Ala Moana Center

　　The Ala Moana Center was big, for sure, and I heard it was the biggest shopping mall in Hawaii, but it might not be so big from the American point of view. We strolled about the mall to kill drowsiness, but nothing attracted us. I got some swimming pants there. We didn't eat anything after arrival in Hawaii, and entered the mall's food court. The prices of dishes were generally high, and I ate a cool ramen, which was not good, but as it was the first meal in Hawaii, I took a picture of that memorable dish of the ramen. My daughter ate a hamburger, and told me that it was just the same as one in Japan other than its price. If you stay for longer days, like a week or more, you'd better get ingredients in the market and cook your meals yourself for saving money. Then we took a trolleybus on its longest route, which was operated from downtown to Diamond Head.

確かに広いショッピングモールだったが、アメリカ的な感覚からはそうでもないような気がした。眠気を紛らすために歩き回ったけれど、あまり目新しいものはなかった。ハワイらしいものはこういった街中には無いのかも知れない。腹が減ったので何か食べようと思ったがどれも高い。観光地価格か？長期滞在なら材料を買って帰ってコンドミニアムで料理するのが得策だと思えた。冷麺を注文したが、どこか味が変だった。一応ハワイで食べた初めての料理ということで記念写真。娘はハンバーガーを食べていたが、味は日本と同じという。気を取り直してトロリーバスの一番長い路線に乗ってみることにした。これはダイヤモンドヘッドを一周する。
