Ice Cream Love
We all scream for ice cream was a story I really didn't find too interesting. I, never having been out of Hawaii, wouldn't really understand what it's like to be a "foreigner" or "different". I thought it was right for the guy to stand up for himself, and a bit unfair for him to be treated as much, however, I think that if you are going to another country, you should be expected to be treated differently, and not always in a good way. I wasn't too sure what was fully going on as well. Though I didn't really care for the story, it did show me a little bit of what to expect when I do go out there, so in that way I found it interesting, but other than that, it was boring, and pointless.

I thought that this piece was terrible, but the response was spot on. Learn the culture, or don't be surprised to be treated differently for your ignorance. IE(if your driving on the wrong side of the road in Austrailia, expect to be vibed, or those europeans wearing speados here in america, ugh)
Its all about cultural relativity. How tolerant are you of visitors to Maui? If you are not so tolerant, then you should not expect tolerance of others when in their home environments. Just the same, travel is important.
