So im flying out to Waikiki tomorrow for about 6 days... can anyone help clear up a few things I've heard?

1. Yes, many from Japan and the Chinese are coming, 2. Locals are fond of nice people period. 3. No, you can find out of the way places to eat and buy things. Example you can buy breakfast in your hotel for $40 for the buffet or you can go out on the street in Waikiki and find a nice full breakfast for $5 - $9. You can buy souvenirs at the hotel or ABC store and pay a fortune or you can go the Aloha Stadium flea market. 4. Don't know. 5. Part of Waikiki yes, parts no, part near Hilton Hawaiian Village far end no, down by Diamond Head no. 6. No. 7. Yes, Vacation towns are in no rush. 8. Yes but more on the north shore and in the center, not Waikiki or the southern side of the island. 9. Don't know 10. Sharks yes, north shore, jelly fish no, this is not Florida 11. Not many one spot on the North Shore where one or two may come up. 12. HIke up Diamond Head. 13. Can't help you here.
