Waikiki at Night

In a sense, Waikiki is like any other major tourist city - except it's very clean, very warm, rarely rains, and is relatively safe due to the nature of Hawaii's people. For some great photos of what it looks like near the fancier stores check out the intro slideshow here. The main street is Kalakaua Ave. Walking around at night is very interesting - there are street performers with all the usuals and then some more unusual things, like people with parrots you can pose with, and my son's favorite: a dog wearing sunglasses and a sweater with a real mouse on his back. There are shops and shops and shops, plus restaurants and hula shows and christmas lights. It's a nice, tropical atmosphere with crowds of people walking around.

This aquarium is located around the steps of a shopping center, so as you walk through you can look at the fish and sharks and manta rays swim around. It is especially striking from outside at night. The people seen throught the glass are outside on the sidewalk.
