Native Hawaiians In Las Vegas, On the Mainland

[TomK]

It's kind of an American traditional to move away from home and across the country in search of good jobs, a place that fits your ideals, etc.

I have a bit of an issue with that statement. It's not an American-only tradition, it's worldwide and very common in Europe and Asia for example. I also wonder why I meet so many people here that have never left the state. I also see the same thing on the mainland. Traveling out of their state is a big thing, let alone traveling abroad.

I don't think you can call it a tradition.
