Can't start a fire without a spark

I was lucky enough to have a week off to travel to Hawaii for my cousin's wedding, which was a three day affair and definitely one of the best weddings I will probably ever go to (apart from my own of course, in case my wife is reading this). Here's a story about it:

On one of the nights we headed to a traditional Hawaiian dancing ceremony called a Luau which involves hula dances and traditional Polynesian food.

It was at a place called Old Lahaina Luau at Lahaina on the island of Mauii. This is their website: www.oldlahainaluau.com/

 

It was a pretty good show because it told the history of Hawaii through dance including rule by the Royal Family and later colonisation by the US. It's interesting that the Hawaiian flag has a union jack in it even though it is a state of the US.

 

We were served by a waiter called "Bulla man" who was a charismatic guy whose every sentence involved gangsta rap trash talk from the G Funk era. He even told us to "regulate" the buffet when it was served. I gave him a healthy tip because he tried pretty hard.
