what can i say? tori inspired me. thanks tor! :D
You know you're on Saipan when:
• White people are called haolies (howl-ees)(Hawaiian for "without breath")
• When you order milk you are asked, "Do you want it warm, or cold?"
• "Plenty" means "a lot," as in, "Miss, I have plenty homework"
• Silver or gold teeth are a status symbol on adults. The kids have them until their permanent teeth come in
• Spam is not low class– it's a delicacy available in 10 varieties
• Saying a bar is a "karaoke club" is another way of saying it is a strip club or brothel
• The roads are: Beach Road, Middle Road and Airport Road– the rest have names, but no one cares what they are
• Your directions for the pizza guy sound something like this: "Go down Beach Road to Chalan Piao. Take the road that takes you behind the Mobil across from the Pacific Gardenia Hotel– it's the house right there, on the corner."
• You have a maid when you're making $16,000/year
• You have to sell your maid to be able to afford to eat KFC
• Skinny people are all Japanese tourists
• You can't buy alcohol (except in a bar) after 10pm– unless you sweet-talk the Korean shopkeeper
• Your children's school snack consists of a large bag of chips, eggs, or sashimi
• No one has a mailbox (or address, for that matter). Everyone has a P.O. Box.
• Someone says "A.C." and are looked at as though they're speaking Latin.
• Off and On are verbs (as in, "Can you off the air con?")
• The power goes out several times a week
• You're not late until next week
• TVs a week behind, which is good (then you'll know whether it's worth your time to catch the latest episode of grey's anatomy)
• Speed bumps outnumber traffic lights by the hundreds
• 40mph feels like 80mph
• You can walk just about anywhere, but you're crazy if you do. The sidewalks begin in a no particular spot and end randomly
• Kids of all ages can see any movie at any time
• Police officers give hitchhikers a lift
• When your name is "Miss" regardless
• When you can wear Birkenstocks to your real professional job
• When kids play with cinder blocks for fun (why not?)
I don't know who came up with this list, but I'm pretty sure it was some teacher from Kansas or something. All of it seems normal!
New people must be so puzzled.
