ChinaTown

There is a place in Honolulu called "Chinatown" near the Aloha Tower Marketplace...and it is amazing and colorful. We went this afternoon to get the full experience. There is a small market called Maunakea Marketplace in Chinatown, and if you go upstairs there's this neat little museum, the Hawaiian Chinese Multicultural Museum & Archives, it's mainly just a glorified picture gallery; but I thought it was interesting. We learned alot from James G.Y. Ho, the founder and narrator of the little museum.

Here are a few pics of some of the street fare and architecture that you will find in Chinatown:
