2008夏威夷威基基呼拉節開始報名又要登場囉！

剛收到呼拉節主辦單位的信件，蘇菲想起了去年11月不但錯過了有始的第一次呼拉節，還慘痛地繳了八千多元報名費，竟然沒去成！

但是看到可愛的呼拉節慶還是很興奮地，除了精彩可期的workshop外，這次的特色是開幕舞會時，由Kamehameha呼拉學校舞者表演一系列祝賀David Kalakaua國王的生日、充滿祝福的舞，呼拉節期間正是國王的生日呢！另外閉幕舞會將在夏威夷威基基最著名的海灘Sunset on the Beach舉辦，會場提供最好的夏威夷音樂，所有的hula老師會在現場載歌載舞表演她們的拿手絕活喔，想起來畫面時在浪漫。另外這次的節慶將規劃許多夏威夷的商品，cd、服飾、書籍等等，提供瘋子任意搶購啦！
