Hawaii, Kenya, that is.
A reader sent the blog PPSIMMONS this map of East Africa, which shows a place called Hawaii in Kenya:
PPSIMMONS at first thought the image must be a photoshopped fake.
Then someone did a Google Map search for “Hawaii, Kenya” and discovered there really is such a place!
It’s called Hawaii Dormitory. Here’s a screenshot I took from Google Maps (click image to enlarge):
Hawaii Dormitory is one of several dormitories in the all-girls Catholic school called Loreto High School, in the green highlands of Limuru, in central Kenya, about 45 minutes from the capital, Nairobi.
