Dave wrote a very touching blog today, Saipan: What I like about you. In the spirit of George Costanza and Just Do the Opposite, I offer the things that annoy me about Saipan. Here's my list of bad things:
Chicken Kelaguin
- Grocery stores tying the handles of your plastic bag together. This happens every time you buy anything at a grocery store. If the handles are all tied together, then how the hell are you supposed to carry your bag?
- The amount of wrapping used when you buy food at the street market. My favorite thing to order at the street market is yaki-tori, which is grilled chicken on a stick. I usually order three or four. After I order, they take the sticks, heat them up, wrap them in foil, put them inside a plastic bag, then add napkins to the bag. Come on, it's meat on a stick! Take my money and give me my stick. Never mind all that other stuff. It just ends up in the garbage two minutes later.
- Animal pancakes. Our streets are littered with dessicated, flattened cane toads, rats, cats, dogs, and other small assorted farm animals. Gross.
- African Queen and I'm Yours only get played on the radio a few times per week. I miss the days when these two songs were played no less than 37 times per day.
- Global Warming. Global Warming sucks and it needed to be included on this list.
