Aloha!
This is the son of the owner of Erica's Store! Just wanted to say thank you for stopping by and talking story with her. She enjoyed it and can't wait to see you two again.
Her name is Rowena, the store is named after her daughter (my sister). Hawaii itself is a big melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, many immigrating from across the pacific. Also being from Hawaii, we're not really considered Hawaiian as that refers to being Kanaka or Native Hawaiian. The term that is mostly used is "local" as it covers a vast population of those who have lived in Hawaii extensively and even those who are born here.
My mom has extensive retail experience as she was a manager at Carter's, Macy's and Charlotte Russe. All without a college degree! Filipino food is good for the soul, but bad for the body lol.
But again, much mahalos for stopping by and featuring her on the vlog!
Safe travels and be blessed! :D
I’m glad to see Rowena here. I shopped at her shop both times I was there and the second time was this past July and I brought my sisters. Tell her I said Hi!
First, I clicked because of the title! I was watching Waikiki videos for updates, then your video came up! I actually got nostalgic when Erica showed you the Pinoy foodstalls inside that building adjacent to her shop you bought your shirt. I go take the The Bus from Waikiki, Kuhio Street to Hotel Street to Downtown, Chinatown, and eat the most delicious Pinoy food there. Even though I'm Filipino, cannot get away from it, or cannot get enough of it, go figure, Filipino food! Everytime I'm in Oahu, the first thing I'd do, checked in at the hotel in Waikiki, and then hit that Bus to Hotel Street and eat Filipino food in Chinatown. Typing this right now makes my mouth water, and I think I'm gonna head to Pinoy restaurant close and have some Filipino food, LOL! BTW, your shirt, the color of that Hawaiian shirt you chose and bought is right on, cool! Been awhile I have not been to Oahu, Hawaii, used to go almost every year, late 1990s to early 2000s! Lately, been sporadic traveling there, the last time i was in Oahu, Waikiki, was like 9 or 10 years ago. You mentioned you've been to the Philippines, and you said something about Chinatown "all over the world" so, was wondering if you've been to the one in Manila, which from what I've heard one of the oldest in the world. Haven't been there myself, but surely would go if I'm back in the Phils! I'm Filipino, but grew up in the province, but now in the States living in Southern California where I'm watching you! Chris love tacos! Thank you! 🙂
I love watch jets. Not too long ago, near the airport. I saw 4 jets, after take off. Fly straight up, super high. Then level off. Amazing!!!
CHRIS is so polite with things he doesn’t really like eating
My family and I have a week planned in September 2024 to be in Hawaii and cannot wait… Everyone is so excited.
Chris loves Tacos!! Thanks for streaming!! Enjoyed your review.
hey Chris you keep on saying your on the big island on Oahu it’s not the big island the big island is actually called Hawaii a place you should definitely visit
Chris loves tacos!!! 😂 Erica was awsome what a great energy she carried & spread. Wish you would have gotten Gladys that same yellow matching top to your shirt 🥰 You should definitely do a US China Town series. Would be epic. All the best to you and Gladys.
Most of the immigrants in Hawaii are originally from Ilocos Sur. Pineapple workers.
Nothing better than sippin on coffe and enjoy the chris vlogs!
Cuz thank you for showing us on how u love the island of Oahu ..🤙🏽brah you and your wife's content is so respectful and honest, please come back to Hawaii you folks are very entertaining and humble, not like few UA-camrs that had horrible things to say about where we're from and how Hawaii looks based on poverty and struggle.. keep up da good work you folks are da 💣. Mind you watching you folks makes us want to travel to Thailand...we are a small business in Oahu of 2 workers my wahine and myself trying to make it in expensive Oahu..😂 but yes we are making it as I text this review of your channel... So hopefully you folks return soon 🤙🏽"ALOHA"
Was such.an amazing video, Erica made it so great !!!! And the way you treat everyone with so much respect we love it !
Almost forgot that Chris Loves Tacos.
Its part of our culture history its called kukui nut shells!Woven with skill and intention, this lei is a token of love, respect and admiration. Traditionally, the giving of a kukui nut lei symbolizes a deep bond between individuals, whether it be between friends, family members or lovers. It is a gesture of aloha, conveying sentiments of warmth and affection.
Chris LOVES TACOS! Great video, as always. Hawaii is a special place. The culture is wonderful. Also, each island is different in many ways. Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful seeing this on a chilly, snowy day in Pennsylvania
What day was this? Where's the people?
HA = breath of life in HAwai'i. most people have good hearts in Hawaii. out there thats the way of living
I enjoy listening to Gladys's perspective. Nice video
It is so important to make a list of transportation at a place to make the most out of it. Hawaii is one of those places where car rentals are needed to explore the different places. It is cheaper than using taxis or uber. Tours are the best ways to spend your money in a place. You learn so much and really get the feel about a place. Hawaii is made up for hundreds of islands, but just a few main islands. The highlights of Oahu, a main island of Hawaii, include Iolani Palace, Kawaiahaʻo Church, Waikiki Beach, North Shore Beaches, Waipahu Plantation Village, Polynesian Cultural Center, Manoa Hike, Bishop Museum, Sea Life Park, Diamond Head Hike, Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial, Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden, Waimea Valley, Valley of the Temple Memorial Park, and Kaena Point. The list isn't exhaustive, but will give you a feel of Hawaii. A car is a definite must.
I love when you have Gladys in your video travel's, it adds to the vibes.
Chris, you keep saying that you are on the island of Hawaii, but you are actually on the island of Oahu. The Island of Hawaii is the big Island. Honolulu is in Oahu. 😊
Back to back with these videos heck yeah keep up the good work
Chris, 99% of the Filipinos in Hawaii are Illocanos. They speak Ilocano. Most Fililpinos on the mainland are not Ilocanos, and they speak Tagalog. It's like the Chinese population on the mainland. Majority in the Chinatowns are Cantonese (e.g., Hong Kong) and they speak Cantonese and not Mandarin. Btw Chris, I too am Filipino-Mixed (Ilocano-European-Hawaiian) from the Big Island of Hawaii. One of my European ancestors was a Whaler from New England (eastern part of the mainland). Anyway, I'm currently living in Michigan (had moved to Michigan in 2017 for law school)
Great videos Chris myself and wife moved from Ireland to Lanzarote we like to travel alot mite start blogging myself after watching ur channels. We both went to Hawaii a few years ago we got engaged there hint hint
It a must u go and see Diamond Head ,if u go make sure u go early in the morning gets very hot walking up Diamond head and bring water
Mr. Chris:Welcome to Chinatown,Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend in great joy & peace to meet some friendly Filipino women chatting with them & also shopping on the street markets in Hawaii in great joy January of 2024❤❤❤Congratulations to you guys for your three new remarkable videos released in Honolulu, Hawaii January of 2024❤❤❤
🎉🎉 I'm in for a treat with all there videos just keep on coming 😊 keep up the hard work bro 💪
Thanks a lot brother! I'm glad you're enjoying them!
FYI....@ 10:00...The fire that gutted Chinatown started out as a "controlled burn" to eradicate rodents that carried bubonic plague. But, like everything else, Mother Nature had other ideas & high winds quickly spread the controlled burn & the ensuing inferno destroyed 8 blocks, >7000+ homes & caused $1.5M in damages....
....BTW...When referring to "Hawaii" you could be referring to the State of Hawaii OR the island of Hawaii aka Big Island. For future reference, think of Hawaii (state) as consisting of different counties....1)Kauai & Ni'ihau; 2) HNL, Oahu; 3) Maui County=Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, Kaho'olawe; 4) Hawaii island aka Big Island
Chris loves tacos! 😊 I love that you and Gladys enjoyed Hawaii! I go there often to eat pho, or dim sum and buy exotic fruits sometimes.
There’s also a lot of crackheads in Chinatown Chris! I lived in Hawaii almost my whole life..met my wife there and all of my kids were born there. There’s no doubt Hawaii is paradise, but there are some places there that is dangerous and Chinatown being one of them, especially at nights! I live in Texas now but watching your vlog it looks like they cleaned up Chinatown a little bit just don’t go there at nights. Watching your vlog brought back a lot of memories. Don’t know if you’re still there, but i would really recommend you to go to the windward side of the island …Kailua, Kaneohe and the North Shore where the beaches aren’t so crowded and the scenery is amazing! Watching your vlog brought back a lot of memories…mahalo for sharing! Stay safe & God bless! Aloha . 🤙 🤙
Thank you for visiting Honolulu 🤙🏾 You guys should check out bishop museum and can learn out the hawaiian culture. Also a Luau is a must do for all.
Chris, what the next journey after Hawaii?
That Filipina lady was great at the store. She was funny 😆
Keep up the great content Bro Chris 😊
Downtown (Hotel Street) Used to have a lady that had amazing muscle control down there. (before my time) she would give exact change in quarters. Fly a hard boiled egg at someone and of course your ping pong balls.
Chris love’s tacos! Lovely video, Hawaii is another place I’d love to visit! Erica was such fun, Filipinos are such lovely people.
FYI, Chris....@ >1:00...building to your left, at harbor-side...was part of 1920-30s passenger cruise lines terminal. Further down from that is Aloha Tower which, for a time, was the tallest building in the territory @ 10 stories/186 ft. Going past that, is the USCG office. You're correct, in that >95% of ALL goods...vehicles, groceries, construction material, etc., etc...EVERYTHING....enters Hawaii thru HNL Harbor. Those docks are
Super dope content. Miss the islands so much. Just a heads up though. It's "Islands of Hawaii" or if you are referring to the island that Honolulu is on, it's the island of Oahu
Love the Honolulu content.
It’s not the Big Island, you’re on Oahu!
Chris loves 🌮!!!!! Love from Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands 🇲🇵
16:21 A little up the street there are shops with real flower lei. Plastic lei is good for giving novelty gifts to you family and friends.
That Crystal hit Hawaii hard contributing a good portion of the homeless situation
Saw comment about the Union Jack in the flag. Hawaii was never British. The Union Jack was added in Honor of Captain Cook charting the islands. (Not discovered since the Polynesians did that centuries earlier). The stripes represent the main islands.
Chris seeing you both jaywalking right in front of a cop car in Chinatown is hilarious! 😂 😂..jaywalking is illegal in Hawaii.
Chris loves tacos, and so do I! We will be there in April to visit our son who is stationed there and I can hardly wait.
That is amazing! I hope you guys have a great time!
Chris lover tacos!!🌮🌮🤙
Great vid as always..love it👍
Any plans for Australia in the future bro??
When I feel pouring I watch your videos buddy continue cheesing your dreams 🎉🎉
Chris loves tacos, but to be honest ( as you always say) I always watch your entire videos. Good job as always!
Chris Loves Tacosssssss!!!!! Mad love and respect from another LB native my brotha. Love your videos and always love the raw videos you output.
You are a beautiful couple! Love your channel! Love your tours. Some day I’ll have the money to visit all the places you’ve filmed. Keep up the good work.
You should check out Iolani palace .. lots of history there too 😊
48:11 you should have made a record of the Japanese tourist that arrived and shrine etiquette…
42:43 right behind you is a couple of real flower lei shops.
Mr. Chris:Welcome to Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii to tours the city in great joy & peace to meet more Filipino people in Chinatown January of 2024❤❤❤Congratulations to you guys to explores Chinatown & other amazing places in Honolulu, Hawaii January of 2024❤❤❤
3:40 That corner is "The Dragons Mouth" I have no idea why😅 Something about being the gateway to Chinatown. It was a fun hangout spot at night. Fun as in bizarre.
Chris loves tacos! Love your videos! We’ll be visiting this island in April, so excited!
Hawaii has problems with homeless like most places but these homeless come from the mainland... there State gives them a one way ticket to come here bcz of the cold...Hawaii has been trying to return them or help them to recover n Chinatown has been neglected by City n County...that historic building u saw Wo Fat was a famous Chinese restaurant that used to hold many Weddings n high end occasions...Hawaii has practically every nationality we’re call the international place of the world ...did u get to go to a luau on the west side of Oahu it’s pretty kool .... I enjoy ur videos ur a very considered person n well mannered n pleasant 🌺
I originally from there but I move in California San Diego ...
I miss Hawaii but it's very expensive
Glad y'all enjoy
Chris love tacos 🌮
We can call many Houseless. With medium home sale prices over 1 million and rentals competing with airbnb you can find many houseless working people.
New laws are restricting new air BNB’s to keep the apartment stock viable.
Chris loves tacos! Hey dude you’re awesome to follow I enjoy kicking back and learning about different countries and enjoying your good vibes my man. Take care! Joe -
Sorry, those ladies where you bought the lei didnʻt tell you that people in Hawai'i don't wear artificial lei like the ones you got. That's more like what you'd see in other states at "Hawaiian" events where they can't get the real flower lei. Ironically, Chinatown is the best place and generally least expensive place to buy fresh flower lei, especially on Maunakea St. As Gladys said, lei are given to greet or say farewell to people (usually tourists), but for residents, they are given for special occasions like graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc. as well political events, guest speakers, and of course, Hawaiian music and hula performances. Lei should be made (or bought) and given to someone, rather than purchased for oneself. The intention of the person making or giving the lei is important; it's not just a decorative adornment like jewelry. I think a lot of the vendors selling tourist stuff are immigrants who don't really know the real significance or history of Hawaiian things, or they aren't confident about their English, so they don't want to try to answer your questions. That Filipino lady was more typical of the friendly helpful people you'll meet around the Islands.
46:31 that is to wash your hands as a cleansing ritual
Be safe and careful while you guys are there!!! 😊👍🙏
Good morning Chris & Gladys thanks for showing 👍🏿✌🏾
Hey. The locals like a more subdued Aloha Shirt. Look for the fabric turned inside out.
Center of the red light district was Hotel street.
I love Tacos too Chris
now i wanna go to hawaii and soon :D
If you’re still on island try doner shack, Le’s banh mi, fort ruger market, olays, 808 tacos don Chema, Rico Rico chicken, pho to-chau, no name bbq sandwich, and the hot food items at Don quijote
Chris loves tacos, awesome video brother, lm watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks a lot for the support!
Thanks for sharing Chris , I really looking forward for my holiday in Disneyland Florida next month and hopefully we have time for Miami as well. 😊😊
I like the vibe of your videos
Chris loves tacos!! Love the longer videos! Great job!
41 Chris loves tacos.. and I live in Honolulu.. actually Kaneohe
Honolulu Chinatown burnt down a few times and before WW2 many shops and buildings were occupied by Japanese.
Saying it seems like it's own country... read up on how the usa had the Hawaiian queen overthrown and took the land.
Still apart of the u.s. regardless.
Chris loves tacos ! Bro we have nothing better to do. We live through you and your adventures haha. Bring on the 3 hour videos
Bought all kinds of stuff from there in the 70's and 80's.
Thank you share Hawaii series ❤ and 2024 . The Homeless people Community ❤ series Yes we love see series on The Homeless people Community in America ❤❤.
Chris doesn't love tacos. 43:00
Lol.😂😂
"Reminds me of Chinatown, Hong Kong" (12:55)? Chris, which part of Hong Kong is Chinatown?😮
Chris loves tacos.
Chris loves taco😁you are brave to be in Chinatown there. We were told so many times not to go there by locals after 2pm. It’s why they closed early and there a security guy
Thank you so much! Yes, I can see why! The streets definitely started to look rough after about 2/3
It's true "Chris Loves Tacos". Really enjoying your travels from London England.
Thank you so much! I hope your new year is starting off right!
CHRIS LOVES FUZZY TACOS! Oh wow I'm in love. Erica was so cute so beautiful!!! I gotta watch a few more times...
Travel to Guam you're just 7hrs from Hawaii where America day begins!
I need to go!!!!
Hawaii is beautiful but too expensive and two Americanized
Chris loves tacos! Love your content
man! As a 9 to 5 guy, you are an inspiration my man! Thanks
Chris Loves Tacos. Gladys Loves Shopping 😅... I really enjoyed that very sociable Filipina selling Hawaiian shirts. I can relate coz i'm a talkative pinoy as well, got it from my mom 😅...
Mmmm Chris really likes tacos 😂🌮cool video 🔥 I've always wanted to go to Hawaii thank you for sharing! 💯🌴🥥
Just another banger!
18:17 candle nut kukui
14:43 The strange dichotomy of this place, 2 diametrically opposed ways of life, a massive valley between them. Especially jarring on Kalakaua Avenue. Nordstrom, Jimmy Choo Shoes with security guards in suits at the front door and some guy crapping on the sidewalk or ranting incoherently right outside.
Chris you have to try Adela’s Country Eatery in Kaneohe. Their pork belly pasta is to die for!!!!
Chris loves tacos! thanks for awsome videos, looking forward for all your travels during 2024 // your subscriber from Sweden!
Chris loves tacos… not sure if you’ll remember me, I met you in Yaowarat in Bangkok mid Feb you were drinking with your buddies. I had a cast in my right arm…
Hey Chris wondering if there is a Chinatown in China .love your videos
Chris u were a army head like myself make sure u do pearl harbour u need a day there
Also Gladys would love the Polynesian culture set ,its brilliant
Downtown Hawaii has a day and night personality. Night time it can be sketchier with women? Working corners.
Feliz ñoooooo¡¡ Chris y Gladys, un abrazooooo en Honolulu, el nombre me viene a la mente películas de guerra y acción. hace tiempo, nO se si Gladys recuerda tuvimos la moda Hawayana, y eso eso camisas Hawayanas, fiestas Hawayanas y veíamos en un canal de tv, bailes hermosos de mujeres.
Chris loves tacos. Always love the videos!
