Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop! Its warm, its slightly rundown, and it sounds like sporadic gunfire after dark. No, its not a banana republic in rebellion, its Christmas on Saipan. about every 10 feet somebody is selling fireworks out of a 20 foot container (for you math geniuses, this will work if you put all the containers perpendicular to the road). When asked why fireworks for Christmas, my Dad was given lots of cornball answers such as Asian traditional new year yada, yada, yada. But, finally an older local man gave the most succinct answer, "Why Not, they're cheap and fun!" Yeah, absolutely! I can't wait until I can get my hands on some of these.Tuesday, December 18, 2007
