I lived there from 1987 to 1994. I've been all over Viti Levu and to a few islands in Lau, Koro, Ovalau.. and I forget what else :)

I have really great memories of the place.. it was a wonderful place to grow up.

Tetris on mobile phones was designed to work between stations in Tokyo. This is why the length of the games is set at 2 minutes.

Mika:

Aloha!! Thanks for becoming my friend on TechHui.com -- its been a lovely pleasure to meet you online.

Thanks also for opening my eyes of the benefits to Hawai'i from the "Education Video about Act 221/215". I can't wait to land my next dream Career opportunity in Hawaii where I can make a contribution to help revitalize & reinvent Hawai'i's High Technology sector, as a senior technologist or program manager. Pray for me that thats opportunity will come soon. Perhaps we can also meet someday in person.

Mahalo!!

Thank you for the welcome.
I will look at those groups.
Is there any group that invests in tech but NOT companies that take Act 221 money?

Mika,
Thank you for welcoming me & guiding me though techhui. I like the name! That fish in my profile picture is a giant Trevali, or Olua (what we call it in Hawaii).
