TFW the restaurant you walked into on a whim turned out to be better than the restaurant you wanted to eat at (but got rebuffed by an hour-long wait). So very good. Totally coming back soon. #kamitokuramen #wardvillage #wardcentre #kakaako #honolulu #hawaii #hawaiigrinds #hawaiieats #hawaiifoodie #hawaiifood (at Kamitoku Ramen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfgJrp_OXl-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Also known as the Hawaiian goose, the once common nene is now the world’s rarest goose. In 1952 the population was as low as 30 birds but by 2004 it’s estimated that there were 800 birds in the wild and another 1,000 in protected environments. For the 2017 edition of Pow!Wow! Worldwide’s flagship festival in Honolulu’s Kaka’ako neighborhood, Joram Roukes says he returned “to where it started,” drawing birds—only on a much larger scale—painting “Nene” on the Ward Centre parking structure entry on Auahi St. Trained as a fine artist Roukes uses “abstract narratives and figures that evoke introspection and contemplation” to comment on a range of personal, global, and cultural issues.  @joramroukes/  @powwowworldwide/  @wardvillage/
