Grand Opening for the new Don Quijote!

 After shutting its doors at the end of January, patrons of the Don Qujote Store in Waipahu were told of a new location to be opened in the Kapolei area, and just this month its doors finally opened! Ditching the “Don Quijote” moniker for the far more fun and playful “Don Don Donki” name, this was like Don Quijote on steroids- not only a lot more BIG than the other locations, but boasting more departments, vendors and restaurants to peruse while there!
We’ve already visited the place twice and have yet to try some of the other interesting venodors like the Wagyu Steak booth and the soon-to-open Karaage shop! Hmmm, they're really gonna have to expand that food court area, methinks!
The "Don Don Donki" takes over the building last occupied by KMART years ago, which existed for awhile before dwindling out, but judging my how many people visited Donki, the new surrounding shops opening up, and the busy, busy parking lot, it looks like they may be able to successfully rejuvenate the area at last!!

Heavy Rains in Mililani...

 The islands got hit pretty hard a few weeks back and I just happened to be in Mililani that day, hoping for a walk! Needless to say, THAT got cancelled and I opted for a sit-down lunch in Zippy's instead!
Every time someone ran by the doors at Zippy's, they automatically opened, sending in a torrent of rain!
So yeah, walk got cancelled, but got some wonderfully moody photos.
