where are you from?

yes, I miss these...
Today, three of my friends and I were going on a field trip to a place called Odaiba where you can find many attractions and entertainment.
On the way, they asked me why people from Hawaii do not say that they are from America when they are asked. I realized that I never say that I am from America. Always, HAWAII! Why is that? I do feel that Hawaii is much different from the rest of America, but it still is part of it. any good answers???

People say it is much better at night.
Can you find Tokyo Tower?

It's because Hawaii is hardly part of the U.S.! And because you have Aloha pride :) When people asked me where I was from while I studied abroad, I responded "New York" instead of the States. I think part of the reason is because NY and Hawaii are so well known that people understand exactly what you mean. Try saying you are from Idaho though..not quite the same!
