    Rice candy! I'm half-Japanese and grew up eating Botan Rice Candy. Back then there was an actual small plastic toy like a tiny car. My college dorm mates reacted to the candy the same way Jay did, including being confused by the plastic wrapper. It's been... decades, and I still buy the occasional box! No real flavor, just nostalgia and a cute sticker.

    I used to buy those rice candies with the edible wrapper at Pier One Imports over 50 years ago. They were weird then too! 😁

    Right at the port in Hilo there is an Hoppa On Hoppa Off trolley and it goes to the same beach park, garden, downtown and a nice candy/cookie factory so if you don’t rent a car you can go to many of these locations

    Your pronounciation was fantastic. A bit of history on Liliu'okalani Park. When I was a kid, it was called the Japanese Tea Gardens. I think in the 80's the name was changed.

    The first time I had Tamo Ame candy was at the New York worlds fair when I was 14 years old from one of the Asian exhibits! I thought it was amazing that you ate the wrapper! I still find it from time to time and always get some!

    Matson shipping everywhere! My family name … dad would call for dinner reservations and we’d get a table right away even if the place was booked up. Love the Big Island, especially the north coast. Haulala village is so picturesque and classic. Polulu lookout is iconic and a must do. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

    OMG I use to love getting botan rice candy when I was a kid 40 year ago. What you had is probably some rip off, but cool to see that stuff exist still. Should have been in a Munch Pak. Also love to see all the cool stuff you visited in Hilo need to go there!

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  11 місяців тому +2

      We’ve had decent luck renting a day or two ahead of time, but we usually reserve well ahead of time. I don’t know that I’d wait until the day-of since you’re dealing with private vehicle owners using Turo and they might not be able to accommodate.

      @@parodeejay thanks I love that you folks rent and explore on your own. We haven’t cruised much , we on our 4th . usually we go on a paid excursion or if it’s to expensive we just walk. The Hawaii cruise the excursions are to expensive for us seniors so I want to drive and just see what I can see!

    I have to say, after watching several of your vlogs on a Princess ship, I'm really not feeling their MDR menu's. I really like soups and their soups don't look good at all. (NCL soups are fantastic in comparison). Can you get a good, normal soup in the buffet or International Cafe?
