Hawaii - The Opposite Land

By this point on the blog, you've probably got a good idea of what New York City and the area that encompasses it is like - a Megalopolis with a strong manufacturing industry, diversity within cultures and social issues, tightly-knit landscapes and waterways that help with trade and transportation ease. Well, we've reached our final destination on this blog regarding the geographical U.S., and it's a set of islands that are quite a bit on the opposite side of the U.S.: Hawaii.

These islands are known for their tropical climates, explosive volcanos, and pineapple production. An escapable getaway for most, Hawaii contains islands with considerable living situations such as the island of Oahu, and private islands owned by specific individuals. There is a lot of ethnic diversity in Hawaii, with no one ethnic group reaching about 31%.

The majority of difference between the two areas lies within it's topography and climate. Access to these places is another impact, as each island must be flown over or shipped out to reach, unlike New York City's famous connecting bridges and shipping harbors. Otherwise, it's economy is well-off as a great tourist destination, much like New York City for different reasons of attractiveness. It's weird to note that, considering these are vacation destinations, how physically different they are in appearance.
