I'm surprised by what you said. I have absolutely not encountered any hostility towards whites - if anything it's the opposite!
I'm not the only person who has noticed hostility towards whites. It's a very observable phenomenon. I know a lot of people who have lived there and dealt with it. I also know white kids that went to school there and they had the shit beat out of them around the clock.
This is an easily researchable phenomenon and is widely discussed online.
There were also a lot of Hawaiin college students around where I grew up and they were constantly ratpacking whites.
Just like there will be people who argue that Vietnamese aren't the most aggressive people in Asia, that doesn't discount everyone else's experiences.
People will be friendly to you in HI and very cool in the bars, but you ever wind up in a minsunderstanding, you'll see what I mean. And if you live as a long-term local, other locals will fuck with you for being white.

The landscape and the nature is nice but pretty average if you've been to similar places in the world.
Great. Well, bust out the locations similar to Kauai that are in Asia then. Makes it an easy answer if there are tons of other places and it's just average.

The ultimate living location? You like slow traffic and no parking anywhere? No jobs and high cost of living? Bums everywhere ? You like getting laid I assume? - it is super hard with locals!
I was talking about the natural world there. And sure the slow pace of life.
I'm not sure we're you're going with all this. My Op was not meant to argue the benefits and negatives of living in Hawaii. We could do that about any location all day. Just was asking where in SEAsia looked most similar. And mentioned it was the ultimate place "for me."
Personally, if I lived in Hawaii, I'd focus mostly on tourist bitches, but again, actual logistics of living in Hawaii is besides the point of my OP.

To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
