Auntie Charo's Soapbox

The other night, Kiko and I were channel surfing....Palau had a beautiful ad on CNN that made us want to rush out and clean up our diving gear and make plans to dive Palau again. The ad was beautiful and know that people far and away would be lured and enticed by the ad to visit the island. Good on Palau for having the foresight to place ads(albeit expensive) on CNN to capture the travelling market....
Today, I was surfing the net on some info on Abramoff and lo and behold......discovered that the CNMI has a yellow page add on the worldwide net that has phone numbers for everything from agriculture to: "Enjoy A Holiday In The CNMI About the CNMI Getting To Saipan, Tinian and Rota Hotels & Resorts Tours, Cruises & Adventures Golf Courses Shopping In The CNMI Visit Managaha Island Scuba Diving
Windsurfing Weddings In The CNMI Deep Sea Fishing Island Music Of The CNMI " I thought, surely, Guam had its own yellow pages....surely!!!!! And, tried typing in several versions of URLs and of course.....didn't come up with any hits because.............no one here is smart enough for something as simple or as inexpensive as the purchase of a yellow page ad on Verizon ad or a webpage that would list information for someone who wanted such information readily available on-line........so, once again, this sleepy little island lives up to its name........sleepy, lethargic and a follower in things technical....such a pity, such a shame......
Congratulations, CNMI....your ad makes us look ,gagu yan mudoro! Keep up the good work!
