9/4 - Fifth, last day in Oahu

I don't want to leave! I cannot believe that today was the last day here in Oahu! I feel like I am part of Waikiki, I don't want to leave...
Today after a quick fast breakfast we got on the bus that was supposed to take us to the Pearl Harbor War Memorial. Well, the bus driver told us to get off at the airport and get on an other bus that will take us there. It happened, but we had to wait more than half an hour for the bus... Never mind, we had loads of fun by singing the cup song and the song from Lilo and Stitch with Chloe. After like 2 hours we finally arrived to the memorial, which was shocking.
As we got our tickets -free!!- we walked around a bit, checked the little museum, all the signs. The at 1 we went in the theathre to watch a short -half an hour- movie about the attack, the why-s and how-s. It was shocking. I am not really interested in historical things, I never was, but seeing the real, original footage of the attack and the days before it happened was simply just shocking.
After the movie we got on a boat that took us to the USS Arizona memorial that is basically built above the sunken ship called Arizona. -I would mention that there are still dead bodies down there-
We walked around, took tons of pictures, and everybody was quite quiet. We saw the wall covered with all the people's names who lost their lives on the 7th of December in 1941. On  the way back to the memorial, I kept thinking. Everybody seemed emotional and sad, and although I felt emotional, I couldn't help but think that we shouldn't be sad. It might me stupid, but I think those people who risked and lost their lives on that day didn't do it just so people lots of years later could feel sorry for them or pity them. I was more proud than sad. I mean, of course it is sad, most of the guys on the ships were not older than 22 years old. But... I don't know. I just felt proud instead of sadness. And the other thing is that the social worker in me just thought that americans were not the only ones that lost their lives. There were tons of japanese people as well. Obviously the USA won't make a memorial for them, but they were people, too. And I don't think it was their idea to bomb Pearl Harbor, they were made to do so. They were dads, sons, brothers and husbands, too... And on this side nobody thinks about them...
After arriving back we walked around a bit more, checked the statues and then left.
We waited more than an hour for the bus, and then travelled more than 1 and a half hour. But eventually, we made it back.
We changed to bikinis and sneaked into the pool one last time just to sunbathe. It was great, we were there for at least 2 hours. After it we just came back to the hostel -when finishing Chloe's reservation for the 10th, the receptionist guy told me that probably I am his happiest customer he ever had. He always sees me smiling and laughing and that how great is that. I love when people see me that way- to get money and then went to buy souvenirs. And theeen, chill, because tomorrow we have to wake up at 5 in the morning to get to the airport.

Nem akarok elmenni innen! El sem hiszem, hogy a mai volt az utolso nap Oahu szigeten!  Ugy eezem, otthon vagyok itt, mar reszese vagyok Waikiki-nek, nagyon nem akarodzik hazamenni.
Egy gyors reggeli utan buszra pattantunk, hogy meglessuk a Pearl Harbor Haborus emlekmuvet, de a buszvezeto azt mondta a repternel -egy ora buszozas utan-, hogy szalljunk le majd fel egy masikra. Ez oke is lett volna, de az a bizonyosnmasik busz tobb, mint fel ora mulva jott. Na nem baj, addig is enekeltunk Chloeval, fokent a poharas dalt meg a Lilo es Stitchbol az egyiket, ami igazan kiraly volt. Ugy ket ora utan vegul megerkeztunk az emlekmuhoz, ami sokkolo volt.
Miutan megkaptuk a jegyeinket -ingyen!!- korbesetaltunk, megneztuk es elolvastuk a kiirasokat, majd 1 orakor bevonultunk a moziterembe, hogy megnezzunk egy fel oras filmet a tamadasrol, a miertekrol es hogyanokrol. En nem vagyok tulzottan oda a tortenelmi dolgokert, sosem voltam, de latni az eredeti felveteleket a tamadasrol es az azt megelozo napokrol igazan lelegzetelallito es hihetetlen volt.
A filmet kovetoen felszalltunk egy minihajora, ami elvitt minket a USS Arizona emlekmuhoz, ami gyakorlatilag az elsullyedt Arizona nevu hajo fole van megepitve -amiben meg mindig vannak holttestek-. Korbejartuk a nem tul nagy emlekmuvet, sok-sok kepet keszitettunk, mindenki csondes volt es lattuk a falat, ami azoknak a ferfiaknak a nevevel van beboritva, akik eletuket vesztettek 1941. December 7-en a ketoras tamadas alatt. A visszauton elgondolkodtam. Mindenki nagyon erzelmes es szomoru volt, es bar en is erzelmes voltam, de nem tudtam masra gondolni, minthogy nem kene szomorunak lennunk. Lehet, hogy ez a vilagegyetem legbutabb gondolata, de szerintem azok a ferfiak, akik az eletuket kockaztattak majd vesztettek el azon a napon nem azert tettek, hogy sok sok evvel kesobb mi sajnaljuk oket. Marmint, persze, hogy borzaszto, ami tortent, hiszen a hajokon a ferfiak tulnyomo tobbsege alig toltotte be a 22. eletevet, de nem tudom... en inkabb buszkeseget ereztem, mert nem hiszem, hogy bennem meglenne az a batorsag, ami bennuk volt.
Valamint -ez feltehetoleg a szocmunkas enemnek koszonheto-, nem tudtam masra gondolni, minthogy az amerikaiak nem az egyetlenek voltak, akik eletuket vesztettek. Rengeteg japan ferfi is meghalt. Persze nyilvan az amerikaiak nem fognak nekik emlekmuvet allitani, de ok is emberek voltak. Es ketlem, higy a sajat otletuk volt lebombazni Pearl Harbor-t, sokkal inkabb azt mondtak nekik/kenyszeritettek oket. Ok is apak, fiuk, testverek es ferjek voltak.... es ezen az oldalon megsem gondol rajuk senki.
A tura vege utan meg megneztuk a szobrokat, majd tobb, mint egy ora varakozas utan felszalltunk a buszra, amirol ropke masfel ora utan le is szalltunk. Visszaerve atoltoztunk bikinibe, hogy egy utolso alkalommal belogjunk a masik hotel medencejebe, ahol ket csodas orat toltottunk el a naplementeben.
Visszaterve a hostelba, befejeztuk Chloe szallasfoglalasat 10.-ere vonatkozoan. Kozben pedig az egyik recepcios srac kozolte, hogy szerinte en vagyok a legboldogabb es a legvidamabb ugyfele. Engem mindig csak nevetni meg mosolyogni lat, jo ram nezni. Imadom, amikor az emberek ilyennek latnak.
Vegul meg atszakadtunk a boltba venni par szuvenirt, majd visszasetaltunk a hostelbe es pakolas utan keszen alltunk aludni, hiszen holnap hajnali 5-kor kelunk, hogy kimenjunk a repterre.
