Random Saipan musings

One thing I discovered while in Saipan is that the Japanese obviously have not yet invented the pedestrian crossing button. You know that button you push if you want to cross the road at the traffic lights. There was one such crossing next to the duty free shopping mall in the main shopping area of Saipan. The Japanese would just stand there, not noticing the button on the pole, and the light would absolutely not change for them. Out of mercy, I would push the button for them as I walked by and instantaneously the light changed to a 'walk' signal!
