Day 11 A Pondful of Koi


I deliberately stood in the sun for a few minutes enjoying the warmth and the blue of the sky. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and the view from my room afforded only so much admiration for it.

I took a walk around the mall. The shopping was good but the people-watching was even better. Ala Moana Center is an excellent place to people-watch. People from all over the world in all manners of dress and character mingle about. The mall is alive and colorful. Excitement of varying degrees float in the air.

A couple kiss and hold hands as they gaze at rings through a shop window. Teenage girls walk out of Skechers giggling and peering into bags of new purchases. A man cleans his sunglasses with his shirt and walks into the Oakley store. A woman loudly announces to her significant other (and to the rest of the world) that he should've bought her "the purse." Her shirt reads "Watch me." A girl of about 4 runs into Disney and her father helplessly follow pushing a stroller carrying a boy of about 2. A group of Japanese tourists stand at the food court deciding what to eat.

I sat to drink and enjoy my honeydew bubble drink next to a pond and watch as an elderly man fed the koi fish. I smiled and was amused at how so very like the koi fish people are. All so different with their own spots and markings.

I sat and watched the koi fish for a while more then slowly made my way back to the hotel enjoying more people-watching.
