AboutMalia Expertise Aloha,
I can answer I would say about 99 % of all questions relating to Hawai`i.
Experience I work for tour agencies as a tour guide so have a wonderful island experience especially from the view of travelers and newcomers to the islands. I am also a high school language teacher.
In your answer to a question asked by Gail on 11.21.05 about Hawaiin funeral
customs you say not to wear black. If the family having the funeral is from
Hawaii, but is "haole" -- is it still customary to wear Aloha attire, is black still
a "no"?
Mahalo,
Beth
Answer Aloha,
You can wear black if you want to, but it's awkward nonetheless.
Even if you're ha'ole, you won't wear black normally but colors, Aloha attire, and it can be any color really or maybe black and white, but all black, I have never seen that here in Hawaii.
