So, nothing really that fascinating has been happening culturally lately, which I guess is good. I have been super duper busy with work lately, hence the lack of postings. My recent trip home has pointed out a few things I always forget to post about:
1. Gas is obscenely expensive. Really, you're better off not asking.
2. Same goes for groceries.
3. Yeah, they kind of hate white people here.
4. You know how bottles and whatnot have "HI Cash Refund" on the side? Well, to encourage recycling, they charge you that money in addition to the cost of whatever it is when you buy it at the grocery store, that way you have to go recycle to get that money back.
5. They are super, super big on recycling.
6. Roads are always under construction because the saltwater corrodes all of the pipes and everything like nobody's business.
7. Yeah, there are sharks sometimes, but they shut down the beaches after sightings.
8. No, I haven't seen Obama when he's been here, but apparently he stays very near where I live.
9. Haven't seen any LOSTfolk either.
10. They really do eat a lot of Spam.
Ten is a nice number, plus, that's all I can think of for now. And I don't have to feel guilty about going all of October without posting. Yay for me!

Oh!
11. The weather is always the same. Always. They say it's getting cooler and rainier, but I think it's psychobabble nonsense to cope with the fact that there are no seasons here because I can tell no difference at all. De-nial.
