Comparison of Places

he territory of Hawaii is not as big as the territory of Colorado.
Whether Colorado is on the continent, Hawaii is on the islands.
To my mind it is more interesting to rest on the Hawaii islands.

here are not as cold days in Hawaii as in Colorado.
As for me the warmer, the better. But I don’t like when it is too hot.

Both in Colorado and in Hawaii there are many sunny days during a year.
On both pictures blue and white colours are predominated.
