Driving Tips<\/strong>
\nNewcomers to the islands who stop for directions may hear some unfamiliar terms. “Makai” means toward the ocean and “mauka” means toward the mountains. On the island of Oahu, toward “Diamond Head” is literal and “ewa (pronounced “eva”) means moving away from Diamond Head. Most Hawaiian drivers only use their horn in a real emergency, which is not the rule on the mainland\u2014particularly not in large metro areas. Patience usually reaps the reward of someone allowing you to cut in front of them in a long line of cars. Wave your thanks or shout “Shaka!”<\/p>\n
