I thought that no Hawaiian accommodation could beat up our ***** lodgings on the beach on Big Island. But there you go – our hostel in Honolulu makes me reconsider the negative impact of computers on human interactions. Or I could rather say: it made me realize that the positive impact of alcohol overweighs the negative impact of computers .
The Waikiki Backpackers Penthouse made me actually feel like I was living the Auberge Espagnole dream again – people from everywhere getting together, actually getting to know each other.
And the biggest part of the success of this place is its manager Charles. His family lives right next to the hostel and he seems to treat the backpackers as his extended family. He prepares wonderful meals for EVERYBODY twice a week. These evenings usually end up as parties. And for the American Thanksgiving, Charles actually prepared 3 turkeys and a real thanksgiving dinner for all his guests. So a lot of our fellow backpackers (Japanese, German, British, Swiss, French, Polish …) had their first taste of American Thanksgiving in Hawaii!
