Beach in Java - 1975 |
Our high school in Jarkarta |
We love living in Hawaii because it has the benefits a tropical climate affords without the hazards we faced in Java. Some newcomers to Hawaii, who are not use to living in the tropics, find it challenging to deal with the bugs, rodents, and molds that can overtake the home. Spiders, beetles, slugs, creepy crawling things, loud frogs, and other critters thrive in Hawaii’s great weather just like we do. However, Hawaii has no venomous snakes, frogs or caterpillars. Only one type of centipede is poisonous and though B52 cockroaches are scary when they fly at you, they are not dangerous. Compared to our experiences of the tropical dangers in Java, Hawaii’s tropical challenges seem minor to us and having the rights and benefits of being a citizen in a US State is no small thing in our view.

I really appreciate all your effort on this blog. Very informative. My husband is retiring from the military and may have a job in Hilo. We are learning a lot about living on the Big Island. It will be much cooler there from Guam, but still warm all year round. Keep up the posts.
