“The happy hour at The Secret Garden Hostel started quietly around six, three travelers at the garden bar comparing notes on the surf at Waikiki Beach earlier that day. By seven the crowd had roughly tripled, mostly people who had just checked in and were using the discounted round as an easy excuse to introduce themselves before dinner plans got sorted out.”
