Sometimes, when Manoa Valley isn't raining, I'll skip Kapi'olani Park and instead head to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for some exercise. To promote wellness within the community they marked a 1-mile walking path which loops through their beautiful campus. They encourage students, faculty, and visitors as well to use it.

Lately though, I've been veering off their walking route to increase my step count and to also check out some of the Asian architecture on East-West Road. One of the most noticeable buildings is the golden Royal Sala Thai, a traditional pavilion that was dedicated to the East-West Center by the King of Thailand. It's unique because it's the only one of four salas outside of Thailand that bears the Royal Seal.

Another building you can't miss is the Center for Korean Studies. Just look at the intricate details of the paintings and roof. The colors and shapes are spectacular.
