It&#8217;s three stories high but very wide, so that the bus stops on all four sides of it! <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good thing that I didn&#8217;t want to spend anything and wasn&#8217;t coming back to New Zealand, because there are some very cool stores there. After walking about long enough to get sore feet and back, I went home.. I had only bought lunch! I was kinda looking for a dress to wear to a wedding, but didn&#8217;t see one I thought would suit a special occasion and travel.<\/p>\n<p>When I got back I decided to go for a walk around Waikiki until I was hungry for dinner. Partway through we got a thunder and lightening storm and it poured with rain. Turns out there was even two water spouts out in the water&#8230; We could&#8217;t see them because the weather was so bad. I tried to wait it out in a hotel bar but ended up getting impatient and very damp going back to the hostel. <\/p>\n<p>It was getting late and I wanted to eat.. So after wandering around for a bit longer I ended up eating at the  Sanrio (Hello Kitty) restaurant buffet. Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t bring my camera or iPad because I was worried about the rain. Might head out to take pics today.<\/p>\n<p>Was petty tired after that so headed back and read some I Shall Wear Midnight on my iPad.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Picture of Waikiki beach on my wanderings before the storm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mallika.isprettyawesome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mallika.isprettyawesome.com\/2011\/05\/20110504-073607.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mallika.isprettyawesome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mallika.isprettyawesome.com\/2011\/05\/20110504-073607.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20110504-073607.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the day before yesterday I headed to Ala Moana shopping centre.
