There are, as I am sure you know, large Filipino & Portugese communities in Hawaii, so you will feel very comfortable in terms of ethnicity. One of the things that I personally like best about living in Hawaii is the mix of ethnicities, the different foods & cultures. It makes for a rich & interesting atmosphere. In some aspects, Honolulu is more laid back than a mainland city (folks talk about "Hawaiian time"), but people do need to work hard here to make a living, since it is expensive to live here. I have lived in Honolulu for > 30 years & have seen a lot of folks come & go. It seems like a lot of people come here, but get homesick or find that the cost of living is just too much. They leave sometime during the first 2 years. If folks make it past 2 years, chances are they will be here forever. Good luck in making the right decision for you.
