The Breakroom Podcast is a unique and engaging show hosted by our American teachers from very different backgrounds discussing about the different cultures that make them who they are. In this episode, the hosts Shirin & Adam dive into the fascinating topic of the cultural differences between Hawaii and California.

Shirin, originally from California but is representing Hawaii, shares her insights and experiences of growing up in the Aloha State. At the same time, Adam, who is also from California, brings his own perspective to the conversation. Together, they discuss the various customs, traditions, and social norms that make each of these places unique, and explore how these cultural differences affect the way people interact with one another.

Throughout the episode, listeners will learn about the significance of hula dancing in Hawaiian culture, the importance of the "aloha spirit," and how the concept of "island time" differs from the fast-paced lifestyle of California. The hosts also touch on topics such as food, language, and music and share personal stories highlighting each culture's beauty and richness.

With their easygoing banter and thoughtful insights, Shirin and Adam create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that invites listeners to join in on the conversation. Whether you are a resident of Hawaii, California, or somewhere in between, the Breakroom Podcast's exploration of cultural differences will leave you with a deeper appreciation for our diverse world.
