PUNA vs other Hawaii

[jdirgo]

Puna does have a lot of people that "dropped out of the rat race", because they chose to. Its a laid-back, mellow place for the most part with some of the most stunning natural beauty you will ever see. In Puna, you have to be more self-sufficient than in many other places and that's a good thing -- it makes you think about how you use water, how much you drive, etc. You learn what your neighbors have growing and they learn what you have and you trade (my neighbor has coconuts and breadfruit, I have tangerines and lemons). You learn that the guy wandering on the street that on the mainland you would consider crazy is named John (no, not me or Rabi) and he's a nice guy if you just wave at him. Its a different world, but a good one.
