Tahiti Nui

[Bellachefa]

Ahh the Nui has always been a big part of our Kauai northshore adventures. I'm hearing dark things from the grape vine. Can it be true? Have they hired new management? Has Hollywood gone to their head? Wassup?

Hi, Bellachefa:

No special knowledge here, but kālā rules, even on Kaua'i nei. Was a time when Black Pot (right behind the Nui) was the real deal.

Wherevah kālā rules, authenticity and character disappear. Case in point: Ma's in Lihu'e.

Aloha,
Kaleo

i just love the way kaeokahu introduces hawaiian language and culture into his postings.

for the malahini, "kālā" is translated as "mamon" in the bible, the 'almighty dollar' in popular speech. pronounced as two equal sylables Kah-Lah.

Often used in pidgin:
"eh brah, no can go kaukau, no mo kālā till friday 'as why."
