Yeah, but the first people there had come from other, similar tropical islands.....
To be fair, my brother and SIL spent at least 10 years planning, visiting, getting into the local culture, etc before they moved. They decided they weren't just going to live there, but rather really get into it. And they've even adopted the local custom of vacationing in Las Vegas every year. I imagine if you moved there on a whim, or because your company or the government sent you, it would be very different. Seems fun for a while, but then the fact that it's so different from where you grew up starts to get to you. Hell, that even happens to people who move to California, and it's not as different as Hawaii.
