This past Saturday, January 23, ten students and staff met up at Ka Restaurant & Lounge, which turns into a club at night. Those who signed up got into the club for free and enjoyed free drinks until 11 p.m. It was a great opportunity to mingle and dance with locals and experience the night scene in Hawaii.
