Hawaii was a sovereign nation until 1959 when it was declared a "state."
The Hawaiian language is still spoken and taught in Hawaii.

Just try to read as much as you can. No place is perfect. And it can definitely be expensive. It has a very high Asian population, so if you like Asian food, you'll do well.
Sam's Club or Costco or Safeway are there on Oahu (where 90% of the population is).
Hawaiian food is really Americanized. Lots of spam, hamburger, eggs, noodles, rice, macaroni salad. But there's also Popeyes, Subway, etc... I didn't eat Subway or Popeyes, but it's there. I ate mostly local places. Like old school Japanese Ramen shops, Korean spots, and SEAFOOD. Of course the seafood is outstanding. They've got food trucks that specialize in shrimp dishes which are amazing. They've got a swap meet at the Aloha bowl on like 2-3 days a week.
I love Hawaii...
I feel like Kama'aina there...
Running from the waves... Eating at the shrimp trucks...
