📱 Virtual Tours ✈ Hello dear Readers, a year ago when we started Virtual Variety we created different sections that over time we forgot, one of them is Virtual Tours, a space where we talk about some place in this beautiful world, in a quick and summarized way, showing some pictures of that site. Today our destination is Hawaii, we will know some curiosities of this beautiful island, join us. 📌 ¿What does Hawaii mean? - Many times we have heard this name, however we do not know its meaning, according to the first inhabitants of the island, they decided to call it this way, because it means "Place of the Gods". 📌 ¿Are they privileged? - The truth is yes, not only for its beautiful landscapes, but also for its location, Hawaii is in an ideal place for the cultivation of coffee, cocoa and vanilla, making it the only state in North America that can have these crops. Besides that, more than 80% of its wildlife exists only there, they are not found anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately, this animal population is in danger of extinction. 📌 ¿Snakes banned? - If you are afraid of these reptiles, then you should visit Hawaii, there is a kind of law that prohibits snakes, because they are considered a threat to the autochthonous fauna. 📌 ¿What is the meaning of the Flower Necklace? - For Hawaiians the Flower Necklace is the best way to welcome people, whether they are tourists or someone you invited to a celebration at home. It is considered bad manners not to put on or take off this flower necklace, because it is a way of belittling the beautiful tradition they have. Something that is curious to mention is that it is forbidden to throw away the necklaces, the best thing to do is to leave them in the grass or even the sea, because in this way you will be returning to the earth the flowers that were taken temporarily. 📌 ¿Hawaii does not stop growing? - Thanks to the Kilauea volcano, Hawaii grows more than 17 hectares annually, because Kilauea has been expelling lava for more than 30 years, solidifying the lava and creating edges that help its expansion. 📌 ¿Isn't your best beach a beach? - Although it sounds confusing, Waikiki one of the most famous beaches in Hawaii that has served as the setting for multiple film productions Hawaii 5-0, Lost among others, was not always a beach, on the contrary, it was a swamp, however a hundred years ago the decision was taken to convert the swamp into a beach, This is how they began to import sand from Manhattan Beach, a beach located in the state of California, this activity lasted until the 70's, when they began to notice a rise in sea level, thus creating such a beautiful beach, however it maintains a rather curious practice where sand is extracted to prevent the beach from disappearing. 👀 ¿Did you like these Curious Facts, ¿Did you already know it?. ⌨ Design Created in Canva.com 💻 Sources Consulted - 🔗 https://bit.ly/3lKWiuN 🔗 https://bit.ly/3m4fEvl 📲 #Curiosities #Information #Variety #Ramdon
