Seabrook has this moldy strip of hamburger restaurants and Hawaiian motif motels and shopping centers, and that's where you march now. Soon you're at the main gate, and despite the copters, there aren't any police there, just two security guards.

...better places do not curdle the diner's juices with Tin Pan Aloha plunk-plunk music. Some of the most memorable songs are English or American ballads rendered in Hawaiian to a Hawaiian beat; The Battle Hymn of the Republic sounds terrific that way. Many other chants have their island-English versions, to wit: The Twelve Days of Christmas, in which "my tutu [grannie] give to me one mynah bird in one papaya tree, two coconut, three dried squid, four flower lei, five fat pig, six hula lesson, seven shrimp as wimming, eight ukulele, nine pound...
