? You can understand the beach's name.
