Swap Meet at Aloha Stadium

So we went to the Swap Meet at Aloha stadium on Saturday. Lots of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino merchants selling the same lines of things. There was a big Hawaiian guy who had engine parts and odd pieces of furniture laid out. It seemed like he just couldn't sell the stuff at a garage sale and thought, "I'll try the swap meet!" Bad idea.

About every 3rd booth was selling T-shirts - little people sizes were 8 for $20. Fat guys like me are 5 for $20. Caleb and I also bought some matching board shorts. We got the 2T size, thinking he'd be able to use them this summer, and they're already a little snug on him.

The part about the swap meet that cracks me up was this one stand that had all these cheap little toys (the shipping boxes in the back of the booth had Chinese all over them) just randomly placed out front. One was a scuba diver guy swimming around in a bowl and the other was a dolphin that would squirt water out of a blow hole every 10 seconds or so.

All-in-all it was pretty good... today's Wednesday and we're going to go back before we head to Poli look out and get a few more shirts and things. Posted by Picasa
