That's in Kailua, on Oahu. The town is famous for its beaches. Kailua
beach has been called the best beach in America. It's the town where I
grew up. These days, it's just a tourist town. President Obama put that
place on the national map. After that, Japanese rock stars would visit
Kailua and post about restaurants they ate at in the town. That's when
the shit hit the fan.

I live in the next town over, Kaneohe. It suits me better. Tourists
aren't a problem here but sooner or later it'll become famous and we'll
be moving. We were at a small beach the other day. It's not much of a
beach but we're told that King Kamehameha and his army landed at that
spot and conquered the island of Oahu. If that's true, it's truly a
historic spot.

King Kamekame was an invader?

Indeed, King Kamehameha went from island to island to wage war and
conquer the peoples of the islands. He's a local hero and there are
statues of him in Honolulu and Hilo. I'm not sure why he's such a big
hero - he seems like a big troublemaker to me. He took over Oahu by
pushing a lot of people off a big cliff.
