Duh?! WTF?<br /><br />BYO chopsticks like the Japanese do......they keep them in their purse. Why not? safer, no environmental impact, no carcinogens.<br /><br />Coming from California in the the 1980's as tourists......we loved this weather. Hydrates your skin, gets rid of your desert wrinkles....and, you can hike naked in the Jungle...a real adventure treat and fun.<br /><br />Its coming to use the rest rooms that totally sucked! Can we not have clean rest rooms for the visitors and locals? Is this complicated? <br /><br />We went hiking in the forest today and when we came back..the county workers still eating lunch... a 3 hour lunch.... with lots of food, fun and aloha..at tax payers expense. Betta clean the bathrooms!<br /><br />Help Mel!<br /><br />Dr ShibaiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-23614957813289976092011-11-28T12:21:33.971-10:002011-11-28T12:21:33.971-10:00Don't feel sorry for the tourists and the rain...Don't feel sorry for the tourists and the rain - I can still remember back in 60's, when as a child the warm rain and chill of the evening trades was a blessed relief from the ice water falling from foggy skies, the iced windshields, and sting of frozen ears and fingers.....and should the sun burn through the warm and bright gloom, then it is a winter day of glory, better than any amount of fresh powder and the first morning run...<br /><br />The poor tourists aren't spending much more than they do at home, less than $170 a day total. The number of tourists is irrelevant to our economy, the amount they spend is crucial. Staying in time shares and vacation rentals that are the same price as nice accommodations back home, and shopping for food sales and at box stores brings precious little new money into our local economy - most of the money is headed for Wall Street as mortgage payments or profits for shareholders.<br /><br />Real estate speculation is not on the decline - the Council just passed bill 2140 which includes language our County Attorney will render useless and unenforceable the 1.5% growth limit when the 4,000 excess Transient Accommodation Units currently grand-fathered in are built. Wall Street financiers are waiting for the tourism visa issue with China and India to be resolved, and then tens of millions of wealthy mainland Asian investors will come calling for your piece of the American Dream and re-payment of our 14 trillion dollar National debt.
