Who is The Saipan Blogger?
The Saipan Blogger is Angelo O'Connor Villagomez. Angelo is from Saipan, but lived in Japan, England, and the United States for 24 years before returning to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in 2006. Angelo is an environmentalist. He helped create Beautify CNMI, was the lead local organizer pushing for the creation of the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and was the 2009 Democratic candidate for Mayor of Saipan. Angelo moved back to Florida in 2010.
What is the CNMI? What does it stand for?
CNMI stands for Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. CNMI consists of 14 islands. Saipan is the largest of the 14.
Why is the url of this blog http://jetapplicant.blogspot.com?
Angelo started this blog when he was applying for the JET Program. He didn't get in, but to make a long story short, he went to Japan for a little while and moved to Saipan shortly afterwards. Read the archives if you want the full story.
What is a Chamaole?
Chamaole is a combination of the words Chamorro and Haole (pronounced How-Lee). Chamorros are the indigenous people of the Marianas and Haole is a Hawaiian word for foreigner (basically a white guy). I'm a little bit of both and I've seen Star Wars a few too many times, so I'm Obi-Wan Chamoale. My dog is Oreo Kenobi. He's a half-breed mongrel, too.
Does the Saipan Blogger have a best friend?
Oreo Kenobi! Oreo is my 3/4 Maltese 1/4 Scottish Terrier mix. He likes grilled chicken and pooping on my floor.
