What cracked me up about this clip was that every time this Australian guy referred to it, he called it "shaved" ice, even after he heard it called shave ice.

I'll share some unique culture.

Driving today from airport to downtown to meet friends for happy hour. Exited Vineyard because of traffic. Right at the west edge of Chinatown, a beautiful but looked to be strung out Pacific Islander actively and boldly soliciting traffic in her short shorts and bikini top. You don't see that on the mainland everyday.
