Honolulu 2014 (4/7) : Pan-Pacific festival and Sunset Hula

Yuru-chara gathering in Honolulu !

After I got back from Diamond Head, I dropped in at Kahara Mall and did some shopping 🙂
I bought too much, especially coffee. I bought much coffee at Long’s drugs. So my suitcase got so heavy 😛

I went back to hotel and I found Kalakaua street became pedestrian mall.

ダイヤモンドヘッドから戻るとパレードの準備が始まっていました。

The preparation of parade has started.
Pan-Pacific festival was held while my stay in Honolulu. The parade was one of the entertaimant of the festival.

I was immensely curious about the parade, so once I went back to my hotel and then came to see the parade again.
I found it was Yuru-kyara (Japanese local mascot characters) parade !!

どんなパレードかと思ったら、ゆるキャラパレード！ヽ（・∀・）ノっていうか、ダレ？？？

Umm. What are they !?

Ushioni mo-ni-kun ???? What is it ?!?!?

ウシオニモーニクン。。。だから、ダレなの！？（宇和島の牛鬼をモチーフにしたゆるキャラらしい･･･）

I searched it later on the internet, “Mo-ni” is local mascot character of Uwajima, Ehime.
There’re sooo large number of mascot character in Japan ! I can’t know eveything.
Well, almost all mascot characters participated the parade weren’t well known, so there’s no one that I know. 🙁

After seeing the parade, I bought my meal at here. Sam’s kitchen.

夕飯は疲れたのでホテルで食べます（`･ω･´）

That day, I ate night meal in my room. I wanted to eat garlic shrimps !!! This spicy garlic shrimps set ($14) was so tasty. I didn’t like the rice, though 😛
And also papaya bought at Henry’s place was my dessert 🙂

ガーリックシュリンプ。あと別のお店でパパイヤも買いました。

After taking a nap for a while, I went out to Kuhio Beach Park around 6:30 p.m for seeing sunset hula at Kuhio beach park (Kuhio Beach Hula Show).

クヒオビーチパークで毎晩18時半前後から行われるサンセットフラを観賞～ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

When the show was over, it was getting dark.

サンセットフラが終わるころ、あたりはすっかり暗くなりました。

I strolled around Kalakaua street. Still so many people there. I was feeling very happy just strolling around the busy street.
After that I had a coffee at Honolulu Coffee within Moana Surfrider Hotel and then went back to my hotel around 10 p.m.

ホノルルコーヒー。空いていたので入りました（`･ω･´）

Though it was late at night, still lots of people were there 🙂

コーヒー飲んで一休み（`･ω･´）もう22時ぐらい。飲んでソソクサと帰って寝ました。
