    I really wish I could walk to more places here in Honolulu. In Europe we have a big walking culture but here, everyone drives everywhere and the cities infrastructure is adapted for the cars. So when I've tried to go for a longer walk or run here, more then half of the time is spent waiting at traffic lights.

    I have saved all of my cans and bottles and want to recycle them. In Sweden almost every single grocery store has the ability to recycle, but not here. I have to go on the bus for 30min to the closest recycling place. Not having easy access to recycling places does not promote recycling unfortunately.

    I saw a beautiful rainbow today and sat and thought about how lucky I am to be where I am right now.
