Lei - More than a Hawaiian Garland

Aloha!

In Hawaii, one of the ways to experience the warm hospitality & culture is being treated to a beautiful garland of flowers or beads called a 'Lei'. From Hotel Receptions, Luaus to Oahu's Polynesian Cultural Center, one can feel the ecstasy of being welcomed by a beautiful Lei.

A lei signifies a warm welcome, a simple greeting, a way to display your affection or appreciation for someone. My personal favorite is the Orchids' Lei - exquisite, elegant and classy with a tropical touch.
 A lei is worn by men, women and children. This picture that I clicked in Oahu's Polynesian Cultural center shows men wearing beautiful lei during a performance.
Visit Hawaii & experience the warmth and beauty of being treated to a lei. I am sure you will love it.
  
Mahalo!
